Hi, people!!!!What about the bone class? Did you find it useful? I love bones and the name of this post, apart from being part of one Ryanna's song,  is a well-known idiom

The Tissue Fluid Stability in Our Stars

The tittle of this post is connected to a certain film that certain teen  forced her mother to watch once and again over the years :P



After the fun part, let's get down to business!! I'll start with a helper for you to take into account what is really UNFORGETTABLE about excretion!


 Here you have two videos to refresh your mind on EXCRETORY SYSTEM, kidneys, nephrons and Osmoregulation  (remember that I will only ask for the names we saw in class)





I'm also including a link to a SUPERB page where you can check your information

http://www.abpischools.org.uk/page/modules/homeostasis_kidneys/kidneys5.cfm?coSiteNavigation_allTopic=1

But Homeostasis is not only about "peeing" and Zac Nephron (CUAC!).  It's also about Respiratory System, the LIVER and the SKIN. This time, instead of my powerpoint presentations, I'm including three webisodes I created for you (in case you want to hear my horrible nasal voice in your head for days!!) explaining my powerpoints. Don't hate me!!

A) EXCRETORY SYSTEM




 B) HOMEOSTASIS





C) SKIN





 So How will we remember all these for the end-of-the-year integrative test???!!!! 

 Ok people, Im closing this long post (looks like a Will and Testament) with a great video that summarises HOMEOSTASIS  


Enjoy the post and STUDY a lot!!!!!

PS: Well, for the test, all the powerpoint on Excretory System and Skin will be included as well as all the information on alcohol we have been discussing (plus the videos and webisodes I posted for you).

I Like Big Bones and I Cannot Lie

Hi, people! Have you been resting today??  Me??? Just correcting 😡😡
Let me start this post with one of my fav. bands with one of my fav songs (totally crazy video, isn't it?)



After the musical interval, back to work, people!

We will start working on SKELETAL SYSTEM. On Friday OCTOBER 20th

GROUP 1: Taboada- Lo- Vittola- Comesaña- Fernandez Bula- Mauvezin will explaining to us what a bone is and the function of the knee joint. They have to bring a bone cut longitudinally in halves  and a cow knee (ask the butcher!). The rest of the teams need to bring the bone cut in halves

 GROUP 2: Rojas- Caamaño- Castro Expósito- D' Angelo- Rávida- Zerni will put today (if you can) chicken bones in a bowl and cover them with vinegar. Please, take pictures of every step and one picture per day till Friday.

These are some useful videos on SKELETAL System for the brave members of group 1 (remember that is not only about BONES):

* One with our friend HANK (I think you remember him as well as his FIOS brother)



* the second one is a video on the anatomy of a human knee joint


 
* and the last one is about the BENEFITS of exercising!!!!




                                                   I hope you enjoy the task and SMILE!!

PD: Last but not the least, Miley's video that Sofi Cerredo posted for me some years ago that will help you remember the names of the bones

Alcohol, why do you do this to me???

Hi, guys! What about the weekend? Did you have a good time or overwork your liver???
The tittle of my post is connected to these jokes... Poor liver!!!


Well, I just wanted to post all the videos I found really interesting for us to discuss in class and to be included in the test

 First, check on the effect of alcohol on the brain 
 


Then, let's see what causes a HANGOVER



Where does this urge to pee come from????




Is there a CURE for HANGOVER????





The problem of alcohol is the LONG TERM EFFECTS!!! 


Drinking when you are under 18 is illegal, but it has got an anatomical explanation


And last but not the least... Can we have a water overdose????

 




Please, watch the videos and make a summary (in the posters groups) to discuss on Thursday.
