How Do Our Bones Move?

12/9/2014

Have you ever injured a joint? (Sprained ankle, dislocated shoulder, tennis elbow, etc.) How did it feel? What things were difficult to do after the injury?

Which of their moveable joints would be the hardest to live without?

What things would be difficult to do without that joint? Why?

If you had to choose one of your moveable joints to live without, which one would it be? Why?

Is there any movement they could do without joints? (I can think of at least one.)

I have never injured my joints. I think it would hurt for a while then just stop.

I think the jaw would be most important because it lets you eat and chew. It gets you very parched if it was hanging open. You couldn't talk and you might swallow bugs. Your lungs would get very cold when it was winter.

Breath because you would be drinkin water every 5 seconds because of your mouth getting parched. You would have to mush up food to eat and even then it would still be hard.

My neck probably because you could still look around by moving your whole body.

All I can think of is certain movements in your lips.

Signs of Exercition

Reflection Questions.

What three basic things do our bodies need in order survive?
If we exert ourselves, what are three (or more) signs that our bodies are in distress? Explain why our body does that (research it if you need to).
What can we do to make these signs go away?

1. We need sleep, water, food, energy and shelter.

2. Are distress signs are sweat witch is released when you body needs to cool down. Another is you breathing deeply which is you needing more air because your using the blood very fast on the muscles so you start breathing in more and more Carbon Dioxide. Talking weakly is a distress call because your body just used so much air and is still recovering so its hard to talk.
3. Sweating if you just cool off then the sweat will stop coming and all the sweat on you will dry. When your breathing deeply and your in the middle of an exercise there's not much you can do but. You need to just stop and back when your. Same with talking weakly. You just got to relax for a second.

·      The apple is red violet. There is a few yellow spots outside of it. A yellow inside with some green and brown.

·      It smells like a apple. (I don’t like apples.) :(

·      3 brownish seed straight in the middle with a very small one in a crack in the middle.

·      There was a green circle on one side of the apple and a big blob on the other.

·      Down on the bottom there is brown. Ugly gross brown. Around the apple there is starting to be a brown.

·      It is wet and just a wet wet. Not sticky.

·      It has a stem that is brown. It has one line of dark red on the stem.

·      In the middle is a crack that is biggish smallish.

·      The middle may be missing seed.

·      The end of my toothpick is turning yellow.

·      When you stab the apple and magnify it water pops up.

·      The apple around it as white dots everywhere.
·      When you stab the outside of the apple it turns to red.
·      The inside of the seed is white. Pure white. It is broken up some though.

Why were you able to observe so many things about your apple today?
Why is observation and description so important in science?
Rank order the five senses in the order or your observations (i.e. which sense was used most, second most, etc

1.My senses made me able to see, smell, touch, hear and taste. I can use these to help me know these things.
2.Observation and description is so important, because then we see things we might not see normally. Description also lets other people observe on your words.
3. My sight was used by far most for looking at details and seeing how it looked. Then touch because the watery feel I felt and a few other things. Then Smell because I smelled the apple. I did hear very faintly when I poked the apple the crunch or the juice oozing out. Taste I did not use ever.

What was the hardest part of this activity?
Which organs do you think you put in the right places?
Which organs do you think are probably in the wrong places?

1. The hardest part of this activity was most likely the placing of the organs. This was because some these me and my partner had never heard of.
2. The heart, the lungs, the spleen, the eyes, the bladder, the brain, the stomach, the esophagus, the skin and both kidneys. Me and my partner knew where these went or in the area they went.
3. The trachea, the pharynx, the larynx, gall bladder, pancreas, the diaphragm and the liver. These are ones we maybe heard of but didn't know.

How Might Humans and Aliens Be Different?

Human

Humans have noses so they can smell there food and close things that could be dangerous as well.
Humans have strong jaws and sharp teeth to rip food up or chew it.
We have strong enough muscles to carry ourselves and other things.
Our eyes have pupils to adapt to different lighting.
We have brains to create things to help us and do things with intelligence.
We have hands and toes and thumbs! Thumbs let us carry things with ease. Toes let us walk.
We have a mouth and a nose to breath oxygen and taste with a tongue. Tongues also let us talk.
We have bones with let us walk and do other things without being a big blob.
We have ears so we can hear our surroundings and know if there's something there.

Alien

The Gravity is high on my planet so I decided to not use the long feet and use short claw feet to help move.
It has no feathers or any type of heat on it. It has a cooling system which is the blue balls.
The trunk helped it suck up the nutrient mud that they eat.
It walks really close to the ground which helps it with the wet and muddy surrounding. The claws help it dig in so it doesn't fall to easy any way.
The eyes are a kinda of eye that can see any where so the alien doesn't have to move the whole body just the eye.

Reflection (Or questions about.)

Do we have cells similar to the aliens you created? How or why not?
Humans (and probably aliens) have cells that have special functions. What are some of these cells and what organs and systems are they a part of? Give at least three examples and be specific. (Example: Osteoclasts are cells that make up spongy bone inside of many of our bones. This is part of the skeletal system.)

We have different cells I think completely. Different parts that we don't have. We don't because we adapted differently. Why because they have trunks and long eyes and weird. There would be some oft the same inside. The systems which is next question. Overall we have different and the same.
They have a heart which helps them breath and pumps blood.The hearts is part of the circular system which travels blood around. The bones are funny. It has one straight bone right through the middle down to the legs. The Trunk and eyes have muscles which are there bones.
