Daniel's Belated Blog for April 18th/08 3/3


Talked about:

• lymph nodes


• tricuspid and bicuspid valves


• Lub-Dub sounds


• We also wrote the test on the circulatory system and the heart


• we talked about blood typing and how different types are compatable with each other and some are not.

Thoughts & Opinions:

• I felt well prepared for the test and I felt it was pretty easy. We had lots of time to cover the unit and get the right information. I am glad its done though.

Extra Insight

• In search of enlightening material on the web, I managed to stumble across this horrifically disturbing picture of a man with a tumor that started on his lip and eventually consumed his entire face. At first you think this is the most disgusting picture you have ever seen. The second thing you think is why this happened? The lies within the Jehovah’s Witness religion. In this religion, blood tansfusions are taboo. When this man first got his tumor at age 14, a simple blood transfusion would have saved him from his terrifying fate. This is why you lock your front door when Jehovah's Witnesses come knocking.
