10/24 " Interdependence of organisms"-1





I think I need to improve is to learn more about these subjects. I think to improve is right down my notes faster. I also think that I need to improve is to pay attention to when the teacher is telling me what to do.

What was satisfying about my work is that I have done good at the assignment. I am also proud that I know what to do for the assignments. The one thing I learned this week is that there are secondary consumers and primary consumers.

I have also learned is that if one animal is gone from the food web then everything falls

Interdependence of organisms





Today my class talked about stems, roots, and leaves.


There are two types of roots called fibrous and taproots. Fibrous roots look like tree branches and taproots can reach water that is deep underground. Some taproots store food and for the plant.

Stems provide support for the plant allowing the leaves to reach the sunlight that they need to produce food. Stems also carry water and nutrients taken up by the roots to the leaves. The cells that do this work are called xylem cells. Then the food produced by the leaves moves to the other parts of the plant. This is done by the phloem cells.

Leaves are food making factories of green plants. Leaves use water and minerals from the soil, cordon dioxide from the air and energy from the sunlight to make food.

My work tells me that I learn from seeing and hearing people talk.

By paying attention and and listening to the teacher.

Nervous system




Function: controls everything you do 


Organs: Brain: the control center
              Spinal cord: the highway for information. To the brain and from the brain 
              Nervous: connects your body to the brain


Activity: we used a website to know what we have to put on our blogs. The website allowed us to answer questions to see what we learned from the tips the website gave us.


The nervous system works with the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.


Fun fact: Neurons are nerve cells that carry information as tiny electrical signals.

Fun fact: receptors are things in your body that sends a signal to your spinal cord to the brain because if something happened to a body part that was yours.

Urinary system






Function: Gets rid of  soluble waste/ liquid

Organs: Kidneys: filter blood
             Ureters: two tubes
             Bladder: stores urine for disposal
             Urethra: one tube

The urinary system works with the kidney, ureters, bladder, and urethra.

How to keep your bladder healthy: how to keep your bladder healthy is too eat healthy and not hold your pea in for more than 24 hours.

Fun fact: If you keep your pea in for 24 or more hours than you will have a bladder infection

Fun fact: the kidneys make your pea.

Fun fact: another name for pea is urine.

Fun fact: The brain signals the bladder that its time to empty the bladder

Fun fact: The waste from the blood gets taken away in the urine and goes into the toilet

Skeletal system








Function: Your long bones allow you to move and your toes finger and toes.  (provides structure). Produces blood in the bone marrow and protects your main organs and your.

Axial bones: axial bones keep you up right (spine and peluis).

Apendicular bones: Apendicular bones help move your arms and legs.

Joints: Bendy: synovial, Slip'n slide: cartilaginous, Roundy: Fibrous

Synovial: The synovial bones join together in a joint capsole, witch is where the knee joint is and where the fumur and the tibia meet.

Cartilaginous: cartilaginous joints are joined by cartilage, witch is sternocostal joint between the sternum and the first rib.

Fibrous: fibrous joints are joined by fibrous tissue, witch is sutures in the skull or the pelvis.

Fun fact: Synovial joints give a lot of movement.

Fun fact: Fibrous joints don't give out any movement at all.

Muscular system






 Function: The Muscular allows you to move your body

Cardiac: The Cardiac muscle is only found in the heart and is made out of muscle tissue

Smooth:  The Smooth muscle is found in the stomach, esophagus, Bronchi, and in the walls of your blood vessles

Skeletal: The Skeletal muscle is found attached to bones and can stretch or contract. They can also mold back into the shape they are usually in.

Fun fact: If a muscle is involuntary you can't control it

Fun fact: If a muscle is voluntary you can control it
I learned that

Digestive System

Function: Breaks down the food, separate and absorb nutrients, and water so they can be delivered to the circulatory system for distribution. It also gets rid of solid waste.

Organs: Mouth: Teeth and tongue
             Esophagus: a tube that is connected to the throat.
             Stomach: squishes the food
            Small intestine: longest tube in the body and the stomach gives the small intestine the food so it can go out the other way.
            Large intestine: absorbs the food
            rectum: large intestine
            aunus: goes to the toilet and goes 



Fun fact: The digestive is basically just how you get things in and out of your body



Fun fact: The tongue gets saliva so it can make it easier to chew

Respiratory system

Function: The Respiratory system provides oxygen and takes away waste witch is carbon dioxide.

Organs: Lungs: have bronchioles
             Bronchioles: have alveoli
             Alveoli: Oxygen passes from the alveoli into capillaryes of the circulatory system.
             Diaphragm: Pulls and pushes the air
             Trachea: Oxygen tube          

We made a model of the Respiratory system and we used plastic bottles and balloons. We made it by putting the regular balloon and not the ripped one on the top and the ripped one on the bottom because there was a hole on the bottom of the bottle and the way it works is by pulling the bottom. Then the regular balloon gets air and then releases the air like we do.

Fun fact: if you want to keep your lungs healthy then don't smoke EVER!

Fun fact: by keeping your lungs healthy your keeping yourself healthy.

Circulatory System




 
The function of the heart: to pump oxygen to your body

The function of the veins: takes blood to my heart

The function of the arteries: take blood away from my heart

organs: heart,veins, and arteries

Yesterday we walked around a picture of the heart that was drawn from chalk. We walked around carrying white cloth then exchanged it from another person for red cloth. The white cloth was oxygen poor blood and the red blood was oxygen rich blood.


Fun fact: The cardiovascular system is called a circular system because its like a cycle that repeats every time it ends.

Fun fact: The right ventricle, The pulmonary artery, and the right atrium has oxygen poor blood,

Fun fact: The left atrium, the left ventricle, and the aorta has oxygen rich blood.
