Luke Helland October 4 (3/3)

Review:

Today we had a double block in the class where time stands still. But today was different. It started off like any other boring bio class with the usual boring quiz which was on the Endocrine system. It was only 20 so it wasn't that big of a test. The test was just to prepare you for the BIG test next week. After the test Challoner gave us an assignment to be done in partners in the computer lab. The assignment was on hormone dissorders in the human body. We were to make a presentaion either on power-point or on paper and we were supposed to present next block. But then the FIRE ALARM rang. We didn't get to finish our presentaions so we worked all next block to do them, so we will probably present on Tuesday.

Thoughts:

So yeah I thought the fire drill was odd because we just had a fire drill so I knew something was up. In the hall after coming back inside I overheard Mr.Brown say it was electrical so it must've been the real deal. Anyways...back to bio. So after researching some of these dissorders i sort've lost my appetite because some of them are pretty knarley. The growths that some people have are gross, and don't even get me started on the hermaphroditism....yargh!!

Additional Insight:

Kay so I was wondering if the could be a way to prevent certain types of growths in the human body by limiting the amount of growth hormone sercreted throughout the body. You would probably die if you eliminated the growth hormone all together, so maybe if you could find a way to restrict the amount of GH to certain parts of the body it would cure disease like Acromegaly.


Anywho...thats my super awesome blog......Now I'ma go eat some TURKEY!

Luke,
All the fixins, except the above and beyond segment needs to include evidence of research. A simple "google" to find an answer to your question is sufficient.
