Part 2 :do the nervous system challenge. Write three things you learned about how your body is "wired".

 The first thing that  I learned was that everything leads to your brain eventually. Another thing i learned was where the liver, heart, humerus, and etc. all travel from the thoracic to get to you cranial.  Another is that nerve impulses travel to your brain via thoratic section from your spinal cord. Also nerve impulses  stimulate the frontal muscle to contract and makes you raise your eyebrow. Another thing i  learned was then when i was kicking a soccer ball my nerve impulses instruct this muscle to contract and straighten your leg. I think it is interesting how your nerves which are connected to your brain and what makes you move.

Part 1:What are the implications in terms of how you study? In terms of potential careers?

Skin Disease

The disease's name is dyshidrotic eczema. The cause of this pattern of eczema is not fully understood but in some cases there is a history of allergic contact dermatitis especially to nickel. Very often no specific allergen is found despite extensive patch testing. This form of eczema is aggravated by stress. Dyshidrotic eczema appears as intensely itchy blisters on the hands, fingers and soles of the feet. Hand eczema occurs most frequently in persons who frequently have their hands immersed in water, such as food preparers, nurses, or florists. The warm, moist conditions in shoes provide an ideal situation in which foot dermatitis may also flourish. These eruptions often become chronic and can be severe. Chronic hand-and-foot eczema is similar to other forms of dermatitis in appearance. It may have itchy, scaly patches of skin that flake constantly. Or your hands may become red, cracked and painful. In some cases, the rash worsens into weepy bumps. Clearing up your hand eczema depends largely on how you change your day-to-day habits. You need to keep your hand moisturized. Yet, in lotions there is more water there is in a lotion or other moisturizer, the more likely it is to worsen your hand eczema. So-called "cream" moisturizers contain more water than oil. When the water evaporates they have a net drying effect on the skin. (They are called cream moisturizers because they are white in color.) So the very best moisturizer for hand eczema is a greasy one. It has very few ingredients, holds the skin's natural moisture in and provides a protective barrier to keep irritants out. Another way to treat it is by avoid scented lotions & soaps. Always keep your hands dry but moisturized at the same time. There aren't any real treatments for it but i have this disease and i just but double antibiotic and some of my Triamcinolone acetonide for my regular ezema.
