Follow Your Heart

Introduction: The heart plays a crucial role in the human circulatory system. The large organ pumps the blood through arteries, veins, and capillaries to distribute oxygen and nutrients to the body. The circulatory system also plays a part in removing our waste products. Humans have double circulation, meaning the blood passes through the heart twice before completing one round; this allows for the blood to be “re-pressurized”. Once the right side of the heart receives blood from the body,…

I took in the night air in a large breath, thawing my toes. The minute my eyes adjusted, I could taste the disappointment on my lips, the gloom seeping in my throat.…

would be utterly catastrophic to the smooth workings of the human body. The cardiovascular system could be described as being the life support system of the entire human body. Veins, arteries, capillaries, all carry blood that is being pumped by the heart throughout the body. Oxygenated blood from the lungs travels to the arteries and around the body, and then this blood is carried back through veins to be reoxygenated. Hemoglobin, a vital protein present in blood, binds to oxygen as you…

stream. Oxygen is in larger concentrations in the alveoli thus it moves out of the lungs into the blood stream. Blood coming away from lungs is higher in oxygen which is pumped to the heart into the cells, where respiration takes place. Blood now has higher concentrations of carbon dioxide where it will be pumped to the heart and then diffuses into the alveoli of the lungs from the blood stream where it will be exhaled. Hypoventilation is breathing at an unusually slower rate which increases…
