What has surprised or interested you so far in Dead Men Do Tell Tales?

I've been very interested in the way he lives and his work. Oh! and the stories he tells us. Like for explain the world war II skulls and how fast a body decomposes in the ground and outside of the ground. Also I really liked the first chapter about his adventure in Africa. Honestly i thought this book would be really boring but it isn't at all. I've actually learned quiet a bit from it and it's just a story of his life and what he learned throughout it.

Bone Formations

Bone formation, also called ossification, process by which new bone is produced. Ossification begins about the third month of fetal life in humans and is completed by late adolescence. The process takes two general forms, one for compact bone, which makes up roughly 80 percent of the skeleton, and the other for cancellous bone, including parts of the skull, the shoulder blades, and the ends of the long bones.

There is a rapid formation of bone mass in the fetus and infant. This slows somewhat during childhood until age 11 in females and a year or so later in boys. During the growth spurt that accompanies adolescence, tremendous bone formation occurs. The vast majority of adult levels of bone mass are achieved by age 18 or so, with only a small amount added until about 28 years old.

There are a number of hormones that are important to this rapid formation of bone during the first two decades of life. These hormones include, estrogen in females, testosterone in males, growth hormone, and some other minor hormones.

These were only a few words that stuck out to me in Chapter 3. Although there were many more important ones besides these above I chose these words because I also had learned them in Biology.

This tissue disease is eczema. It starts of as dry skin and can lead to dry and itchy skin. Once you start scratching the area opens up and you have an open wound. The wound can still be itchy and that can lead to bleeding of the area. If the area if exposed to long, bacteria can get inside and the area can become infected. There are many creams for eczema but not all of them work for everyone. Some people who have eczema also have asthma and allergies, and according to my dermatologist these three things are connected. Eczema can inflame if you eat something your allergic to or if something that your allergic to touches your skin. There is no cure for eczema, but you can control it

Anatomy&Physiology: How the common cell is the root of multicellular organism diversity?

The common cell is the root of multicellular organism diversity because all vital functions of an organism occurs within cells. Cells contain the hereditary information necessary for regulating cell functions and for transmitting information to the next generation of cells. All cells posses DNA and RNA. Cells maintain balance in your body  and your organs and tissues are made up of cells.

These words are the some of the words I hear the most in class and actually understand what they mean. I hear sagittal, transverse, and frontal the most out of all of the words i choice for my word cloud. Out of all of the systems I am mostly drawn to cardiovascular system and nervous system. Although I put a few other systems it doesn't mean I'm actually interested in those the most, but am interested in how the body works. There are also other words i choice because without them the human body would not be here.
