     The first emperor of China was Quin Shin Han, during his life he made the longest wall of history, the great wall of China.  The great wall                                       of china was nearly 4,000 miles long and was made from clay bricks.  When Mr. Quin died a huge clay army was placed next to Mr. Quin tomb for protection in the after life, this army was latter called the terracotta army.

     A couple years after Mr. Quin died the Quin dynasty fell apart and the Han dynasty began.  This dynasty was when Konfuzi(Confucius) lived.  Mr. Confucius was well known all over China because of his famous quotes and sayings.  For example some were “like threads of silk individually we are so fragile but when woven together we make a powerful tapestry “and” do to others as you would have them do to you.” 

     The Han dynasty was also the beginning of the dark ages where artistic side of your brain was very important.  They built fabulous cities ad thrived.  The Han dynasty invented paper where they could draw on them.  Then in ‘58 the Han dynasty dissolved into the Tang dynasty.

     The Tang dynasty was more involved in making silk and transporting silk than any other dynasty.  They made the trading rate silk road to transport silk from China to other countries.  The silk road started from the capital Xian where the capital soon began turned to Beijing.  The silk road had many different routes.  Sadly in 960 the silk making dynasty broke apart and formed the Song dynasty. 

     The Song dynasty lasted till 1279 where during that time they invented two things gun powder and the magnetic compass.  Marco Polo was one of the first people to wright a story on China.  Marco Polo lived in Vance, Italy and traveled by the silk road and never stopped trying to get to China.  Later that dynasty died out and the Ming dynasty took its place.

     The Ming dynasty started the construction on the forbidden city, where all the higher ups lived.  Then in 1514 Portages finally reached China by boat.  Then still in the Ming dynasty Hong Kong was considered British territory.  Then Hong Kong finally broke free from China and became a Chinese city once again.  

    Later the Ming dynasty was demolished and the Ching dynasty took it’s place.

     There are so many fascinating things about China and it’s dynasty’s why don’t you visit it.

                           The Nervous System is all about giting messages to all the places in your body.With out it your body could not read,wright,spell or be artistic.  Your brain is the most important

 organ in this system. Your brain three main parts to it.  These three parts are called the cerebrum, cerebellum and brain stem.  See picture below for locations of these areas.  This picture was copied from another web site that I found helpful.

WHAT ARE THE MAJOR AREAS OF THE BRAIN WHAT DO THEY DO? Cerebrum Cerebellum Brain Stem w the largest part of the brain   w the outer part is called the cerebral cortex about the size of a pear located at the bottom of the brain, above the neck where it connects the brain to the spinal cord divided into 2 parts called the right and left hemispheres tucked under and behind the cerebrum controls reflexes such as sneezing, swallowing, coughing responsible for: thinking, senses, producing and understanding language, memories, eating, emotions, body temperature, drinking, sleeping, hormones controls muscle movement, balance, coordination responsible for automatic survival functions such as breathing, heartbeat, digestion, and keeping your body alive while you sleep
Â
	The right hemisphere controls the left side of the body, the left hemisphere controls the right side. These two hemispheres are connected by nerves through the corpus callosum.

The spinal cord branches off of the brain and both of them are from the central nervous system. They both work together to keep your body alive and well. They are protected by your skull, rib cage and the vertebrae in your spine. The rest of your nervous system is called the peripheral nervous system and it is all the other nerves that branch off the spinal cord and the brain. Many of you are wondering what peripheral means and it means outside or in other words just branch off.  The autonomic nervous system are the nerves that are responsible for your involuntary muscles like your heart, eyelids, and of course your stomach. Involuntary muscles are your cardiac and smooth muscles you can not control them they are involuntary. If anything from your brain to your spinal cord gets damaged your whole body is damaged. Now you know why the nervous system is so important for you to survive.

             In the 1950-1970’s  Chinas government over the people and every building was falling apart.  In the 1970’s the government alowed free interprize in China.  Free enterprise is making more supplies and using the same amount of people in the US but paying the people less in China. For example, say Sue lived in China and Jordan lived in the US and they both had the same amount of people in their factories but Sue in China wasn’t paying the Chinese people the same amount that Jordan had to pay the US people in his business Sue would make more money because she did not have to pay her factory workers as much as Jordan did in the US. Now Sue is over in China making good money and Jordan over in the US is getting kind of jelous so Jordan moves over to China to also take part of free enterprise.                

                                     Pituitary Gland

                  The Pituitary gland is the master gland.In othor words the Pituitary gland controlls all glands.The Pituitary gland also gives off the Hormone for the Human body groth or HGH for short.The Pituitary Gland is the size of a marble, . .pretty small!!!

                                          Pancreas 

                    The pancreas is very important because it makes enzimes to help break down food in the stomach then turn the food into chime. Anyway the Pancreas also produces insulin wich alows the glucose to move from the blood on to the hungry cells.

                                         Adrenal Glands

                        The Adrenal Glands make a hormone called Adrenaline. This is called a fight or flight hormone. Adrenaline makes your heart beat faster. The reason why your heart beats faster is because the adrenaline releases more food stored in your liver, this often causes more sweating in your sweat glands.

                                               Parathyroid

                           The four parathyroids are behind the thyroid and their purpose helps you keep the right ph in your blood. They are about the size of a pea and the glands release a horomone that helps control the amount of calcium in your blood. Calcium is really important for clotting blood.  Without it you would be bleeding all the time if you got a scratch. If the parathyroids make too much calcium the bones may become very fragile and easy to break. You may be thinking that huh? I thought too much calcium is a good thing? Well you are wrong!

                                                Thyroid

                            The thyroid has a horomone called thyroxine. The thyroxine controls your bodies chemical reactions that happen inside your body, in other words metabolism. The thyroid however is not able to work properly if it does not have an element called iodine. If you do not have iodine the thyroid will get larger and larger.  A thyroid that has grown in size is called a goider. Good thing they are not so common today!
