proteins

enzymes are- made of protein> shape is important, catalysts all cellular processes 
hormones- peptide
the structure is in 4 parts 1) primary structure 2) secondary 3) tertiary 4) quanternary


identify 4 main processes involved in respiration

glycolysis- conversion of glucose to pyrovate 8 ap 
krebs cype- election tranport 
electron transport chain- naOH & AO extrude it the interbrace sree 
oxidative phosptoryation- produces ATP by pustine it from intermembrsne to thr matris

structure of the aveoli

the structure is like a balloon, helps function during inhalation b/c it opens up to allow air & malg contact with a large area to preform gas exchange. the special features of the blood vessels wrapped around. 

Respiration

 goes through the nose>then through the nasal pasage> then the pharynx> then larynx> trachea> bronchi> bronchioles- passage of air to each develop> in the aveoli the gas exchsnge occurs > the diaphram lays at the bottom of air way. 

interesting muscle post(interesting facts)

- main purpose is to produce force and motion
- 650 skeletal muscles in human body
- tendons connect our soft contracting muscle to our hard body
- skeletal muscles can be further aware into the teo types slow twitch and fast twitch 
- takes 17 muscles in face for us to smile
- Smooth muscle (or visceral) is involuntary, its not controlled by our conscious mind. It is found on the walls of many organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, bladder, and blood vessels. Smooth muscles contract to move substances such as food through the organ.

urinary system interesting post(interesting facts)

- human bladder can hold 400 ml of urine
- human body blood filtered 400 times through kidney everyday
- urine stays in bladder 5 hours before discharge
- nerve sends signals to brain when bladder needs to be emptied
-  The bladder swells into a round shape like a balloon when full and gets smaller when empty. 
- there should be a control limit that shouldn’t be exceeded in situations where we have had to control our full bladder due to unavailability of a restroom.
-The kidney can clean more than 1 million gallons of water in a lifetime, which is more than enough to fill a small lake.
-You may suffer from stress if the muscles supporting the bladder are weakened. You can help to strengthen these by doing pelvic floor exercises.
-Urine is a blood byproduct and is non-toxic. It contains 95% water, 2.5% urea and 2.5% of other mixtures of minerals, salts and enzymes.
- If one kidney fails to function and is removed, the other kidney can increase in size by 50% within two months to handle the entire task of filtration.
- Urine is often diluted and added to potted plants in the garden as it has adequate urea content which is a wonderful source of nitrogen to plants.
