Grossology
Anyone want to celebrate passing Nursing 1 with a little trip?
Grossology
Grossology: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body—a “science in disguise” exhibit that turns the disgusting into the fascinating!
September 30, 2006 – January 7, 2007
DISGUSTING!" "YUCK!" "TOTALLY GROSS!"Slimy, oozy, crusty, stinky secretions like snot, barf, pus, and body odor-what's the cool science behind this "gross" stuff?
Enter Grossology and discover the anatomy, biology, chemistry and physics of why we sneeze, vomit, belch, and even stink.
Hands-on and feet-on activities, giant animatronics, and computer games let visitors explore how the human body fights germs, breaks down food, gets rid of trapped air, removes waste products, and performs other critical functions.
Visitors can:
Enter a giant nostril and get "blown away" by a humongous sneeze!
Perform organ removal in a delicate surgical "operation."
Walk, climb, slide, and crawl through a 3-D model of the human digestive system.
Get a whiff of four body odors, and match them to the body areas they come from.
Clamber up a "human skin" climbing wall with warts, zits, and wounds.
Play pinball, and bounce around foods that give you the most gas.
Shoot "dirt balls" into a giant nose.
Hear how air, vibration, and pressure lead to noisy, bodily surprises.
Take out the "trash" by removing waste elements from the bloodstream.
GROSSOLOGY Exhibit is produced by Advanced Animations LLC. in collaboration with Science World British Columbia.

Question of the week of 10.02.06
A client who is to have antineoplastic chemotherapy tells the nurses of a fear of being sick all the time and indicates a wish to try acupuncture. Which of these beliefs stated by the client would be incorrect about acupuncture?
1. "Some needles go as deep as 3 inches, depending on where they're placed in the body and what the treatment is for. The needles usually are left in for 15 to 30 minutes."
2. "In traditional Chinese medicine, imbalances in the basic energetic flow of life — known as qi or chi — are thought to cause illness."
3. "The flow of life is believed to flow through major pathways called nerve clusters in your body."
4. "By inserting extremely fine needles into some of the over 400 acupuncture points in various combinations it is believed that energy flow will rebalance to allow the body's natural healing mechanisms to take over."
