Heart Anatomy

STRUCTURE	FUNCTION	DEOXY/OXY BLOOD
LEFT ATRIUM	-collects oxygen-rich blood coming back from the lungs and forces through the mitral valve and to the left ventricle.	OXY BLOOD
LEFT VENTRICLE	-largest and strongest chamber -it's wall us only half an inch thick but enough force to push blood through aortic valve and into the body	OXY BLOOD
RIGHT ATRIUM	-collects oxygen-poor blood returning from the body and forces it through the tricuspid valve and into right ventricle.	DEOXY BLOOD
RIGHT VENTRICLE	-collects oxygen-poor blood from right atrium and forces it through pulmonary valve and into lungs	DEOXY BLOOD
PULMONARY ARTERY	-carries blood from the heart to lungs to pick up oxygen	DEOXY BLOOD
AORTA	-largest artery -carries oxygen-rich blood from heart to rest of the body	OXY BLOOD
PULMONARY VEINS	-carry oxygen-rich blood from lungs back to the heart	OXY BLOOD
SUPERIOR VENA CAVA	-oxygen-poor blood from upper parts of body returning to the heart through superior vena cava	DEOXY BLOOD
INFERIOR VENA CAVA	-oxygen-poor blood from lower parts of body return to heart through inferior vena cava	DEOXY BLOOD
ATRIOVENTRICULAR VALVES (Mitral & Tricuspid)	mitral: controls blood flow from left atrium to ventricle tricuspid: controles blood flow from right atrium to ventricle	mitral: OXY tricuspid: DEOXY
CHORDAE TENDINAE	-bring right ventricular walls closer together contraction -pull the AV valves open during atriole systole	left: oxy right:deoxy
SEMI LUNAR VALVES (Pulmonary & Aortic)	pulmonary: controls blood flow from right ventricle to pulmonary arteries aortic:controls blood flow from left ventricle to aorta	pulmonary: DEOXY aortic: OXY
SEPTUM - wall of muscle separating atriums and ventricles

CORONARY ARTERIES: The coronary arteries supply blood to its own vascular system called coronary circulation. They supply oxygen-rich blood to the entire heart. These two arteries branch out from the aorta which branch out into smaller blood vessels.  The left coronary artery supplies blood to mostly the left side of the heart whereas the right coronary artery supplies blood to the right side. Although, the left side is the largest chamber and needs to pump blood to the rest of the body, the left coronary artery branches into two arteries - left anterior descending artery and circumflex artery.

Welcome to Human Kinetics Co-op 12 This is Me

I thought it would be a good experience to take coop and good for what I want to do for post secondary. I looked a lot of fun because I had friends in leadership co-op last year, also I really like doing p.e and being fit. My plans for next year is going to UBC and becoming a pharmacist or physiotherapist... it's not for sure yet because I'm still not sure what I want to do yet. I figured that if I might be going into physio, the exercise portion will help me a lot. I love playing soccer but recently I did get a back injury so I'm done playing for now.  I also have to classes online which are French 12 and Physics 12. In the summer, I played a couple tournaments for my old team for soccer and I worked.. a lot. I work at the strawberry hill A&W and I've worked there for 4 months. I am a shift coordinator there which I really love doing. I did get a promotion really quick. My fitness goals are starting to do fitness activity and I hope my back has recovered. I want to build up my fitness/stamina again.  I have a brother in grade 8 and a sister in grade 9. My family is really important to me and they really help me with everything by helping me make my decisions. Im looking forward to this coop.
