The Heart that Supports our Life

     The Human Body is made out of many organs that supports our life. Each of the organs have a specific job to do.If one doesn't do it there could be consequences, but there is one organ in our body that it is so important that without it beating......... There is no life!!! That is our "Mysterious Heart"!!!!!!!!!

   The Heart is a myogenic muscular organ found in all living things with a circulatory system. In other words the Heart is a important organ found in your body and without the heart you are dead. The Heart is about the size of your fist and it pumps blood every sec, minute, day, and year. You name it keeps on pumping blood till your last hours. It can beat about 1000 times a day and pump 2,000 gallons of blood.

   As we know the heart pumps blood and it is the reason we live today, but how does it really work? The heart has four main chambers. They are: Right Atrium, Right Ventricle, Left Atrium, and Left Ventricle. On the right side of your heart it is where there is blood that is low in oxygen and waste materials like CO2. On the right side of the heart it is where the blood is rich in oxygen and has vitamins that the body needs. The left side as it pumps the blood is distributed to the rest of the body. When the body is done using it goes back to the right side. The cycle starts over and over again. It is also know as the "Circulatory System"

    There are many diseases, infections, sicknesses in this world, but there two that can risk your life. They are:
Heart Disease and Heart Attack. Hear Disease effects more than 20 million Americans in this country and it is one of the main leading deaths. One main cause of heart attack is food it is mainly known as the "Coronary Disease" A heart attack mainly occurs in a person when the blood is stopped or reduced. It happens when one or more coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle is blocked. This Coronary disease is mainly build up of plaque in our body. In other terms Cholesterol or fat like substances. When the plaque starts to build up it gets thicker and thicker where at the time blood clot takes place. Therefore the heart stops beating and heart attack occurs.

   To keep the heart to beating and to be healthy we have to eat right, exercise, and having no bad habits like drinking alcohol and cigarettes.
