Skeletal System -helps you move, support -houses the bone marrow /cells that give rise to blood cells -bone marrow gives rise to blood cells
Skin -Vitamin D -Sweat Glands
Muscular System -helps with movement (facial expressions) -produces heat

What do all living things need?
-water -nutrients (give energy) -constant temperature (at extreme
-respiratory gas (oxygen, CO2) temps proteins get damaged -->"denatured" causing them to
-constant pH (acidity/alkalinity) lose shape/function
-constant atmospheric pressures
What can all living things do?
-reproduce
-grow -increase in size -increase in cell number -increase in complexity/matures-->"differentiation" -acquires specialized functions & new structures
-move (locomotion, muscular, cells, materials,etc.)
-digest
-1st step before metabolism -breaks down, but metabolism breaks even further -takes place inside the digestive tract
**-metabolism-->all chemical reactions that take place in the body -break down (catabolism)/build up (anabolism) -takes place inside the cell
-respiration -using respiratory gases
**-maintain homeostasis-->maintenance of internal constancy -internal environment: fluid around cells-->interstitial fluid -3 parts in homeostatic mechanism (receptor, control center, effector) -receptor: detects change in environment -afferent pathway is signal from receptor to control center -send signal to control center (brain) -efferent pathway is signal from brain to effector -control center makes decision from signal -then sends signal "output" to effector (ex.sweat gland)
Pinnow, Derek Period 1 Islam Islam, is it a religion of war or peace?

Christian groups which teach that Allah is an idol for the moon god. Others mistake the Arabic word Allah as meaning a “moon god” because Islam uses the symbol of the crescent moon. This is a very offensive accusation to Muslims. Allah is the Arabic word for God and is very similar to the Hebrew word El and the Aramaic word Elah. The most fundamental belief in Islam is worshiping the one true God. Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews also use the Arabic word Allah for God, as do all Arabic translations…
Running head: Terrorism and the Media Writing Assignment Unit Four Terrorism and the Media 12/1/14 Vickie Tate, Ph.D. Scott E. Stansberry Kaplan University To say that Islam is inherently violent is rather short-sighted. Unfortunately, the history of Islamic terrorism is mired in policies and disingenuous opportunists.

John Esposito's presentation on "The Future of Islam" was interesting and informative regarding how Muslims are viewed – historically and presently – in American society today. As expected from one of America's leading authorities on Islam, Esposito's presentation was full of accurate historical accounts and data that allowed major questions and issues associated with Islam throughout the 21st century to not only be presented, but answered. He was able to showcase how past and present events have…
Brotherhood is an enemy or an alliance? Islam is a mean of violence or peace? Questions baffled the followers of current scene in Egypt and the official reflection by U.S. We know in politics the past enemy could turn to today friend and the way around. But! How could be part of the Islamic movement is an enemy at some places and friend somewhere else? In the time that both are using violence in the name of religion against their people?

More so…

Al-Qaeda- Acts of Terrorism What is terrorism, you may ask yourself. Most people think it is random acts of violence of one country against another. When really, it is political violence. There are many reasons why there are terrorist attacks, which can be related to many different things, , and in some cases they justify as a holy duty. But a lot of it has to do with whose point of view is being represented. Al-Qaeda feels that their mission is correct but, from our view, they have been terrorizing…
