coming to an end

I just wanted to say thank you to Mrs./Ms. Peterson. I would like to think we would all agree that this class was different from most other science classes we have taken at Jeff State. There was a lot of material given to us, but it wasn't like most instructors he can barely explain it. You could actually teach us everything about a certain topic. Even going out side of the book some times just to make things clearer. Plus with all the other items assigned to us like; board games, community work, and blogging only helped to make us understand something a little better. So from behalf of my other classmates and I, welcome to Alabama and hope you enjoy it here.

P.S. You should go to Destin, FL it's a four hour drive and compared to many beaches I've seen around the world, this is one of the nicest.

digestion

there are six steps of processing food and they are; Ingestion, Propulsion, Mechanical Digestion, Chemical Digestion, Absorption, and Defecation. Food enters into the oral cavity and where our teeth and tongue grind up the food into smaller piecies. Food moves through the esophagus by a series of contractions that propel the food into the stomach. Here food is broke down more with the help of digestive enzymes and three muscles in the stomach; Longitudinal, circular, and oblique. food passes through the duodenum--->Jejunum--->and lleum. All are part of the small intestine. This is also where nutrients are digested into our body. next digestable food passes into the cecum--->ascending colon--->transverse colon--->descending colon--->and into the sigmoid colon. Finally unwanted food enters the rectum and into the anal canal.

viagra

I was looking through the book and found an article on Viagra. I thought this was an interesting article that has some interesting knowledge. I had know idea that 50% of males over the age of 40 may experience some form of erectile dis function. I had know idea that the numbers were that high. 20% of cases of erectile dis function are from some type of psychological or emotional cause. A common drug that we use to fight of allergies, antihistamine, can cause temporary impotence. A couple options that where used to cure impotence are; shots that are injected into the penis, a pill inserted into the opening of the urethra, and a penis vacuum pump, it's not mine baby, great line from Austin Powers. All of those are options but, sound very painful. Now in current times their are several pills like Viagra, Cialis, and levitra. The three pills are suppose to work within an hour and have no side effects. If you want to know more about this you can find it on pg. 1074 in your lecture book.
