Summary:
The muscular system consists of skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle works by pulling on your bones or skeleton, hence the name. The smooth muscles aid in digestion and cardiac muscles allow you heart to beat. Skeletal muscles work voluntarily while the others don't. Your muscle fibers work together to allow your body to perform all actions needed. The cardiovascular system transports food and oxygen throughout your body. In addition, it gets rid of waste through the blood. The circulatory system is powered by the heart and covers your entire body. Blood vessels carry blood to the heart and veins carry blood away from the heart. The nervous system controls thinking, moving, hearing and more. It uses information from yourself and the world around you to command your body and tell it what to do. This system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The nervous system can perform functions without you having to think such as your heart beating. The respiratory system takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. In this system the lungs are the main organ, but there are others that act as passageways for the oxygen to pass through. Muscles in you chest support the respiratory system and help move the air through your body.

S&EP-Using Models:
This week we designed a super villain that would quarrel with our superhero. Our task was to create a super villain that had a normal mode and a nefarious mode. As well as that, we had to pick four different body systems to study. We had to draw and write about these systems in their normal and villainous state's. I used a strategy when drawing all these images out which was doing it at around the same time. This was to help me make sure that they matched, made sense together, and that in the nefarious mode if I changed a system it worked with the drawing of my villain. This process actually worked very well for me and was not only efficient, but gave me a better end result than I thought. And doing the drawings before the writing allowed me to visualize what I was going to write. All in all the models and drawings of my super villain and his body systems led me to create a better product.

XXC-System And System Models:
As mentioned above, we were give the assignment of redesigning or recreating body systems for our super villains while they are in a nefarious of evil state. For example, I enhanced the quality of the circulatory system by having the veins and blood vessels intertwine and giving them support with muscle. This muscle would move the blood faster and help the heart pump more quickly. Redesigning the system in this way allowed my super villain to fight longer, keep up with the super hero, and work alongside his strong muscles. Also, I changed the muscular system in a way that when morphing from the normal mode to the evil state his muscular cells began to regenerate rapidly giving him super strength. This not only lets him keep up with the superhero, but may even give him an advantage. In addition to that, I recreated the nervous system. This wasn't necessarily in a positive way, but it followed along the story line and helped him be a better villain. I made it so that the prefrontal cortex and temporal lobe shrink erasing his memories of being a super villain and allowing him to have no conscience while in his nefarious mode. Lastly, I changed the respiratory system enlarging his lungs and airways that lead to them so that he has enough oxygen to stay alive while fighting. Even if this system fail, there are cups along his system that holds oxygen and can continue to keep him alive for a little while. Changing these systems made them better in a way, but allowed me to see how they work.

This week I was a mutant, to be more specific a wanderer because I found various pieces of information to use on the work for my villain and shared it with my .
