restroation
After James I died his son Charles I took the throne but after 24 years he was beheaded. Charles II fled and hid in France afterwards. Fore eleven years the country was ruled by parliament then Charles II returned. After he died his brother James II took over he then had a catholic son so the people were worried to have another catholic king so they got William of Orange to try and take over England because he was married to James II protestant daughter Mary. So when William went to try and take the crown from James II, James fled to France. And William and Mary were accepted into England as King and Queen with out a fight.
Satire is like making fun of how people are in a sarcastic way so that people could think what you were saying you meant. A lot of popular comedy shows today us satire as their whole idea. Family Guy and The Simpson’s are the two biggest examples that come to my mind. As they make fun of all common people.
It throws you off at the beginning because he talks so serious as well as throws in a lot of facts as if it was real scientific study. When he finally says his idea of eating children it really does sound like he’s being serious but later you can tell he’s using satire. He is making fun of how the upright English people think of “lower” people.
In the diary of Samuel Pepys it is him just writing about cretin days of his life. Just through his eyes. It shows what it is like through a normal person eyes back then. Not just a fictionally story from someone else’s view. Like during a public execution he talked about how it was in the crowd like the great shouts of joy he said.
He then was part of the famous Great Fire of London. He apparently woke up at first and thought little of it and went back to sleep but then woke up again to find it spreading. So he then leaves and sees all the people leaving the fire and how it engulfed peoples homes.
During this time what was really important was that people liked to trust facts, instead of what people just think. That is very important because it changed a lot of the writing that people came up with. Also people questioned a lot more of what has been said for a long time.

digestive nova net
1.What is the digestive tract? long tube with food first entering it at the mouth
2.What happens to undigested materials in the digestive tract? Continues along the tube until it exits at the anus.
3.Sketch the path that food takes through the digestive tract. Be sure to include the mouth, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestine, appendix, large intestine rectum, and all 4 sphincters.
4.What is the function of the mouth in the digestion process? Food enters through it and helps chew the food
5.What is the term for the small mass of food that enters into the esophagus? Bolus
6.What triggers peristalsis? The presence of the bolus in the esophagus
7.What is the function of the cardiac sphincter? Closes the entrance to the stomach and prevents its contents from reentering the esophagus.
8.What is the mucous membrane? Digestive tract.
9.How long is the small intestine? 24 ft
10.Where does most digestion and absorption of nutrients take place? Small intestine.
11.What increase the surface area of the small intestine? villi
12.What is the first section of the small intestine? What is its function? Duodenum, the duodenum is very sensitive area of the digestive tract. Its receptors can detect the presence of hypo and hypertonic solutions.
13.Where is bile stored? Gallbladder
14.What is segmentation? Grabbing a tube tightly at various places around the middle and squeezing so that its contents are broken into smaller pieces.
15.When does the ileocecal sphincter open? If the food in the small intestine begins to build up, the sphincter opens to let it through.
16.What is the function of the anal sphincter? Stops the waste from leaving the body until you want it to.
17.What is the function of the appendix in humans? Serves no apparent function in people that they know of
18.Where does digestion begin? inside the mouth
19.What is gastric juice made of? Hydrochloric acid, and enzymes
20.Where are enzymes released in the small intestine produced? Pancreas
21.What is the function of the following enzymes: amylase, lactase, maltase, sucrase, and lipase?
22.There are two ways that nutrients get into the blood stream. Describe each method. Diffuse across the intestinal membrane and into the blood simply by flowing along the concentration gradient. Other substances must be forced through the membrane against a gradient, since their concentration in the blood is already greater than it is in the intestinal lumen.

reproductive voc
1. corpus luteum: a yellowish mass of progesterone-secreting endocrine tissue that forms immediately after ovulation from the ruptured graafian follicle in the mammalian ovary
2. epididymisa system of ductules emerging posteriorly from the testis that holds sperm during maturation and that forms a tangled mass before uniting into a single coiled duct which is continuous with the vas deferens
3. gonad: a reproductive gland (as an ovary or testis) that produces gametes
4. meiosis: the presentation of a thing with underemphasis especially in order to achieve a greater effect
5. oocyte: an egg before maturation
6. ovary: one of the typically paired essential female reproductive organs that produce eggs and in vertebrates female sex hormones
7. placenta: the vascular organ in mammals except monotremes and marsupials that unites the fetus to the maternal uterus and mediates its metabolic exchanges through a more or less intimate association of uterine mucosal with chorionic and usually allantoic tissues
8. scrotum: the external pouch that in most mammals contains the testes
9. seminiferous tubule: any of the coiled threadlike tubules that make up the bulk of the testis and are lined with a layer of epithelial cells from which the spermatozoa are produced
10. testis: a typically paired male reproductive gland that produces sperm and secretes testosterone and that in most mammals is contained within the scrotum at sexual maturity
11. vulva: the external parts of the female genital organs
12. blastocyst: the modified blastula of a placental mammal having an outer layer composed of the trophoblast
13. embryo:a vertebrate at any stage of development prior to birth or hatching

15. implantation: the process of attachment of the early embryo to the maternal uterine wall
16. lactation: to secrete milk
17. umbilical cord: a cord arising from the navel that connects the fetus with the placenta and through which respiratory gases, nutrients, and wastes pass
18. yolk sac: a membranous sac of most vertebrates that encloses the yolk, is attached in most forms (as in humans) through the yolk stalk with the intestinal cavity of the embryo,
19. zygote: a cell formed by the union of two gametes; broadly : the developing individual produced from such a cell
20. ultrasound: vibrations of the same physical nature as sound but with frequencies above the range of human hearing

Activity
It explains how you get sicknesses that you already have when you already had it. Like One example is that a lot of the time with the flu it isn’t the same as the flu you got before. That it is slightly different even though it feels the same. Another is that the bacteria can mutate so that it is resilient against stuff that kills it.
The article I thought was really informative because it explains a lot of things that weren’t known to me. It did a lot of in depth speaking about the four different reasons why you would get sick again from the same illness when your body is suppose to have a immunity to things that you already had.
In Japan they give out a lot of drugs for virus and diseases but not everyone is using them responsively. So the virus are building up a immunity to the drugs they survived. They found that certain flu virus that are less common are showing up to be more resilient to the current vaccines. So they have to come out with new drugs to fight them more effectively.
I think that they shouldn’t be giving out the drugs so much because it is bad for people to be so dependent on the drugs that the effectiveness goes down. On top of this they aren’t taking all of them so that the virus isn’t be totally killed. So the viruses are getting harder to kill.
In Alaska there are a lot of wolves. On top of that a lot of the villages are isolated so it’s easy to be attacked and hard to get treatment. In Alaska rabies is very rare but when it does accrue it can be very problematic. Since rabies is a fatal virus and can’t be cured unless caught in the first stages. So what the people in Anchorage have to do is kill any dogs that are attacked by the wolves and kill any stray dogs.
It is a very serious treat to everyone around the wolves due to the fact that rabies is so dangerous because it takes so long to find out if an animal that attacked you had rabies if not caught. You also have to take multiple shots to prevent getting rabies, which takes up to a couple of months to finish. Which is why its such a big deal to the people in Anchorage.
