interesting joint disease

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva

This is a very rare disease with only about 1000 cases world wide. This is a disease that cause muscles and tissues to turn into bone which restricts movement of the body parts and locks the joints.Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva also known as FOP is the most devastating bone disorder known to man kind. Something as little as a bump can trigger the disease and cause a second skeleton to form. I chose this disease because it is very interesting and crazy how something like this can happen.

ex.science fitness goal

For my fitness, the goal I want to reach is to keep getting higher throughout the year on my beep test score.I usually get around 11-12. My goal is to reach 14 by the end of this semester. I want to keep getting better and improving my score each time we do the beep test and at the end of the semester i want to achieve my goal. A work out that will help me with this, will definitely be running/ jogging regularly and working on my stamina by doing running long distance. An app that I could use to create a routine for me is 'bleep fitness test' where it lets me do the beep test and calculates my vo2 level which is great!

Respiration lab

we filled up the 2 test tubes with lime water. One student blew into one of the test tubes using a straw and other student areated the other test tube. One of the test tubes showed in picture 1 changes to a white color because co2 was mixed by the breathing of the student. 

Next the same thing will happen using 2 beakers filled with distilled water. after the process of areating and breathing a drop of universal indactor will be added to both beakers. The beaker on the right in picture 2 turns yellow this indicates that co2 reached the water and shows that it is more acidic in pH level. The other beaker was areated and changes to a green color that shows it is neutral.

Vital capacity

These pictures represent how oxygen enters our lungs.  The straw in the picture represents the trachea while the green balloon on the bottom represents the diaphragm.   In picture one, everybody can see that when the diaphragm is pulled downward the balloon is full of air similarly in our body, the diaphragm must move down then the air will go through the trachea and into our lungs.  Also, as the diaphragm returns to it's original position, carbon dioxide will leave the body through the trachea.

Skeleton

My interesting post

the average human can hold their breath for 30-60 seconds. This limitation has more to do with the buildup of blood-acidifying carbon dioxide than the lack of oxygen, which your body stores in muscle proteins called myoglobin. People such as free-divers who practice diving underwater without scuba gear, have different techniques, such as hyperventilation, to decrease the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood, allowing them to hold their breath for longer times. Denmark's Stig Severinsen currently holds the Guinness World Record for the longest free dive. In 2010, he held his breath underwater for 22 minutes.

Fitness goal

My goal is to increase my stamina. My fitness test will be the beep test. I will train by going for runs every morning
