Human Body Redesign Project Blog

Summary: The problem with the skeletal system, is that it only protects your vital organs, and even though they do, there are holes. For example, the ribs, they protect the heart, even though they do, you still can’t survive a bullet or a knife to the heart. Most reasons why this happens is because the ribs have holes, this means that anything harmful like a blade or bullet, can get through. The original design was protecting the vital organs while still giving enough room to move and feel comfortable. It also helped to keep us up straight and helps us move.
Backward Looking: I knew a lot of things about the system I was redesigning. This is because our previous mini project we had to do very thorough research on every system in the human body and write and long blog about it and I did the skeletal system as my first blog and since it was my first one I did a good load of research to get my first research right and correct. This is how I know so much about the system I am redesigning.
Inward Looking: One thing I liked about my work is that this is one of the many projects that every single member pitched in and had a equal amount of work. One thing thing i would redo is our video because I thought we sounded a little monotone and bored and the video has some flaws so I wish we could have fixed the video a bit and the way our tone was.
Outward: Looking: One thing I would want people to notice about our project is that we put a lot of effort into trying to include all the required items to make it meet the teachers requirements.  My group put a lot of effort into this project and I want our project to look flawless so that people know that we did this project to show our effort and we didnt just slack off.
Forward Looking: One thing I would like to improve upon is our video. This is because our voices were monotone and almost lifeless sounding. And for a good presentation you have to show interest in your own topic and have a nice "alive" voice. Another thing I would like to improve upon is our video editing because our video had some flaws in it and and since we waited till the last minute to do our video we had to go through it quickly.This leads me to conclude with one final improvement. I think my group should have been on top of our work a little more because our video was almost at the verge of last minute.

Ideas For Redesign 11/12/16

Summary: The original design of the skeletal system protected the vital organs and it was placed above several systems and it is under the muscular system and your skin. The form of it is around your vital organs and the function is to protect your vital organs and help your body stay together. It helps your body stay together because it if you didn’t have your bones then nothing would really be sturdy. We are focusing on areas that are weaker and exposed so that when you are hit in a certain areas you won’t get injured or even die. For example the ribs even though it’s not really exposed it has a big impact because it protects your lungs, but without them your lungs wouldn’t be protected and you would die. Another example would be the clavicle because there are some spots where you could be stabbed or impaled.

SP2 Developing And Using Models: We used many different models of skeletons of both humans and animals to compare the pros and cons of a animals skeleton to a humans skeleton. We tried to find some disadvantages in the skeletons we observed because our idea is to protect open space in the skeletal system. And to do this we need to compare and contrast the pros and cons between a human skeleton and different animal skeletons.

XCC Structure And Function:

We looked at different structures for animal skeletons and how they help and protect the animals insides. We also compared the amount of protection a animals skeleton provides for a animal compared to a human. The structure really helped us see the difference of protection. Function was also important because if we redesign something we need to see what the outcome has on the function.

Is It Healthier To Be A Omnivore or Vegetarian?

Is It Healthier To Be A Omnivore or Vegetarian?

Omnivore diets are more healthier because it provides your body with a diet that has a variety of foods that benefit you,your,body,and your life.  I know this because if you have a omnivore diet you are less likely to not have enough of calories,Vitamin B12,Iron, and Zinc. Vitamin B12 is essential for your body because it helps protect your nerves and brain, if your vegetarian you lose your Vitamin B12 because you don't have meat in your diet. I know this because SENCER stated it very clearly in their article. It also helps your brain and nerves function and it helps the red blood cells develop. According to SENCER meat helps improve your bone health.

My 1st reason is that when you are a vegetarian you don't eat meat. And when you don't eat meat you lose a very important Vitamin in your body. That Vitamin is Vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is found in meat and helps and protects your brain and nerves. "Without meat in the diet humans cut out vitamin B12 and limit DHA/EPA (Active forms of omega-3 fats)" said SENCER. When your vegetarian you lose your Vitamin B12 which makes you vulnerable to sicknesses and disorders that include you brain and nerves which isn't so good.  When you don't eat meat you don't just lose Vitamin B12, you lose other key proteins, calories and more. Losing these proteins and calories sometimes can be unhealthy for your body.

My second reason why its better to be Omnivore is that Omnivores are less likely to fall short or things such as calories, zinc,Vitamin B12, and iron. These are all key things that your body needs to stay healthy but if you are a Vegetarian then you are unhealthy and are probably falling short of all these things right now.  "Also, eaters of any food are less likely to be (not having enough of something) intotal calories, Vitamin B12, proteins,iron and zinc than their vegetarian partners." Says SENCER. Meat contains all of these things but since Vegetarian's don't eat meat they are losing these things and their becoming unhealthy and more prone to diseases because the Vitamin B12 is connected to the brain and nerves because it helps your brain and nerves stay clear and function properly. Your brain and nerves are connected to the nervous system so if you lack Vitamin B12 your nervous system could be harmed or at risk of disease and disorders.

 A 3rd reason that you should be a Omnivore is because meat helps your bones stay healthy. And vegetarians don't consume meat meaning some of their bones are unhealthy and probably experience weakness in bones. The bones also begin cracking because of old age and this is caused by old age of the bones and a very scarce amount of proteins. "Another thing that protein is important for is bone health. The studies show that consumption of protein is related to increased bone density in old age and a lower risk of breaks/cracks. If you want to gain (or maintain) muscle, as well as prevent weakening bones/weak bones and breaks/cracks in old age, then the protein in meat can be helpful." Says Kris Gunnar's Of BSC.

You could argue that the vegetarians "live longer". But this myth or tell tale story is not true. This is because most vegetarians tend to be more "frantic" to eat healthy and tend to eat many nutritious foods to replace the proteins, calories, and vitamins they are missing out on. "Vegetarians do not live longer. This very old story/untrue story happens because vegetarians tend to be more health conscious overall, eating a more (eating lots of different healthy foods), exercising more, and smoking less than most people." Said ProCon.Org What ProCon.Org is trying to say is that most vegetarians are health conscious which means that they eat healthier because of their own health concerns. While on the other hand Omnivore just eat anything because they know that they have the appropriate amount of proteins, calories, and vitamins. The one weakness in being a Omnivore is that eating meat could possibly raise a risk for type 2 but eating nuts, soy proteins can help prevent type 2.

In conclusion being Omnivore is more healthier because Omnivore diets are less likely to not have enough Vitamin B12,Iron,Calories,Zinc or protein. Meat provides your bones with plenty of fresh proteins which makes your bones strong and healthy. Without meat to provide our body with lots of proteins The bones will begin cracking because of old age and a very scarce amount of proteins. Since Vitamin B12 is a very important vitamin the meat Omnivores eat is full of it but on the other hand Vegetarian diets don't have much vitamin B12.  This is why Omnivore diets are much more healthier that Vegetarian diets.
