White Blood Cells

Neutrophil -- lifespan of 7 hours -- immune defenses

Eosinophil -- lifespan of 8 to 12 days -- defense against parasites

Basophil -- lifespan of a few hours to a few days -- inflammatory response

Monocytes -- lifespan of 3 days -- immune surveillance

B-lymphocyte -- may live for many years -- antibody production

T-lymphocyte -- may live for many years -- cellular immune response

unexpected side effect to becoming a girl:

growing out my nails gives me a set of natural cutting tools, which allows me to more easily open tough fruits

Back at it again with the organic chem 💕

I just had my midterm, and I think I did alright! However, I definitely am NOT a fan of taking long exams in those small spinny slidey desk thingies on the sides of lecture chairs in a class of 300+ people who choose to walk all the way up to the front of the class and sit RIGHT NEXT TO YOU after walking into to the exam 10 minutes late when there are 50 chairs behind you 😭 and then rubbing shoulders with said person the entire time and then getting up ten times to grab a tissue.

Guys, it was an experience. But, a good one! I really taught me to focus on the task at hand since I couldn’t afford losing time to focus on the distractions around me. ✨

Ok, reverse calculated shit to fight out how much in story Laios weighs b/c we only get height and BMI for every character.

Apparently being a 6'1" male with a BMI of 26 means he would weigh 197lbs if this BMI calculator is correct So def big guy

He is also according to his BMI, overweight. But we all know that BMIs are bullshit and don't take shit like muscles into account.

Just ya know interesting that the, uh, manga that focuses on healthy eating and a good relationship with food uses BMIs for shit.

(well, only interesting if yer completely fucking new to anything involving how health culture can be fatphobic/used as a tool for fatphobia by shit people and also missed a few scenes in the manga that were blatantly fatphobic but if the notes on that post are any indication then yeah fuckers are apparently that clueless)

To be 'clinically obese' Laios would have to weigh at minimum 228 lbs. SO he'd only need to gain 31 lbs. The horror.

*Edit:

Also, that's not a lot of weight.

If I remember right for thinner folks a gain of like 10lbs-ish can have them go up a pant size and yes it is a sight gag but I'll say that Kensuke extra one year post-canon Laios is probably at least 10lbs-20lbs heavier if his armor is that tight on him now

Red Blood Cell Disorders

Hypotonic -- the cells inflate and eventually burst -- too much water is transported into the cell

Isotonic -- the amount of water transported into the cell is equal to the amount of water transported out from the cell -- the “normal” blood cell -- solute concentration inside the cell is equal to the solution outside the cell

Hypertonic -- the cells shrink -- too much water is transported out from the cell -- solute concentration inside the cell is lower

What this Tumblr is About

This Tumblr is basically my brain dump from learning.

I LOVE to learn! Hopefully, you do too!

I love to learn about about nutrition, Biochemistry/chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology, medicine, physiology, and anatomy, for example.

For the sake of this Tumblr, I am going to stick with primarily these topics and not so much languages -- which is my other interest, though those may drop in from time to time. We'll see!

A little about me...

I am a senior nutrition student in the United States. I plan on becoming a registered dietitian and working with those with eating disorders and interests ranging from treatment of eating disorders, nutrition education, research in nutrition intersection with multiple disciplines such as medicine, psychology, religion, sociology, etc, and nutritional biochemistry. I have interests in practice, teaching, and research. I also am an honors student, an ambassador for my major and school, a regular volunteer at my food pantry, and a lover of knowledge. I have 8 cats (YES I SAID EIGHT!!) that were all once strays (I originally had three but found a fourth cat that was malnourished, took her in, nourished her, then she left and came back pregnant after we thought she was fixed, and so that is how I ended up with four extra unexpecteds!!)

I hope you click that follow button and join me on my learning journey!

So like, do people know HOW we know we're perisex?

How about: we got fucking karotyped when we were two so they could figure out if we had Fragile X or if we were just Autistic.

NGL it's not like we haven't thought about digging into that more just to see if they're just lying to us, considering intersex people are often lied to, and because Fragile X-Associated Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (FXPOI) exists too, but we think that would actually send us over the edge, so, like, we aren't gonna. :))

Most people do not have the "luxury" of being karotyped. Intersex is also hormonal variations and chromosomal variations. Shit like that. Not just external stuff like your junk.

(Post inspired by seeing this, like, wow, we did not know this was an issue! Thanks!)
