Summary: There are a lot of flaws with the digestive system. My team and I have found one that is exceptionally bad. We are now on a mission to solve this terrible problem. The problem of acid reflux. I know it terrifying try not to fall out your seat. This terrible phenomenon is when your stomach acids come up and burn the esophagus. Pretty painful right, well it can even get worse. If this happens a lot to you it means you are more likely to get esophagus cancer. Esophagus cancer is in the top ten list of worst cancers. We are now researching deeply to find a new innovative way to fix this catastrophe.
S&EP: This week we asked question and defined problems. We had to ask lots of questions based on our previous understanding of the digestive system. We asked things like, What causes acid reflux?, How common is it? ,What does it do to the body? Of course it became our mission to answer all these questions. Every time we discovered the answer to one question we had many more. The real question that trips everyone up though is how do you fix it? Even my "highly qualified" group and I are having trouble answering this question. The real mission over all is making your questions problem. Then making your problems fixable. Its a difficult task yet the future is now thanks to science!
XCC: This week we worked with Systems and System Models. I hope you know by now that the digestive SYSTEM, is just one of many systems in your body. The real challenge of such a huge systematic order is one change completely off sets it all. When you have systems you need a good balance. You have to fix the problem or problems to the needs of the system yet you cant change it where it will hurt another system. For example if I wanted to prevent choking hazards I cant just say lets close the wind pipe completely, That would make it so we cant breathe. Not such a good idea. When balancing systems and studying them you learn so much about the machine that is the human. A real beautiful thing now isn't it?
