Momment In Time

(Inhale,Exhale) All zipped up, ready. Inches away feeling like I'm going to fall. Rocks crumbling, falling a seemingly endless cliff. I heard the slight echo of of rocks smashng against the ground. This is the most intense experience I've ever been in. I feel like if I fall I'll be falling down a endless abyss. "3,2,1"

Takeoff. I found myself soaring through the daylight. With the wind vigorously pulling me back. The only thing keeping me alive was aerodynamics and my speed. One slight failure and then I'm done

Zooming through all the natural features holding onto dear life. The only things I heard was the wind pushing against my ear and my pounding heart as my current fear was immeasurable.

Finally over flat ground, I pulled my parachute and felt the slight drew back. But I was happy this nightmare is over

What Does The Brain Do?

 The Brain, The main organ of the entire body. This organ controls functions such as body movment, thinking, memory and all of our involuntary processes.


MOVMENT

Have you ever wondered how you move your body, well whats causing it is the brain sending signals to a specific body part that you want to move travelling at 70-120 meters per second or 156-270 miles an hour and almost instantaneously allowing you to move.

THINKING/MEMORY

Not only movment but the brain also controls thinking and memories, two functions you need to live a normal life. The memory part f the brain is called the Amygdala, not only does the Amygdala control memorises it also controls emotions such as happiness and sadness. The thinking part of the brain is called the Cerebrum, which also controls decision-making.

INVOLUNTARY FUNCTIONS

The involuntary functions are the functions you do involuntary, hence the name. These functions consist of brathing, swallowing, blood pumping, and heart beating. All these functions are contolled by the brain stem. The brain stem is the stem that connects the brain to the spinal cord therefore allowing our systems such as the digestive system to function.

In conclusion the brain and all its functions are crucial to the survival for humanity and allow humans to thrive.

My Injury

Yesterday I was sadly injured, not just any injury like a sore arm, I was injured by falling of my bike, tearing a ligament and bending my arm bone. I did this by riding to fast and falling of which I then tried to break my fall and ended up injury my wrist and arm majorly (In medical terms this injury is called a FOOSH injury. FOOSH means Fall On Outstreched Hand)

When this injury was inflicted I was unable to sleep the night and thought that it was broken. Once I went to the doctors and got my X-Ray I was informed that I had torn a ligament and had bent the bone in my arm.

It was extremly painful for the first couple of days but as the days past I started healing and feeling better. Although feeling dreadful and sore I still managed to make it through and suffer enough to come out better. What also helped was the McDonalds afterwards.
