The Respiratory System

COOL FACT:
You lose a lot of water just by breathing.Breathing allows you to take in the oxygen your cells need and expel carbon-dioxide waste. But when you exhale, you also breathe out a lot of water.




How much water do you lose from breathing? When at rest, humans exhale up to 17.5 milliliters (0.59 fluid ounces) of water per hour, according to a 2012 article in the journal Polish Pneumonology and Allergology. But you lose about four times that amount when you exercise, the study said.

Dislocated Shoulder

Dislocated shoulder. This is when a fall or blow causes the bone to pop out of the shoulder socket. Unlike a lot of joints in your body -- your elbow, for instance -- the shoulder is incredibly mobile.You might get a separated shoulder or a dislocated shoulder by:
  • Falling onto your shoulder, especially on a hard surface
  • Being hit in the shoulder
  • Trying to break a fall with your hand
Dislocated shoulders can also result from a sharp twisting of the arm. Sports that pose a higher risk of these two injuries are:
  • Football
  • Hockey
  • Rock climbing
  • Rugby
  • Soccer
  • Skiing
  • Volleyball
I chose to pick this specific joint because I workout and play a lot of sports and this would be very scary to happen to me.

Heart dissection

1. The most surprising thing I found about the heart was that the atria appeared as flaps did not appear as they would on paper.

2. The reason the atria and the ventricles are so different in structure is that the ventricles were thick and hard to cut through do to the amount of blood pumping through and the atria were flappy, pruny, and seemed more like a storage than atrium. The atria must deliver blood to the ventricles while the ventricles deliver blood to arteries to go outside the heart.

3. The left ventricle is larger than the right ventricle because the left ventricle mudt pump to the entire body while the right ventricle only has to pump it to the lungs.

4. The function is of the valves is to make sure blood flow goes through and does not go back. The chordae tendinae helps keeps the valves intact. The importance of the valves is very high as they prevent reverse blood flow which can damage our bodies
