This Is What Happened To Our EX President Two Years Ago

Oh, no! Sorry! Wrong head!  If all the information is correct this is what  happened to her



As you can see, this was a hematoma, not a CLOT!!! A blood clot forms and cuts off the blood supply to a part of the brain, the result can be an ischemic stroke.Sometimes, a blood clot forms in and occludes an artery that supplies the brain. If the blood supply is cut off from a part of the brain, oxygen and other nutrients cannot be delivered to that part of the brain and cells begin to die. There are causes for blood clot in brain and the treatments vary depending on the each condition.

Our president had a hematoma in the meninges. What are they???

Our brain is surrounded and protected by a group of membranes called MENINGES and inside these membranes there is cerebrospinal fluid that acts as a cushion for the neuraxis, also bringing nutrients to the brain and spinal cord and removing waste from the system. The main function of the merninges is:

1. Protecting the brain and spinal cord form mechanical injury

1. Providing blood suply to the skull and to the hemispheres

1. Providing a space for the flow of cerebrospinal fluid.

Please, check on this crazy story. What did the doctors do with the bone of the skull that they removed???? Why????

*VIDEO 1  Nervous System by our friend Hank


*VIDEO 2: The Brain and its Functions (I will only ask you the things we saw)


*VIDEO 3 Another video with a kind of review


*Video 4 How neurons work



Our brain is so amazing!!!!

 Great poster!!!

 

When the brain gets ill...

I Like Big Bones and I Cannot Lie

Hi, people. How are you??
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!

Though I'm not with you physically, my mind is planning the classes for the rest of the year. I don't think we will have time to talk about the three topics that are missing. That's why I would like to know if you prefer to see Reproductive System or Nervous System. Have an answer ready for Thursday. We won't have time to prepare the talk on Alcohol , either. It's a pity!
So on Monday, start working on  the Practical work on SKELETAL SYSTEM. It will be in groups:

GROUP A: Montivero- Tschubarov- Gerbaudo- Fernández Jorba- Amagliani

GROUP B: Alegre- Girado- Yusim- Castiglioni- Lanfranchi-Ghio

GROUP C: Uezen Bozzi- Vargas- Burone- Sarcos- Williams- Debortoli

GROUP D: De Aguirre- Obiglio- Lammana- Fagoaga- Crotto- Espíndola

 And the practical work is this (don't forget to print it and add it at the beginning of your work!!!!)

                                                   I hope you enjoy the task and SMILE!!

The Tissue Fluid Stability in Our Stars

The tittle of this post is connected to a certain film that certain pre- teen  forced her mother to watch once and again during summer holidays :P



After the fun part, let's get down to business!! 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. Here you have my ppt presentation for you to study from

4to 4 excretion from Andrea Sánchez del Rio

Skin homeostasis from Andrea Sánchez del Rio

So How will we remember all these for the end-of-the-year integrative test???!!!! Ok people, to close this long post (looks like a Will and Testament) I´m leaving you (AGAIN!!) the great video that summarises HOMEOSTASIS  that we saw to start excretory system


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

Andrea 

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).

VJ Andre B Is Back!!!

 As on every rainy day, Vj Andrea is back, bringing you the best science videos!! On this occasion, three webisodes for you to have my lovely (what a nightmare!!) voice in your head while we review my powerpoint presentations!! Enjoy!!!

*Webisode 1  EXCRETORY SYSTEM



 
* Webisode 2  HOMEOSTASIS



 *WEBISODE 3  SKIN!!

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

Hi, guys! What about the XL 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 both for our test and the talk about ALCOHOLISM you'll have (Remember I wanted to create a TED talk to show to the whole school?)

 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!!!

<
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.
