The right side is made up of the right ventricle and the right atrium. The right side of the heart collects the de-oxygenated blood after it has traveled all over the body. Then the right side of the heart pumps the blood into the lungs then, through the lungs through the pulmonary arteries. The lungs refresh the blood making it oxygen-rich blood this also turns the blood red. After that the oxygen-rich blood enters the left side of the heart which is made up of the left ventricle and the left atrium. This blood is pumped through the aorta and travels all over the body. Repeating the cycle.]]> 2019-02-03 18:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/24jones1/lmp2e35fi4li/wish/327088988 24jones1 https://padlet.com/24jones1/lmp2e35fi4li/wish/327090630 There are four valves that keeps the blood moving the right way. 
-Pulmonary
-Aortic
-Tricuspid
-Mitral
These all work together. Each valve opens one way when being pushed on. Each valve opens and closes once every heart beat.

Systole is when the ventricles from each side of your heart is pushing blood into your vessels going into your lungs and your body. 
-When the heart relaxes it is called diastole. When your ventricles relax it fills up with blood from the atriums on each side of your heart.]]> 2019-02-03 18:54:18 UTC https://padlet.com/24jones1/lmp2e35fi4li/wish/327091240 24jones1 https://padlet.com/24jones1/lmp2e35fi4li/wish/327092176 -Blood vessels called the coronary arties are on the surface of the heart then the blood vessels splits off into smaller vessels called capillaries.
-There is an electrical charge in your heart that starts towards the top of the atriums and there are special passageways where the electrical charge travels through. This electrical charge travels to the ventricles which signals the heart to pump.]]> 2019-02-03 18:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/24jones1/lmp2e35fi4li/wish/327092176 24jones1 https://padlet.com/24jones1/lmp2e35fi4li/wish/329186551 -Arteries begins with the aorta, the large artery leaving the heart. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the rest of the bodies tissue. This branch becomes smaller as they carry blood further away from the heart.
-Veins; the Pulmonary vein transports oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart. The Superior Vena Cava brings blood from the head and arms to the heart. The Inferior Vena Cava brings blood from the abdomen and legs to the heart. Veins become larger to the heart.
-Capillaries are small, thin blood vessels that connect the arteries and the veins. Their thin walls allow oxygen, nutrients, and carbon to the heart.]]> 2019-02-08 13:52:28 UTC https://padlet.com/24jones1/lmp2e35fi4li/wish/329186551 24jones1 https://padlet.com/24jones1/lmp2e35fi4li/wish/331712475 Atria~Two upper chambers (receive blood)
Ventricles~Two lower chambers (discharge blood)
Epicardium~Protective layer mostly made up of connective tissues
Myocardium~The muscles of the heart 
Endocardium~Linda inside of the heart, protects valves and chambers

It pumps oxygenated blood through out the entire body and is the organ that helps us live. It goes to the lungs as well which helps us breathe. So I thought sharing all about the heart would encourage you to take great care of your body. When you do not take care of your body by eating healthy, exercising, and sleeping right the heart can be affected. There are many things that could not work right such as the valves. When the valves don't get their right blood flow then it could effect how the heart beats. ]]> 2019-03-22 13:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/24jones1/lmp2e35fi4li/wish/344188421
