What if Assignment

How would your life be different if you did not have bones in your feet and hands?

I think that life would be very hard if you did not have bones in your hands. How would we be able to open a door, wash our hair or even drive a car .We would not have all of these inventions that helps us in everyday life. People might find a way around it over time so they can come up with a way for you to shake someone hand or you can pick up things more easily.



How would your life be different if you had your skeleton on the outside?

The whole history of the world would have been completely different if our skeleton was on the outside. That would mean that there would no longer be black, white, or Asian people. Everyone would be the color of their bones and in would be very hard to tell people apart. Our organs would be dripping on the ground and they are not protected enough. You could fall on the ground and your stomach could bust then you would be dead.








How would your life be different if your muscles did not connect to your bones?





If our muscles did not connect to our bones I would not be sitting here now. No one could get to where they need to go. Everybody would be like this live doll that can not do anything but blink.We would not be able to eat food cause you dont have any muscles on your jaw to chew. People cant survive anywhere if your muscles are not connected to your bones..

How would your life be different if your spine was one long bone as opposed to multiple bones?

If our spine was just one bone we would have to remodle everything. Cars would have to be taller certain sports would not exist.We also would not be able to bend our neck without feeling pain.It would be really easy for someone to brake their back by bending the worng way.I think that it would be ten times harder in life then is now if we only had a single backbone.

video ???

Do you think that the symmetry test conducted on the baby was flawed? How? Describe how you would design an experiment that could fool the baby and skew the results. ..

What is missing from this video about beauty?

What are features that might break the "typical" beauty rules? How are these different from the "typical" beauty rules?

How does this video make you feel about beauty?

What is it about the skin that makes it return to its place? What property is this?

What are the risks of cosmetic surgery? Would you ever do it? What would you be willing to risk for cosmetic surgery? How long will it last?

Someone in the video is quoted as saying that "make-up can make anyone prettier." Do you agree with this? Support your answer.

Do you think that there are cultural differences in how cosmetic surgery is viewed?

Yes.it’s a baby they don’t even know what is going on.Then they only had one baby in the room . It would have been more effective if they had added about 5 more babies.It was a waste of time to do this with a baby .They look at things differently because they dont know any better.I would use the same cause it cant get any worse than this one..

They never really give a clear answer on what beauty is…Through the whole video all they did was give us other peoples say on what they thick it is.There is really no clear answer to it.People just cant argee on what .

Having really uneven parts on your face.Someone could have been in a reck and had things done to there face that left them with scars all over there face..Typical beauty they are supposed to even.The hollywood versin of the perfect face.



That most people dont know what it means.They think that they have to go out and have surgery. Some people should just leave the idea that you have to be beautyful to get a head in life.


Its attached to muscle…

Cosmetic surgery is the worse thing you can do to your face. They have to cut up your face and other parts to change it. Sometimes people dont heal as well as they where told by the doctor. You could get sick from the fake parts that where put in your skin.I would never do that to myself.

No. Make up can only help you to a certain point. It can cover up maybe a small bump or something. It cant help you when you have a big scar on your face or its deformed because of some type of surgery. I think they have low self estem so they tell people that.

Yes. Some cultures veiw cosmetic surgery as an insalt. They have there religous reasons for not changing the way they look. People all over the world have different views on it but i still say they crazy for doing it.

What do you call a mass of cells that all perform the same function?
What type of tissue is specialized for the conduction of nerve impulses?
The term epidermis contains a prefix and a root term. What is the root in this word and what does it mean? What is the prefix in this word and what does it mean?
The term cavity appears frequently in this lesson. What does it mean?
Name the four main types of tissue and describe their function.
A cell is made of __________________ except for the nucleus which is made of __________________.
What type of membrane lines joint cavities and outer surfaces of bones?
What is an organ system?
Name the five types of membranes and where each is located.
What is the function of the cell membrane? The nucleus?
The cutaneous membrane is made of two distinct layers. Name each of these layers and describe what they are made of.

Anatomy deals with structure, physiology deals with functions of the organs
Cell tissue organ system
Study of
mucous
Organ
Nerve
