         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; To give you some background information, this activity was about two young men who swam into the ocean on the Oregon Coast and got washed near the rocks. A pilot named Matt and his crew ended up recusing the boys with a helicopter. By using their senses, Matt and his crew were able to rescue the boys with the problems. Its amazing how our bodies work.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; Every square inch of our body has about six hundred touch senses. Our bodies are full of devices! If we dig a little deeper, we will find fat nerves. The fat nerve is what separates the nerves from other nerves, causes no collision of the nerves or information mix ups. Nerves are very precise and are very important to our body. In a friction of a second, the nerves are able to travel from our toes all the way to our brain.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; The pilot, Matt, has to keep track of speed, watch all around him, fly the helicopter and watch his crew on the ground giving him direction to the boys in need of help. He needed all sensors on board in order to rescue these boys. "It is very nerve racking." Four thousand nerves directed his hands while he lowered his rescue swimmer down to the rocks. While a million other nerves were sending him messages.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; In chapter 4, it talks about sensation and perception, sensation meaning touch/feeling and perception meaning vision. In order for Matt to get the helicopter near the boys, he had to use his vision and sensors in his body. Matt had to be able to make small adjustments while paying attention to what was going on.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Its amazing how our body works, and I think some of us do not realize what we put our body through and how we do not take care of it sometimes. We are unique human beings! Our bodies are structured to do miraculous things such as rescuing some boys in a high tide, rock crashing ocean.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; The body is filled with a numerous amounts of touch senses, our hands have about hundred times more touch senses than the back of our legs. We touch a lot more with our hands than our legs, this is why we are continuously washing our hands verses our legs.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Our body also has heat sensors! For example, our touch, hands and even our elbows have heat sensors for our brain to determine what is hot and what is not. The body is also filled with nerves. Nerves and sensors work together as far as sending messages to the brain and helping the brain detect danger.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; This video used an example of a father and daughter stranded in the desert. It tells us their story and how they were rescued and what they went through. Once the body gets to a certain temperature, our sensors signal the brain and our body starts a "cooling down" process. This process is called sweating. The body has over one million sweat glands. When we start getting hot, our blood vessels dilate and sweating is created to cool our skin down.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Humans sweat about two pints a day. The body is 75% straight water, organs have to use some of that water in order for sweat to happen. The video shared a fact, when our bodies get to the point where we are so dehydrated, we start hallucinating. When we get to a point of dehydration, everything starts drying out including our eyes and mouth.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; The body responses to every situation as a life or death scenario. If something goes wrong, our body has to "be on the ball" in order to keep us alive.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; In chapter 4, we are learning so much about the body and how fascinating it really is and how we need to take good care of our bodies. Every inch of the body has a job to do and if it is not done, then we are done. &nbsp;</div>]]></description>
