The Circulatory System by Kira Griffin https://padlet.com/kira_griffin34/lt98gzgx1dm0 en-us 2019-04-04 20:55:37 UTC 2019-04-05 20:36:52 UTC hello@padlet.com Did you know? kira_griffin34 https://padlet.com/kira_griffin34/lt98gzgx1dm0/wish/348728207 -Your heart beats about 100,000 times per day
-Want to know the size of your heart?  Make a fist and hold it out.  For kids, the heart is about the size of one fist.
-Your heart pumps about 1 million barrels of blood in a lifetime, that’s enough to fill more than three large trucks.
-Because the heart has its own electrical impulse,  it can continue to beat even when separated from the body, as long as it has enough oxygen.
