Digestive System

Mouth
  • This is where we ingest food (eat our food)
  • We do this using our teeth: Canine, Incisors, Molar
  • Canine teeth stab and rip food
  • Incisors cut our food
  • Our molar masticate (grind) the food
  • The Salivary Glands release saliva into our mouth
  • Saliva starts to break down sugars and lubricates the food


  • This is a tube connecting the mouth to the stomach
  • Food is pushed down to the stomach by the action of peristalsis
Stomach
  • The stomach mixes food into a paste. 
  • Some food is torn down in the stomach. 
  • Stomach acid removes bacteria.
Duodenum
  • This is the first part of the Small Intestine
  • More chemicals are joined in from the Pancreas and Gall Bladder
Pancreas

  • This adds a chemical into the duodenum to neutralize the stomach acid
  • The Pancreas also adds more chemicals into the duodenum to break down food. 




Why do we have a mouth?
We have a mouth to ingest our food


What else do we do with our mouth?
We eat and our salivary glands help us break our food down

The Family Of Matariki

My research was about the family of Matariki














Matariki was actually named after the Mother star Matariki.

What I find interesting is that there are actually six sisters and
a mother not seven sisters.

I think my best features in this is my resilience even when
I wanted to give up I still completed my work and my research.

I want maybe a different subject maybe like weaving.


I would Like to thank my Social Studies teacher for the
opportunity to learn something like this it is a great opportunity
to learn about Maori Culture.

What am I wondering: I am wondering if I will use this method later in life

What can I improve on: I can improve on my concentration and focus on my work without getting distracted

Greek Goddess Artemis

I wonder why the Goddess, Artemis swore off men!

Artemis is a Greek Goddess and she has a twin brother called Apollo but we will get to him later.
Artemis helped deliver her brother and became the goddess of childbirth. When Hestia took Artemis to Zeus she demanded a lot of things including being a maiden goddess forever and to live like a hunter.

Why she swore off men is so easy to guess. Her father Zeus was married to Hera, but he was not faithful he had over 10 demigod kids who ended up cursed by his wife, and 7 Olympian god and goddess kids and 1 goddess kid. Any way Artemis swore off men also because of what happened to her aunty Demeter, Demeter was ambushed by both her brothers Poseidon and Zeus. When Artemis heard the story she was less than impressed.

If you go hunting make sure you stay away from the water holes you BOYS and make sure to sacrifice to Artemis! Have a safe and happy hunting!

I wonder why Sharks are "Dangerous"

Why people think sharks are dangerous I don't know.
Sharks are very approachable when in a good mood.
People only assume sharks are evil creatures of the deep sea.
Sharks will only attack when they feel threatened.


The only shark you DO NOT want to come across is a Bull Shark.
Facts on Bull Shark

  • Bull Sharks can live in salt water and tropical water.
  • Bull Shark can attain 25 mph (40.2 km/h).  
  • They are the only breed of shark that will attack without purpose. 
The only shark that will no attack is the nurse Shark unless you physically hurt or harm them. Here is a short video of the Nurse Shark.



Now for the Megalodon! The Megalodon is/was the hugest shark in all of history. They lived in the age of the dinosaurs and after the dinosaurs were extinct they still lived. The Megalodon can/could grow up to 60ft. They feasted on whatever got in there way. Got some leftover lamb you don't want? That's fine put it in the Atlantic/Indian ocean they will eat it no problem. People "Assume" they have seen the Megalodon but I highly doubt it because they live in the very depths of the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean and NEVER come up to the shallow waters! They live that far down that anyone who goes down doesn't come back up as they will freeze to death because that is what it was like in the Prehistoric ages!
