Heat Structures & Functions

STRUCTURE	FUNCTION	DEOXY/OXY BLOOD
LEFT ATRIUM	Receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins and pumps it too the left ventricle.	OXYGENATED
LEFT VENTRICLE	Pumps oxygenated blood through the aortic valve into the aortic arch and to all the tissues.	OXYGENATED
RIGHT ATRIUM	Oxygenated blood enters through the superior and inferior vena cava and pumps into the pulmonary veins and around the lungs.	DE OXYGENATED
RIGHT VENTRICLE	It passes de oxygenated blood up through the pulmonary valve and through the pulmonary artery through the lungs.	DE OXYGENATED
PULMONARY ARTERY	Carries de oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.	DE OXYGENATED
AORTA	It is the largest artery in the body; The heart pumps oxygenated from the left ventricle into the aorta.	OXYGENATED
PULMONARY VEINS	Carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.	OXYGENATED
SUPERIOR VENA CAVA	one of the two main veins bringing  de oxygenated blood from the body to the heart.	DE OXYGENATED
INFERIOR VENA CAVA	The large vein that carries  de oxygenated blood from the lower half of the body into the right atrium of the heart.	DE OXYGENATED
ATRIOVENTRICULAR VALVES (Mitral & Tricuspid)	Mitral: regulates blood flow from the left atrium into the left ventricle. Tricuspid: prevent back flow of blood into the right atrium.	N/A
CHORDAE TENDINAE	cord-like tendons that connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart.	N/A
SEMI LUNAR VALVES (Pulmonary & Aortic)	Prevents back flow of blood from the pulmonary trunk into the right ventricle.	N/A
SEPTUM	It separates the left side of the heart from the right side of the heart.	N/A

Why I Decided To Take The Human Kinetics Co-op

This year I took the Human Kinetics co-op program taught by Ms. Phillips because it intrigued me. Through all the years of high school you get to experience the many different science opportunities, you can go from a simple dissection to creating chemical reactions but never have I came across a science directed towards the fitness of the body and its health. The exercise science class is a way to understand your body to its full potential and how to keep it fit and healthy. I knew right then I had to take it, already being in a co-op once before I love the concept of the class becoming a team, a sort of family, and considering that we are graduating this year its a great opportunity to get to know some classmates you may not have even spoken to before this. Co-op brings everyone together, and gradually watching our bodies and minds progress for the better together is a wonderful experience to have. Co-op gave me confidence and taught me to be comfortable around my peers, I feel like this is a great asset for when I go to post secondary next year. Next year when i go to post secondary my goal is to study medicine or major in sciences. These subjects and areas fascinate my mind and I know that one day I will have a career in this field that will make me happy and successful. For a person no matter who and no matter the size, being fit should be top priority. In my mind a fit person is not someone who goes to the gym everyday or only eats protein bars. A fit person is someone who takes time out of their day to work on their bodies, who eat healthy because it nourishes the body better. A regular day for me may not always be the gym, but I do exercise daily. Sometimes it may be the gym, or I'll go for a jog or take time to do an activity like a sport or yoga. But something I have always done is kyokushin aka karate, kyokushin is full contact karate, with lots of kicks and punches and sparing, its a great workout and always good to know in the long run. Over the summer I did a lot of fitness. Summer is a great time to work out because most summer activities are so good for your body like, biking, swimming, running, or even just going outside. This semester I want to make my body healthier and fitter, I want to keep working at it and never stop, there can never bee too much improvement. I have always felt that you need to be comfortable in your own skin, some people dread themselves because of their body type and until they take a step towards the better side they wont be able to get anywhere, what defines me is my determination, if I set my mind to something i wont stop until i complete it, and that is a promise.
