Ciraculatory System

Image result for circulatory system


Function: The circulatory system's function is to give oxygen to the blood, for the blood to give to the body. It does this by taking the oxygen poor blood through the lungs to give it oxygen. Then it sends the oxygen rich blood to the body.

 Organs:  The organs in the circulatory are the heart, which pumps the blood to the arteries and the veins. Then there is the arteries which carry the oxygen rich blood to the body. The veins carry the oxygen poor blood to the heart or lungs. Another organ in the circulatory system is the lungs. The lungs give the oxygen poor blood oxygen. In the heart specifically, the right ventricle,the pulmonary artery,left atrium,left ventricle,aorta,right atrium.

How it works with the others: The circulatory system works with other systems as it touches every organ and system in your body. The reason it is connected to every system and organ is so it can transport oxygen efficiently. Also the circulatory system and its fluids are super important to your digestive system that has absorbed nutrients from your food.

Analogy: Image result for cars on street clipart


I chose the street with cars and shops as my analogy of the circulatory system as you can think of the chemical compounds as cars and the circulatory system as a network of freeways, main streets, and side streets. The cars travel from one place to the other like if a compound was created in the brain and sent to the liver.

Structure and Function: The veins. Veins look pretty strange if you ask me, they kind of look like a tree branch with more tiny branches coming from that. I believe that the shape of the veins affects it's function in the way that if it's function is to carry the oxygen poor blood to the heart or lungs, then I suppose that it carry's it in a tube. Also veins kind of look like tiny tubes that run across your body, so if they are tubes that carry oxygen,etc. than that's why they look like tubes because they are.

Amedeo Avogadro - 5/27/18

Image
Summary : Amedeo Avogadro was an Italian scientist who created what is now known as Avogadro's law. Known as a founder of the atomic-molecular theory, he was the first scientist to realize that elements could exist in the form of molecules rather than as individual atoms. His biggest contribution to science, Avogadro’s law, states that equal volumes of gasses under the same conditions of pressure and temperature will contain an equal number of molecules. Amedeo Avogadro was born on August 9th 1776 to Filippo Avogadro and Anna Maria Vercellone. Coming from a family of lawyers, Advogadro was guided to a legal career, and became a bachelor of jurisprudence in 1792. Despite a successful legal career; Avogadro has started private studies of mathematics and physics, which then he pursued full time. SP8 - Communicating Information : This week, I communicated information in the form of a wanted poster about a certain scientist. I decided to create a wanted poster about Amedeo

How Stress Affects the Brain - 5/13/17

Image
Summary : Stress takes a variety of forms. Some stress happens as the result of a short-term event such as having an argument with a loved one. Other stress happens due to recurring situations, such as working a demanding job. When recurring situations cause stress that is both intense and sustained over a long period of time, this is known as chronic stress. Even though all stress triggers physiological reactions, chronic stress is a big problem because of the significant harm it can do to the body and the brain. When someone experiences a stressful event, an area of the brain that contributes to emotional processing sends a distress signal to the hypothalamus. This area of the brain functions like a command center, communicating with the rest of the body through the nervous system so that the person has the energy to fight or flee. This “fight-or-flight” response is responsible for the physical reactions most people correlate with stress including increased heart rate

Roller Coaster Project Blog - 2/18/18

Summary : A roller coaster ride is a thrilling experience which involves a lot of physics. Part of the physics of a roller coaster is the physics of work and energy. The ride often begins as a chain and motor which exerts a force on the train of cars to lift the train to the top of a vary tall hill. Once the cars are lifted to the top of the hill, gravity takes over and the remainder of the ride is an experience in energy transformation. At the top of the hill, the cars possess a large amount of potential energy. Potential energy is dependent upon the mass of the object and the height of the object. As the cars descend the first drop they lose much of this potential energy in accord with their loss of height. The cars subsequently gain kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is dependent upon the mass of the object and the speed of the object. Therefore, their original potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
