There was lots of things that I learned in this unit. Starting with the digestive system. there is 6 basic functions to the digestive system. Ingestion, which involves the take in of food by the mouth, than secretion the oozing out of water , acid, or enzymes. Mixing propulsion which is the contractions and relaxations of muscles. than Digestion where the breaking down of the food into small peices happen. Absorbtion is the taking in needed nutrients and defecation. The order food goes down is the mouth to the pharynx, esophagus, stomach , small intestine, (duodenum, jejunum, ileum), and finaly the large intestine which passes through the cecum, appendix, ascending, transverse, decending, sigmoid colon, rectum than anus. We than learned about the different stages that food has energy extractions from. In stage 1 the large molecules are broken down into smaller ones. Stage 2 is the small molecules are turned into Acetly CoA. Stage 3 is when the food takes common pathways in oxidation of fuel molecules like ETC and the krebs cycle. There is also 3 different states. The fed state is also known ad the absoptive state and occurs difectlt after the meal. The pancreas releases insulin. The fasting state or the post absorptive state is whithin 1 hour of the meal and the insulin levels drops and glucagon rises. Glycogen is converted to glucose in the liver. Gluconeogenesis occurs in this stage and the next stage and it is remember as New Glucose Made.The starvation state is when the muscles rely solely on adipose tissue and the brai uses ketone bodies. Diabetes was an interesting topic for me. I learned about GLUT-4 transporters which are insulin dependent. Exercise increases the production of GLUT-4 because glucose transported into muscle and fat cells are by this. In the endocrine system steroid hormones are lipid soluble unlike non steriod hormones. The pituitary lobe is controlled by the hypothalamus, the posterior lobe is responsible for fluid retentionand contraction of the uterus. The pancreas includes insulin which reduces blood glucose and glucagon increases blood glucose. The kidneys regulate red blood cell production. The Thymus is above the heart and lots of T cells develop here. The tonsils are an aggregation of lymphatic tissue at the ring of the throat. THere are lymph nodes which are bean shaped and it filters the lymph by trapping foreign substances, then destroyed by immune cells. T Cells involve Cellular immunity. B cells involve humoral and nk cells are a nonspecific responce.
There was lots of activities that we did. One being the Zebra notes was interesting and the recent homework we had of us searching for something our self. http://kianscoolblogs.blogspot.com/2016/01/diabetes-type-2.html

Diabetes (type 2)
http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/type-2/facts-about-type-2.html
I wanted to learn more about diabetes. Mainly type 2, the most common type. Your body does not take insulin properly as we learned in our fuel metabolism unit of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is treated with a change of lifestyle, oral medications and insulin injections. Type 2 diabetes causes peoples cells to be starved for energy and if not treatd correctly overtime it can effect your eyes, kidneys, nerves, or heart. Another thing i learned from this source is that type 2 diabetes tends to get worse over time. You may not need medications now but later on as you get older you may need it. A Very interesting fact I also read is that type 2 diabetes is more commonly found in African americans, latinos, Native Americans, asian americans and the aged population.
This reading seems credible to me, it has solid information that I have heard before and the page was written by a doctor. The only thing that stood out to me that did not feel right to me was that different races are more immune to it. I believe it to be more of a genetic thing and a way of lifestyle. I feel that if you stay true to the 5 pillars of health it should lower the risk of getting type 2 diabetes.

Digestive System lab
1) In this lab we used ribbon to measure different parts of our digestive system. Obviously they were not exact measurements because we used body parts to base some of the measurements off of. We than stretch them out along the ceiling and realized how long the digestive system ends up being.
DIGESTIVE ORGAN CM
Mouth 26.8
Esophagus 58.9
Stomach 21.4
Small Intestine 752.8
Large Intestine 188.5
TOTAL
2) My height in meters is 1.8288. My digestive system is able to fit in my abdomen because it is folded up so many times. Specially the small intestine. Mine was about 738 cm and it was all folded up to be able to be fit in my stomach.
3) I would say that it takes about 6 hours for food to digest. I say this because that is just what I have heard all my life as I was growing up. Online it says that it takes about 6-8 hours for food to digest. How much water you drink can also effect your digestive tract.
4) Digestion is the mechanical and chemical breaking down of food into smaller components that can be absorbed into a blood stream while absorption relates to the small intestine which is the site where most of the nutrients from ingested food are absorbed.
5) How would fiber help the digestive system?Would it speed it up? What enzymes aid in the digestive system?

Goals
1) My first goal is related to school. I will not get any C's this semester. What i am going to do is, I will change my study habits for some things. In anatomy I am going to raise my test score category by studying more than just one night in advance and do more than just reading through my notes a couple times. I will as well do the same for other classes that I may struggle in.
2) My long term goal is to play college football. To achieve this goal I will do sprints and agility at least 4-5 times a week. On Saturday and Sunday I will work on ball skills. I am going to work as hard as possible to achieve this goal. It is something very important to me to work as hard as I can to reach this level.
