How lungs work:

When you breathe in your diaphragm contracts and your ribcage expands. To enter your lungs air needs to go through the trachea. A Human has only two lungs. Bronchial tubes are passage ways inside your lungs. The diaphragm is the muscle that allows you to breathe in and out. Oxygen cannot be stored in your body. When a human breathes out their body gets rid of carbon dioxide. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels. Alevoli are small sacs in your lung which store air. Emphysema can be caused by smoking.

Asthma:


Asthma is a common condition for the lungs. An asthma attack is similar to a heart attack since they both usually involve the constricting of an interval vessel. The direct cause for an asthma attack is swelling and excess mucous in the airways. Inhalers can help people with asthma subdue their attacks. Living close to a smokestack would be dangerous for people with asthma. Intense anger and stress can cause an asthma attack. Asthmatics should always carry their inhalers with them.


Smoking:


The main ingredient of a cigarette is tobacco. The addictive chemical inside a cigarette is nicotine. Your lungs take in oxygen and take out carbon dioxide. Smokers who try to play sports develop shortness of breathing and cramps. A smokers lung is usually black. Tar is a carcinogen that covers a smokers lung. Smoking causes straight away symptoms of coughing and bad breath. Cancer, emphysema, and heart attacks are the long term illnesses that are associated with smoking. It is difficult to quit smoking because of nicotine. Smoking can cause a deadly disease which is lung cancer.

My MYP Grade

Dear Parents of Hessa Al-Kubaisi


Hessa's MYP grade is 6 for this term. She should improve it to a 7 especially in the One World Criteria because its the only one that is bringing her grade down. Also, her Lab Reports because they are not very perfect and she want to get 6's on both of the criteria. Other than these two weak points her Criteria F is excellent since she gets a 6 out of 6 in it.

Healthy Vs. Unhealthy!!!

What to look at to decide if the food is (Healthy) or (Unhealthy)?

To decide if a food is healthy or unhealthy you have to look at the number of calories, fat content, salt content, and fiber. for a healthy food fruits and vegetables are the right thing to look for since they have a low number of calories and they are high in fiber, and a no salt content, and low fat content, but to replace this they are extremely high in vitamins which are essential for a healthy diet. Examples of a healthy diet are the diet has to be balanced like the food pyramid and healthy oils which are extracted from fruits like olive oil and seeds, also lean meat which are chicken and fish. An Unhealthy food would be extremely high in saturated fats, sugar, and salt and sometimes artificial flavors or coloring. Examples of an unhealthy food would be: processed foods, deep fried foods and any with fat or skin on it. A good diet has a healthy balance of all types of food in it but correct proportions.

The Mouth

The Mouth

Even before you eat, when you smell a food or taste it or even think of it the saliva begins to form in your mouth. when you eat the saliva breaks down a little bit of the chemicals of the food and make it easier to go through the esophagus. Also, your tongue helps by pushing the food around while you are chewing with your teeth. Also, an enzyme called (Amylase) to digest (Carbohydrates).When the food is ready to be swallowed your tongue pushes a small piece of chewed food which is usually called bolus towards the back of your throat and into the opening opening of the esophagus where the second part of the digestive system process takes place.

Parts of the Digestive System

The Digestive System

Mouth:-
1. Mechanical digestion
· Making food into small pieces – easier digest
2. Saliva
· Chemical digestion - Carbohydrates – sugar
Amylase - (bread, rice)
· Slimes food - slide down the esophagus

Esophagus:-
1. Slides food down to stomach

Stomach:-
1. Mechanical digestion churning food
2. Stores food
3. Chemically digest protein (meat)
· Makes Acid to help break apart protein (meat)
·Makes an Enzyme called pepsin which helps digest protein.

Small Intestine:-
· Fats – bile from liver / enzyme – lipase
Proteins – finished being digested – pepsin
Carbohydrates – finish being digested - enzyme amylase
(Digested food – protein, carbohydrates fats go into your blood.)

Pancreas:-
1. Makes all of your digestive enzymes that go into the small intestine.
2. Makes insulin – which makes your cells suck up the sugar in your blood.

Liver:-
1. Makes bile which goes to the small intestine – help digest fat.
2. Cleans your blood from poisons.

Large Intestine: - (Colon)
1. Keeps undigested food (waste).
2. takes up all your water.
