The
Heart
As we all know the heart is the most important
organ in our body. It has several jobs
and functions. I chose the heart to do
my unit paper on because I find the fact that it does so many different
functions al at once extremely interesting, and this is a way for me to learn
more on this organ.
During find research on the heart I found some
facts about the organ that caught my attention.
One of them was, “ a kitchen faucet would have to be turned on all the
ay fro forty-five years to equal the amount of blood pumped by the heart in an
average lifetime.” (36 interesting facts about the human heart.) Another fact is the volume of blood pumped by
the heart can vary over a range from five to thirty liters per minute. Laughter is perfect medicine for the heart.
“A good belly laugh can send 20% more blood flowing through your entire body.
One study found that when people watched a funny movie, their blood flow
increased. That’s why laughter might just be the perfect antidote to stress.”
(Amazing Facts About Heart Health & Heart Disease.)
Just finding fact about the heart was
interesting. It is crazy to think about
how our heart pumps blood to our entire body, and without this one special
organ we would not live. The heart is a
very complex organ and I hope to learn everything I can about it in my
lifetime.
