What is the Urinary System?

Do you know what the Urinary System is made of? Well we had to make pieces of writing about the Urinary System. We had to write 3 questions, these are mine: What is Urine made of? Why is Urine yellow? How much pee can the Bladder hold?(these are in paragraph order) So here is my Writing about Urinary Tract System.

The urinary tract system is made up of the bladder, kidneys, ureters and urethra. Urine is mostly water, however it is also made up of things you have eaten, drank, breathed or been exposed to. The colour of your urine, can tell you if everything is normal and healthy. The lighter shade of yellow the better hydrated you are. The amount of Urine your bladder can hold depends on what age and if you are a boy or a girl.

Have you ever wondered what is in your Urine. Your Urine is made up of many different things but 95% of your Urine is water. So the other 5% is made of mainly: Water, Salt, Chemicals, Old Water (from the body), Dead Blood Cells, Urochrome and Pigment. Sometimes when you have eaten or drank too much of something or having a type of food or drink can depend on the color of your pee. Pee is also made up of Urochrome(a type of pigment). Pee can be affected from Coffee and Alcohol.

Have you ever wondered why your pee is yellow, wonder no more.  The color of your pee can also be related to what is in your pee. So if your pee is light yellow it is a good, healthy and hydrated sign yet if it dark to a brownish sort of yellow then that is a bad sign and either means that you are dehydrated or you have had too much medications. If your pee is red that means that you have had too much rhubarb, but if your pee is blue then that means you have had dyes in your food or too much medications. Some foods and illnesses can also affect how your pee turns out. The color of your pee also depends on how much Urochrome is in your pee, also dead blood cells and old water.

Do you know what your bladder is and how much Urine it can hold. Your bladder is basicly the inflatable, hollow, flexible bag that holds pee(inside your body ofcourse). You bladder can hold for every 2-5h can hold minimum  ½ liter but the maximum is 2 liters or 800-2000 mills. So for every 30mins your bladder should be able to hold 2 cups (300-400 mills) for every hour your bladder can hold 4 cups(600-800 mills). So each and every day a healthy bladder should go to the toilet 5-6 times a day.

Conclusion/Summary.

In this paragraph i will be telling you some facts i have not told you through out. Did you know that sometimes when you don’t go toilet your bladder can burst, and that with all the waste in your body before it gets made into Urine the body makes it into energy. Did you know that the Kidneys make you red blood cells, and your kidneys keep your bones strong.

My homework rap about exercise and health.

For homework we had to make a song or rap about the benefits of regular exercise. Some of us got into buddies to work with; I went with Caitlin. Me and Caitlin included health into ours to. Here is our rap. (You have to read it)

Rap for Exercise

Staying fit and healthy can change your life. If you do not exercise you’ll basically die. Just like waving hands around 1,2,3 having people stare at me. Like you or me running around normally. Grapes, Apples, Watermelon, Pears all so delicious and all so nutritious. Lifting weights, easy as pie………………

“Wait pie’s not good for you””oh well at least i won’t die”

because i exercise.

Mountain Dew is yummy is it not but is it healthy not it’s not. Drinking it all the time can make you fat and is that good no it’s not. Drinks like this are only for treats. So drinking water can make your body so so very very healthy. Eating and drinking too much sugar can rot those teeth so very very badly. Eating Avocado’s, Bread, Chicken and Pears can burn that belly, belly fat. When you exercise you can do more like walk your dog or run-a-run around.

Idiom poster

In class we have been learning about the incredible human machine. Because of that we learnt about body idioms. I chose cost an arm and a leg. Here is my poster.

Idiom:Cost an arm and a leg.

By Aleaha

Meaning:

Have you ever heard your mum or your grandma say ‘oh the hair dressers cost an arm and a leg these days’ but you don't know what they mean well thats why im here to help. So you don't know what they mean well they are actually meaning ‘oh the hair dressers are really expensive these days’ because limbs like arms and legs are usually really really expensive to replace.

Origin:

The idiom was invented after WW1 when soldiers lost limbs such as arms and legs and it was a big price to pay for both families and soldiers.

How do you know a website is reliable? How do you know it's true? How do you know that it's easy to read? Well this is my poster of how i know a website is reliable.

Homework

In class we have been set some homework for either 1-2 weeks. Here is some of my homework.

A photo collage:

A mind map:

The Unforgivable War

For the last couple of weeks we have been learning about the great war also known as World War 1. For this we done a poem. Here is my poem.

The Unforgivable War.

Me and the boys we are Exhausted, We are Sleep-less, we are Hungry, we are Hopeless.

Me and the boys we were coming down one by one, We were terribly sick, and our legs are terribly numb.

It was my turn for some sleep marching away from the front line to safety feeling guilty watching men get killed.

Almost there, soldiers waking soldiers up, feeling more and more guilty for all there sleep that they lost.

I'm too tired, too sore, too hungry  it hurts when I go to my gun.

The master is yelling at us ‘ Gas boy's gas’ I don't think any of us can get our masks we are all too sore from the broken bones and cuts in our feet from lost boots. Its torture, none of us even have a boot, we all have trench foot and ripped clothing.

We all scream in pain as we are only grabbing our guns,food and masks from our bags.

“Gas, Gas everyone, Gas Get your masks hurry Gas, Get them now.”

When everyone gets the message the deaf people don’t so they have to guess what is going on. One by one they get the message, One soldier then two  then nine then all but there is always the one  person who loses his life to the thick and flammable gas. He is so pale like paper, he screams and cries while we all watch him die.

Everyone is devastated with another one of us gone.

Through thickening, greenish, flammable gas it's hard to see anyone, even the master.

For months on end it's been basically like  green, deadly and flammable  fog except it gets greener and greener until you can't see.

My mate John running through that thick, now green, flammable gas i know that he won't make it but i am hoping he will.

He drops on the ground i thought he was being dramatic, but he wasn't he was now twitching, screaming crying.

Imagine this your best friend has just breathed in some poisonous gas and they are dying. You are going to have to walk behind the old, rusty, wagon watching them die, Twitching, throwing up, Screaming,crying, ripped clothing, lost boots.

They are as lifeless as it gets I wish i hadn't watched this, i felt sick.

Now he is unconscious but on the uneven ground he is being tossed around.

The gas has shriveled up his lungs and he is throwing mucus and blood up.

Screams and cries cover the whole of the battle field and no man's land “great” i think as people die “more dying people to pick up” “yay” that and John was all i could think about…..wait he stopped moving…...he's gone. I felt sick, mean,helpless.

Me and the boys we came to war thinking ‘it's wonderful to die for your country’ or ‘if i die it's for the good or great of the country’ but experiencing this it will never be forgiving only horrer and a big long nightmare. Will i never hear you mutter in the wind a single good thing about the people in the war only horror and nightmares.
