Broken heart

congenital heart defect. In transposition of the great arteries, the two main arteries, the aorta and the pulmonary artery, are reversed. These arteries are responsible for carrying blood away from the heart through the left or right ventricle depending on whether the blood has been oxygenized or not. In a normal heart, there is a constant blood flow pattern in which blood is cycled from the body to the heart, the heart to the lungs, where it is oxygenated, then, from the lungs, back to the…

It’s You Or Me. (It’s probably going to be me.) I entered the first house my heart was racing, my palms were sweating, and I was frantic to get in and out. I had never done this before but I was desperate as if this was the last thing I could do to survive. I yelled out “hello!” No one replied I did a quick look of the downstairs and then slowly and quietly went upstairs all I could hear was my heart beating out of my chest. I was looking for one thing and one thing only and that was gold,…

My heart is banging through my chest. My emotions drilling through the bones in my feet. "Hello darling" says one of the choreographers at the Boston Ballet. But this isn't your everyday dance class instructor. This was Lea Anderson, co-founder of famous ballet companies, over 100 movements choreographed, LEA ANDERSON. "Hello darling" she says in a her thick American accent. My nerves increase, and my head sinks. I realize she's just greeted me, and I haven't even replied. "Hello Lea" I say. I…

Tommy Bachman Williams Biology 31 May 2016 Period 2 The 5 Systems of the Human Body The human body is a fascinating thing. It is made up of 5 key component systems that keep the human body working as efficiently and smoothly as possible. These 5 systems are the respiratory system, circulatory system, reproductive system, nervous system, and the digestive system. The Respiratory System is the system in the human body that allows us breathe properly and efficiently. The system is split into two…

The cardiovascular, respiratory, sensory and endocrine systems play important roles in the functioning of the human body. The cardiovascular system involves the heart, blood and blood vessels, the respiratory system involves organs and structures, which allow the body to breath, the sensory system allows the body to receive external and internal information while the endocrine system involves the glands and secretes hormones throughout the body. The 4 systems to be discussed all work together to…

left ventricle in your heart if you abuse AAS. The left ventricle is responsible for pumping blood to the entire circulatory system in your body and this is why there is a lot of muscle surrounding this ventricle because much force is needed to eject blood from the heart. When you abuse AAS for a prolonged period you will dramatically increase the size of all your working muscles when you work out and one of those muscles that can enlarge helps eject blood from your heart as I just mentioned.…

interesting to me because of the fact that hypertension itself does not display symptoms, however the comorbidity of the disease is what should truly grab people’s attention. Hypertension is known to cause various other illnesses such as diabetes, kidney or heart failure, aneurysms, strokes and vision problems. Ecology…

One, two, three, BREATHE, four, five, six, BREATHE, seven, eight, nine-- I can’t. I can’t. I can’t. Too dark, like an involuntary blindfold that I can’t rip off. I’ve tried--the scratches on my cheeks are there to prove it. My heart races inside my chest, kicking out a tempo in time with the shallow breaths that push themselves out of my chest. One, two, three, BREATHE, four, five, six, BREATHE. Keep it together. Molly’s out there. Ted, too. Oh dear, so is Emily, poor little Emily. My bare…

"Darkness can not drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that," Martin Luther King. It is no secret that the two strongest emotions are love and hate. Each of these emotions have the ability to drive people to do questionable things. For years, millions of people have been attracted to the idea that hate is the strongest feeling there is. While it is an extremely powerful feeling, it is not the strongest. That title belongs to love for a number…

CARDIOVASCULAR HEART RATE ANTICIPATORY RESPONSE: There are nerves which directly supply our heart and also chemicals which our blood rapidly alter our heart rate, this main reasons nutrients and also extra oxygen to the working muscles before a race. When the body start to anticipate the physical exercise which is about to happen the body will prepare for it by increasing the heart rate slightly. ACTIVITY RESPONSE: The start of exercise, there…
