Cardiovascular disease; How can it be prevented

Eating healthy may prevent heart disease all together!

Healthy eating may save your life!

Continue reading on the subject of how to save the lives of people who suffer from cardiovascular disease I encountered a truth of how doctors hide from their patients that there is a way to tackle cardiovascular disease without having to do a surgery. It's called eating healthy. According to the article on webmd.com doctors tend to tell you that you'll need surgery after surgery to tackle the cardiovascular disease to then tell you to eat healthier. If you just eat healthier from the beginning the surgeries can be avoided as well as the reducing the chance of returning to the hospital in a close future. 

A Cure For Heart Disease? 

Reversing a heart attack: Scientists reprogram scar tissue into working muscle, By Christie Wilcox, April 18, 2012

According to Christie Wilcox article in Discover Magazine there is now a new type of cure for heart disease. Apparently you may heal the scar tissue (heart) by reversing the process of heart attack, and having the muscle once more working properly. The discovery may save life as well as money, and will do this without the need of artificial cells nor heart donors. What is most surprising about the outcome of this experiment is that the heart works just as well as before the attack if not better. I highly recommend you read it.

or

Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.

Did you know that the one to discover, or made up, this organisation of living things, and find a way to use it in a scientific way, was a Swedish, and his name was Carl Nilsson Linnæus more know as Carl Linnaeus.

He used the Class , Order , Family , Genus , Species , and Variety, which we don´t use today.

Scientist today also use something they call Domain to easier divide the new discovered animals or other living things.

Now lets divide the Auriga Butterflyfish into it!

Kingdom:   Animalia

Phylum:  Chordata

Class:  Actinopterygii

Order: Perciformes

Family: Chaetodontidae

Genus: Chaetodon

Species: Auriga



Learning Goals

• EC1. I can describe the main characteristics of living things; They have to be able to reproduces.
• EC2. I can describe the levels of organization in an ecosystem; organism,species, community,population
• EC3. I can explain the roles of autotrophs (producers) and heterotrophs (consumers) in ecosystems; Ex. Autotrophs -> plants, make their own energy from the sun using the photosynthesis. Heterotrops -> mouse (animals), eat other living things.
• EC4. I can distinguish between producers, consumers and decomposers;  producers make their own food/ energy, consumers eats other living things to survive, decomposers eat dead animals and give them back to the earth. 
• EC5. I can distinguish between herbivores, carnivores and omnivores; Herbivores only eat plants / producers, carnivores only eat meat, and omnivores eats both meat and plants. Cow is a herbivore, a cat is a carnivore, and a mouse is a omnivore.
• EC6. I can distinguish and give examples of abiotic and biotic factors in an environment; Abiotic factors are none living things such as temperature and air. Biotic factors are living things such as animals and us.
• EC7. I can compare and contrast different interactions between populations, such as competition, predation, mutualism and parasitism; a competition is when one specie benefits to another expose, a predation is when one specie benefits and the other is not harmed nor benefits,a mutualism is when two species benefits, and parasitism is when one specie benefits and the other one is harmed.
• EC8. I can draw the carbon and water cycle and label its parts and processes.

• EC9. I can explain how the following words are connected: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species; they are how scientist decide what kind of animal it is and how they keep order of all different animals. ex the family for the Auriga butterflyfish is Chaetodontidae.
• EC10. I can outline the binomial system of nomenclature; it's the scientific name Ex. Chaetodon auriga                                                                                     --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• EC11. I can construct a food web containing at least 10 organisms and label the trophic level of each organism, as well as their roles in the web.

producers,consumers->primary consumers = herbivore, secondary consumers = omnivore or carnivore, and so dose the rest of the consumers.

• EC12. I can analyze the importance of decomposers for the environment; they bring all living things that now is dead back to the earth.

• EC13. I can explain the importance of photosynthesis to a food chain: it's how we get our energy, because if the plants didn't do it nothing would able to live.
• EC14. I can analyze the energy flow in a food chain: the father away from producer the less energy you get, and the energy goes to the one the arrow point at.
• EC15. I can compare/contrast the energy and matter flow in a food chain: no 
• EC16. I can evaluate the impacts of adding/removing populations to/of a food web: no
• EC17. I can predict the effect of different factors on population size: no
• EC18. I can explain the importance of variation within a population: no
• EC19. I can explain the importance of adaptations in the natural selection process: if one didn't adapt then one couldn't stand a chance against the enviorment, in other words one would die.
• EC20. I can explain why fossils, vestigial and DNA can be used as evidence of evolution: no, but understand.
• EC21. I can predict how climate change can threaten biodiversity: Not really, I understand, but I should probably study it more before predicting about it.

There are many different butterflyfishes although  I choosed the auriga butterflyfish!

or "Chaetodon auriga" that´s it´s called scientifically.

Did you know that according to nationalgeographic.com the "butterflyfish are a common site near coral reefs, which they peck with their protruding snouts searching for polyps, worms, and other small invertebrates."

The auriga butterflyfish has about 113 other species that share the name butterflyfish. It also has a great number of names;

Auriga Butterflyfish   Threadfin Butterflyfish    Threadfin Coralfish  Cross-stripe Butterfly  Whip Butterflyfish

and the scientific name:

Chaetodon auriga

Also the hawaiian names:

La-u ha-u and Ki-ka ka-pu
