Feb. 13th, 2011 06:31 pmThe Respiratory System
Okay. So every body is trying its hardest, in the face of internal and external stimuli, to maintain homeostasis (equilibrium). All of your systems do their damnedest to contribute to that. Your respiratory system, specifically, contributes to homeostasis by exchanging gases (commonly understood as O2 and C02, but others as well) between the atmospheric air, your blood, and the cells of your body's tissues.
Your respiratory system also helps adjust your body's pH to keep it at its normal, slightly alkaline 7.4. It also contains your olfactory receptors, and excretes small amounts of water and heat. (The heat mechanism is more noticeable in other mammals, such as dogs, whose skin does not assist in modulating their internal temperature: that's why they pant.)
( Long rambly explanation of my study notes below the cut. )

Dec. 3rd, 2005 01:20 pmUpdated to-do list:
-ENGL 210H Final Project. 4000 words. I have an outline for what my 'design style' is going to be, and I have multiple, disparate scenes to try and string together; the problem is, Pat has now suggested a slightly different theme, which is also probably better for a one-shot.
The problem is that the first theme is also a better set-up for the second.
And I have until Monday to figure out which I'm going with and write it.
-CS 100 Assignment. This thing is remarkably fucking impossible. Normally, I take about an hour and a half to complete assignments. This? The first part of the assignment took me three hours. I could just hand it in as-is, but that drops my assignment average from 90% to 80% (and that only if I get perfect marks on everything I've done so far). Which is, of course, unacceptable.
In theory this is due Monday, but I have four grace days.
-Information Design assignments. I will have a week to slam these out after the 210H project, totalling about another 2500 words, while also brushing up on Shakespeare in preparation for my exam on the 14th. It is also a group project.
-Shakespeare exam. Involves indentifying, contextualizing and analyzing quotations (why, God?), and answering some short-answer questions. At least I don't have to do the essay.
-Grammar exam. This will be easy, and I'm not even going to study. Open book whot. Thank you, Professor Jewinski, you are the best.
-CS 100 exam. This should also be easy, but it's going to have FileMaker Pro stuff on it, so maybe I'll just shoot myself in the foot.
