- RH disease- Summary: The mother must be RH negative and the baby must be rH positive. The first baby will most likely be okay (no matter if it is negative or positive) while the second newborn will be at risk to be killed by the mom's blood which is now sensitized to the RH antigen (now carries the anti-D or anti-CE anaa-and crosses the placenta here another newborn could probably get killed somehow.
- The Rh blood group system consists of 50 defined blood group antigens, among which the five antigens D, C, c, E, and e are the most important. The commonly used terms Rh factor, Rh positive and Rh negative refer to the D antigen only which is expressed on one of the two Rhesus proteins. The other protein is CE.
- The Rh blood group system (the second most important blood group system behind the ABO system). If not given proper
- There are 29 blood group systems
- hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn, HDN, HDFN, or erythroblastosis fetalis, is an alloimmune condition that develops in a fetus, when the IgG molecules (one of the five main types of antibodies) produced by the mother pass through the placenta. It is the breaking down of the placenta that is actually honored.
- The D antigen, discovered in 1939, was the first Rhesus antigen to be described. D positive patients were termed Rhesus-positive. In 1946, a quantitative variant with a weakly expressed D antigen was discovered and termed “D”. This variant, now called “weak D”, is of clinical and diagnostic importance.
- The two Rhesus proteins, RhD and RhCE, are very similar, differing in only 36 of the 417 amino acids, which they each comprise.
- sAntibodies flow in one direction, starting in the mothers body and going through the placenta.
- Treatment now is Rogan which blocks the mother's antibodies and prevents them from binding.
- In a woman's first pregnancy, this isn’t a problem because it’s usually not until birth when a baby’s blood leaks into the mother’s, which triggers the mom’s body to produce antibodies. Once that happens, in future pregnancies, your antibodies could attack the Rh factor in your baby’s blood as if it’s foreign, destroying the red blood cells and causing anemia, which can result in jaundice, brain damage, and even death. see s
- What can you do? Fortunately, a drug called Rh immune globulin prevents you from becoming Rh-sensitized if it’s possible that your blood has been exposed to the baby’s blood. There’s no harm in getting the Rh immune globulin shot, even if it’s not needed.

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 5
- Anatomical terminology - 9:30
- After this they can do that packet and if they do well on it it will count as their test as explained on the note given to you. This is an opportunity for them to get a good grade using the text book (open book test). And if they aren't able to get done with much of the packet then they will just take the regular test by the end of the week. However they must watch the ten minute video first.
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 1, 2017
- Practice test
THURSDAY AUGUST 31, 2017
* LABORATORY PRESSURE (FAILED)- Why didn't the experiment work?
TUESDAY AUGUST 29, 2017
- Energy flow in ecosystems- 7 min
- do as much of the packet as you can
- if there is time left continue with your reading in this chapter and answering the section review questions
MONDAY AUGUST 28, 2017
- Practice test for chapter 3
- Reading time
FRIDAY AUGUST 25
Section one Concept Check from classzones
THURSDAY AUGUST 24
- Both La Nina and El Nino work together to influence extreme weather conditions. El Nino will bring warmer waters but showers in southern california while La Nina brings colder waters and drought to southern california but showers to the pacific northwest . la nina and el nino video
- The biome of southern california is a mix of desert to the east and mediterranean along the coast.
- Species to populations (a lot of a certain species) to communities (two or more populations living in the same area) to ecosystems (adds in abiotic factors) to biome
WEDNESDAY AUGUST 23
- TEST #1 (chapter two- basic chemistry of the body)
TUESDAY AUGUST 22
- CLASSZONE SELF-QUIZZES SECTIONS 2.4 & 2.5 as practice for tomorrow's test
- Top 10 Amazing people with real superpowers
- 1) kid can draw a whole city below from memory 2) can turn into a magnet 3) ran 50 marathons in 50 days in each a different state 4) and had large muscle to fat ratio 5) learned a language in one week 6) can store electricity within himself and release it at will 7) monkey girl great climber 8) human calculator 9) super sharp samurai with sword can slice through bullets 10) can hold his breath for 22 minutes- he stores red blood cells in his spleen to help him with this
MONDAY AUGUST 21
- CLASSZONE SELF-QUIZZES SECTIONS 2.1, 2.2, AND 2.3 for practice for upcoming test Wednesday
FRIDAY AUGUST 18
- CRASH COURSE BIOLOGY #2
THURSDAY AUGUST 17
- Free anatomy quiz
- Rice consciousness experiment by Dr. Emoto- 4 min
- Rice was cooked and put into two different containers with love label placed on one and hate on another. And love was projected to one while hate to the other and the LOVED one was preserved while the hate started to mold after 3 days.
- Dr. Masaru Emoto's water experiment
- Water has memory- short version of the "The mystery of water. What we know is a drop" 3 minute version instead of 49 minutes
WEDNESDAY AUGUST 16
- Reading chapter 2.1 and doing section review problems on 2.1.
TUESDAY AUGUST 15
- The mystery of water. What we know is a drop- 49min (Water has memory)!
- Water expands as it cools and is the reason why we survived
- drops are placed on a sheet of glass and allowed to dry. This is to make water visible. Each water drop is very unique and beautiful. With the same water held by different people each produced different patterns. Therefore information from the holder was transferred to the water.
- radio
- waves can split water into hydrogen and oxygen for fuel. It can make sea water burn.
- Magnetic fields will effect water.
- If you put a leaf in water then all of the water drops when dried will have the same pattern. If you put a different leaf in water then all the water drops will have another same pattern. If a leaf that was subjected to radiation beforehand was put into water than every single drop of water in which that leaf was placed will display the same pattern which is different than non-radiated pattern from the same leaf.
- In the book "Messages of Water" by Dr. Emoto photographs of water crystals were displayed after being programmed by writing words taped to a bottle containing the water. It showed that water programmed with positive and/or loving words formed much more symmetrical and beautiful crystals than water programmed with angry and/or negative words.
- Brainpop: Water- Salt lowers the freezing point. Hard water has calcium and other metals dissolved in it. It is the universal solvent. Main ingredient of our blood. Covers 70% of our planet's surface.
MONDAY AUGUST 14
- Hand out texts
- Anatomical position with palms facing front
- Superior/Inferior (higher/lower)
- Crash Course Biology Water #2
- covalent bond
- hydrogen bond causes cohesion
- cohesion is the attraction between molecules and water has the highest cohesion of any non-metallic liquid and this causes surface tension
- adhesion is the attraction between two different substances such as water and the glass beaker that it is on
- water is the best solvent there is
- hydrophilic vs hydrophobic
- its solid form floats
- has a high heat capacity (holds on to heat and balances the temperature) hard to heat up and cool down oceans
- COHESIVENESS OF WATER DEMONSTRATION (The water turned upside-down stays in the jar and resists gravity!)
- BLUE WAVE DEMONSTRATION (Two separate layers with the hydrophobic layer colored blue)
- HOMEWORK: We have covered up to 2.2 therefore read 2.2
- Covered: protons have positive charge and along with neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons surround the nucleus and have a negative charges. They are 2000x less massive than protons and neutrons
- When elements have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons they are called isotopes of each other.
