Blood can be a fertilizer William Harvey 1628 (scientific method) proved everything about circulatory system and predicted

d the presence of capillaries Blood that enters the lungs is dark-colored because it lacks oxygen Your heart weighs pounds Kidney weighs 5 oz Heart statistics: 10 seconds-quart of blood 10 min- gas tank of a car 10 hours-gas truck 10 days-swimming pool 10 years-2 ocean tankers or 8 million gallons Brain cells have priority over blood; muscles are second and digestion is third Brain could rupture if blood pressure is too high Cornel Heinman received Nobel prize for discovering the bearastat, or a pressure governor hormone that can make the heart beat fasterchemical regulations Dr. Carl Clanson from Ohio state university discovered the lubdub You can feel blood spurting in your artery Aorta-main one inch highway that branches out to the heart, brain, and so forth Blood flow slows down as it gets to smaller arteries Veins carry the blood to the heart The words sea water best describe blood Heart beat statistics: Bird-600 times per minute Cat-130 times per minute Man-75 times per minute Elephant-25 times per minute Lub is the closing of the front doors (inventicles)* Dub is the closing of the back doors Sympathetic- speeds up Vagas- slows down The adrenal glands are located above your kidney CO2 makes your blood dark red; O2 makes your blood bright red Our fuel is food Blood is 1% salt 80% sodium 4% calcium 4% potassium 10% magnesium

2% other salts Billions of years ago, life originated from the water Amoeba was the first form of life Hemo used to be the sea 1.5 billion years of life* For hundreds of millions of years life was just cells When cells joined, new animals formed, but all cells had to be touching ocean water The hydra had the first primitive circulatory system it was 2 cells wide Soon the cells began to specialize in different functions 400 million years ago, the first fish formed-cold blooded and 2 chamber heart Frogs heart had 3 chambers because it sometimes stayed on land-cold blooded Land animals had 4-chambered heart and warm-blooded All cells have to be fed and taken care of hemo is the fluid that the body produces all cells are 2 cells away from a capillary capillaries separate arteries and veins capillaries are so thin that red blood cells have to go through single file 50 capillaries are finer than a human hair each blood cell is 1/3000 of an inch wide each capillary is 1/50 of an inch long after the blood goes through the capillaries, it goes to the veins which get larger and lead back to the heart brain valves are always open when digesting food, the muscle capillaries close 1. thinking2. movement 3. digestion for priority over blood a capillary is where hemo does his job we would need a heart thats 10 times bigger for all the capillaries to be open all at once knockout is known as a messed up brain system; blood gets dumped into the stomach and the blood pressure turns really low shock=extreme stress (car accident or burn) 1.5 gallons of hemo transfusion cures shock
