When you do a lot of exercise your heart pumps faster to give the oxygen that your body needs because when you do a lot of exercise your body needs way more oxygen and blood vessels traveling around faster.

Your heart needs electrical impulses to inform the heart muscle when to contract and relax in order to continue pumping often. The sino-atrial node, your heart's primary pacemaker, is located in the right atrium, which is where the electrical signal begins. The atria constrict as a result of this signal.

Blood may not reach the rest of the body adequately if the heart beats too quickly. The organs and tissues may not receive enough oxygen as a result. T achycardia generally can result in significant complications.

Experts say that your heart is like a pump in one or two pumps. It pumps the amount of blood your body needs, blood gives the body the amount of oxygen and nutrients that it needs.

Are their certain foods that you can eat to make your heart healthier?

# data[].attributes.body
Foods to boost your circulatory system are Fish high in omega-3 fatty acids (salmon, tuna, and trout) Lean meats such as 95% lean ground beef or pork tenderloin or skinless chicken or turkey. Eggs. Nuts, seeds, and soy products (tofu) but as a warning its not good to eat too much of anything everyday.

The circulatory system is a good example of how body systems interact with each other. Your heart pumps blood through a complex network of blood vessels. When your blood circulates through your digestive system, for example, it picks up nutrients your body absorbed from your last meal.https://reverehealth.com/live-better/how-body-systems-connected/

# data[].attributes.body
The mechanism in your body that circulates blood and nutrients throughout your body is called the circulatory system. There are two circuits in the circulatory system: the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit. To make oxygenated blood, the pulmonary circuit transports deoxygenated blood to the lungs. The systemic circuit is the circuit that sends blood with oxygen to the heart and subsequently circulates it throughout the body. Hemoglobin, the major protein in red blood cells, is the vehicle on which oxygen moves throughout the body. Hemoglobins are like school buses on which oxygen can board and get off at the right locations throughout the body.

How are human red blood cells adapted to their function?

# data[].attributes.body
The Red blood cells are adapted for the transport of oxygen. They are small and flexible so they can fit to narrow vessels .have a certain shape which makes bigger their surface area to gain  oxygen also have a thin membrane so gases easily diffuse through and contain haemoglobin that binds to oxygen.

Our hearts beat because that is the process of our heart contracting in then puming the blood out the other way. And that is why we feel like our heart is beating when it is really just contracting.

The heart is called a pump since the heart's job is the pump blood through the body and that's what the heart does. It's called a pump because that's what it does.

Classroom and corridor
1. Nabil will intro the circulatory system - heart being the major organ, lungs, veins and arteries - take blood all around the body. Use |Asad as a model.
Lucia - How do we take care of our circulatory system?
Amaara - why we need to take care of the circulatory system.
Nabil - Stop and check your pusle (carotid or brachial). Count for 10 seconds and multiply by 6. (timer)
Asad - That is your resting heart rate.
Lucia - explain why the pulse rate changes.

Intro 2 group activities
Nabil and Asad - First everyone is going to be inside the classroom.
Nabil will point to different parts of the body eg. where the heart goes and audience will move to the yes area if they agree or the no area if they disagree.
Take the group on a "power walk" around the floor (follow the leader). Nabil and Asad will explain why regular physical actvity is good for the circulatory system.

Lucia and Amaara -
Organise partners. Check resting pulse. Exercise for one min (going up and down steps). Check pulse after the activity,  and then 1 - 2 mins later. Explain why a lower pulse rate normally means a person is fairly fit and healthy.

Change groups and repeat activity.
