The lymphatic system

Lymphatic System functions are:
-Supplementary transport system to channel tissue fluid back to blood circulatory system.
-Major part of immune system-maturation of lymphocytes and in destroying pathogens.

3 main components:
-Lymphatic fluid(lymph)
-Lymphatic vessels
-Lymphatic tissues.

Lymphatic Fluid (Lymph)
-formed by diffusion of tissue fluid into lymphatic capillary.
-components alsmost similar as tissue fluid, but contains fewer plasma proteins and does not contain erythrocytes and platelets.
-Formation of lymphatic fluid:
.Ultrafiltration-fine molecules in blood diffuse out through partially permeable membrane (endothelium) of blood capillaries into extracellular space of body cells.
.Ultrafiltration is aided by difference in hydrostatic pressure and water potentials between blood in capillary and tissue fluid in extracellular space.
.Major portion of tissue fluid is reabsorbed into blood capillaries nearer to venule because water potential and hydrostatic pressure is lower in these areas compared to tissue fluid.
.A small portion of tissue fluid enters lymphatic capillaries through special pores with valves to form lymphatic fluid.
.Lymphatic fluid in lymphatic capillaries flows into lymphatic vessels.
.Fat soluble substances produced by digestion diffuses into lacteal in villi of small intestines before flowing into lymphatic vessels.

Lymphatic Vessels
-Consists of capillaries and ducts.

-Lymphatic Capillaries are:
.Smallest lymphatic vessels found in all tissue except spleen.
.Have closed ends that have pores with valves.
.Capillaries join to form venules which then join to form bigger lymphatic ducts.

-Lymphatic Ducts:
.Same structure as blood veins with valves for unidirectional flow of lymph.
.Flow is aided by contraction of skeletal muscle, peristalsis and pulse.
.Biggest lymphatic ducts are thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct which empties its content into subclavian veins.

Lymphatic Tissue
1.Spleen
-Largest lymphoid organ.
-Functions:
.Produces Red Blood Cells-foetal stage and few years after birth.
.Removes worn out white blood cells and platelets.
.Contain lymphocytes-filters blood to remove bacteria and antigens.
.Stores blood when required.

2.Thymus Gland
-Enlarages during childhood, shrinks after puberty.
-Functions:
.Activates T lymphocytes-lymphocytes originating from stem cells-matures, differentiates and functions after passing through thymus gland.
.Produces Hormones-causes T cells to mature by forming specific receptors. (TCR)
.T cells secretes lumphokine-helps in cell mediated response.

3.Lymph Nodes
-Bean Shaped and located at specific parts of body such as groins, armpits, beneath lower jaws.
-Functions:
.Location where antigens are presented to immune system.
.Location for activated B lymphocytes division to form plasma and memory cells.
.Lymphocytes and macropahges-filter pathogens and antigens.

Entered the last phase

Reminder:

Left 100 days.

Plan a proper study schedule and follow it.
Let's start preparing for the final battle now.

And also, remember to take good care of your body.

All the Best! Everyone the Best!

Teaching Experience

I think next time maybe I will be a teacher. lol..

I taught in my primary school for 3 days after my NS.
The headmaster called me up and asked me to help out for that 3 days cause they really got no enough teacher. So I went, that was my 1st time experience of becoming a teacher.

I actually taught home tuition during my lower 6 time, for 2 months, SPM math and add math, one to one.
That guy is one of my church member, he slacked for the whole form 4 and form 5 and during the last 2 months before SPM only start to scare and asked me for help.
I actually compact 2 years of form 4 and form 5 add math and math to teach him during that 2 months.
Some more he's not rajin, don't really do my homework.
At last he got 3B for his add math and an A (forgot 1 or 2 edi) for his math.

Indeed, SPM is really easy! I mean as in easy to score..
Form 4 and form 5 exam no matter how hard also I am able to do it, I mean simply write also can get some mark or simply tembak also easy kena.
But form 6 is totally different. Don't know means don't know. Tembak also 99% wrong.
I never feel that kind of ''helplessness'' in exam before that. And that always occur during form 6.
I never know what is a saturated mind mean till after I entered form 6.

Ok, let's get back to my teaching experience.
I was quite suffer during that 2 months, cause I didn't enjoy teaching him.
After he pula his mom ask me teach his brother, also the same species as him, I straight reject.
Till 2 weeks ago still call to my house and ask me to teach for the last 2 month for her son PMR. Before she even open her mouth I said no edi...haha!

Now, I am teaching tuition in a tuition centre.
Prepare the students for their UPSR Science.
I tell you, std 4, 5, 6 science are not easy!
Before that I thought that the job will be a piece of cake but mana tahu is much more harder than what I imagined.
Nevertheless, I enjoy teaching the students la..

The 1st hour I teach the '1st class' and the 2nd hour teach the '2nd class'.
Don't know why I feel like so unfair for the '2nd class' student, is like they are being categorized as 2nd class people, not good in their result, and don't listen to teacher, very naughty...bla bla bla
But you know, I actually have a better impression for the 2nd class students than the 1st class students, the 2nd class students listen to me when I talk nicely to them, and I can see that some of them actually respect me, and the feeling is very true, they didn't hide themselves.
Yea, 1st class student you don't need to talk to them they also will do better, but I feel that they are like lacking of something, lack of the 'true self' of them.

Anyway, I actually enjoy teaching them, the teacher say need rotan to scare them off.
Even Wei Lun also said that next time you will understand the 'important of rotan'.
But till now I also didn't see the need for me to use rotan in the class, I don't want to bring the 'scary weapon' in class.
And so far, so good.
I joke with them while teaching, and also keep asking whether they understand or not.
When they exceed the limit, I will 'talk' to them and they will automatically quiet themselves down.
I enjoy teaching them.

And I have one more student now, that's Sherlyn Wong. Haha.
I had tutor her for 3 classes edi.
And she's doing good.
While teaching her I am actually also learning and doing revision myself, a win-win condition.
And what makes her different from other students is that she likes homework..haha..
Keep asking me for more homework so that she can do it and let me to mark.
That's a good attitude. hah~

I actually planned to open a class to teach Chinese since last year since I am the president of Chinese Society+ ACS got no POL class+ this year member have a lot of banana, to be more specific, half banana. haha~
But due to several problems, it just remained as a plan.
Actually I really hope that the class can be successfully opened, but I know that now is too late edi..
If I were given 1 more year, I'll definitely make this plan into a reality.
That is if...lol...

Yea, actually till now I also don't know what I want to do next time.
Maybe I will be a teacher..if I really got nothing to do + really don't know what to do + other factor la..

But at this time, 'teacher' is not in my list..........yet.

Ish!

Ish! Ish! Ish! Ish! Ish! Ish! Ish! Ish! Ish! Ish! Ish! Ish! Ish! Ish! Ish! Ish!

What's Wrong with me???

Wrong post

I have posted something which I shouldn't write in my previous post.

Can ask me personally if u want to know the reason.

Last time I don't really understand the highlighted part(with * de), cause the 1st 2 line are like not related to the last 2 lines, but now I think I understand what does it meant.

Enjoy!

Sorry..

Sorry if I had done any mistake without me realizing to any of you. I never meant to hurt anyone. In fact, I seldom open my mouth cause I scare that I'll say something wrong.
Hope that you can forgive me cause I appreciate you as a friend of mine.

Learn How to Appreciate

We always take things for granted, everyone of us, including me.
Human are forgetful, they tend to forget things around them, especially people that always care and worry for them.
I am not excluded from the list. I don't know how to appreciate.

But, this 2 days, 2 people reminded me of the value of appreciation.
One of them is Kean Peng.
He told me that he started to appreciate what he had now, especially friends around him, due to some reasons.
And I was happy for him that he had learnt how to appreciate, but I forgot to look through myself.
I forgot to ask myself whether I know how to appreciate or not.

Another person is the speaker of this morning sermon.
His sermon really had inspired me and taught me deeply the value of appreciation, especially people around you, your family, your friends, where we always take their existence for granted.

I don't know how to elaborate further, I have lot to say but I don't know how to write them down in words.
As long as, Appreciation is a 'value' and 'skill' where we must learn throughout our whole life.

Be grateful of what you have and what you don't have.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let me add something more to my previous post.

An interesting story happened to Kean Peng during the yesterday Qing Gong Yan.
I told him that I will blog about this but I forgot le..

Before that, let me introduce the character of this story 1st.
A girl, you can call her as 'puppy girl', she is one of the organizing committee of the Jiao Liu Hui.
During the preparation process, I guess nothing happened.
So, let me fast forward to the day of Jiao Liu Hui, that's somewhere around March.
On that day, Kean Peng used his 'eat grass' skill and attracted a lot of girl to be interested in him.
Ask him personally if you want to know what is 'eat grass' skill.

Ok, the other girl not important, let's get back to the puppy girl.
1st of all, how does the name of puppy girl came about
During one of the (boring) ceramah in the jiao liu hui, she sit in front of us, and I think Kean Peng was too boring and he told me, I am sure that the girl in front like dog.
I was like, look at him and wonder why he was so sure that the girl like dog, he said that he got psychology skill and can see through people and bla bla bla...What I think is that he was crapping~
At last we called and asked her and surprisingly she really like dog.
And later don't know how, as long as she became the 'puppy girl'.

After the Jiao Liu Ying, I think they still got contact each other, and after 4 months, finally they held Qing Gong Yan, and as what I wrote in my previous post, we went to V-Garden and had our lunch.
And during the lunch we found out and we confirmed that the puppy girl likes Kean Peng!!!
Through her words and action...and also her 38 friend.
Haha..I was laughing in my heart and Kean Peng was shy and don't know how to react.

After the lunch and when only left me and kean peng only I laugh my heart out and kean peng was like...hmm.....don't know how to say..funny reaction....

I laugh is not because the girl that like him, is their reaction are funny.

Yea, that's all about Kean Peng, blog a lot bout him today.

I have more thing to say but I am lazy to continue le...maybe next time...

Vocabulary:
Jiao Liu Hui/Ying- Inter-School Chinese Society Gathering.
Qing Gong Yan-hmm..a gather to celebrate the successful of an event, I think malay is called Majlis Kejayaan.

Another week

This blog is like becoming my weekly diary edi...swt...
Always like got nothing to write...or don't know what to write..

Monday Tuesday Wednesday don't know do what.
Oh ya, Wednesday I had the same Chemistry lesson again as last week Thursday lesson.
Don't know that the Thurs class is faster 1 lesson than the Wed class.
But nvm la, uaually I'll totally forget what I've learned in tuition, but I think this(Acid-Base titration curve) I can remember till STPM, maybe I should go for both Wed and Thurs class every week, then Chem sure A!
haha..Ok, that was a joke.. Chemistry is hard for me....hate it...lol....

Thurs I went to teach tuition again...
Yea, I will teach till the end of August, cause they are lack of teacher..
Good also , can earn some income~~ ^^
I am teaching std 6 science, prepare them for UPSR.
I thought can relax and teach but mana tau Std 6 science is NOT Easy!
Hate the physic part of it.. and some part regarding plant..

I didn't tell Wei Lun that I am going to teach there, and he didn't even notice me when he enter the (small) office, what a friend! haha~
After tuition drag me to so far to eat supper and somemore let me eat 'pig ear'... yucks! so disgusting...If I know that is the ear of pig I wont even touch it, but now it is in my stomach, no, maybe in part of my body after it is being digested and assimilated...><

Friday, Bio class suddenly cancel.
So, I was at home that night and joined the cell group after so looong time didnt join them.

Today morning went to Hokkien Association for the Jiao Liu Ying de Qing Gong Yan.
Kean Peng came and fetch me.
The Jiao Liu Ying at March but now only have Qing Gong Yan.
Not many people went, we went to Restoran V-Garden to have our lunch.
They plan to organize another Jiao Liu Ying next year during March, the planing will start at the end of this year, and we must go back as a 'senior' to help them after our STPM...lol...feel so lazy...esp need to organize one more time the thing...

Later didn't go back, Kean Peng went to pick Sherlyn up and we had lunch again. No la, only Sherlyn had her lunch. And later we went to lepak at Bukit Raja JJ.
So long never go there after the Bukit Tinggi de opened..loiter around Popular and MPH..haha...love book shop..
If i got money, I would have buy many books, but the problem is I don't have money..swt...


Ok, I know that I really need to start studying edi, slack too looooooong le....
I think, this week will be the end of my slacking week, will start my Journey to STPM from next week onward..
I have lost the momentum to study since the starting of this year...And now I need to 'regain' it....Hopefully I really can do it...

Not only me, YOU too!

All the Best! Let's Jia You together!
