Blood Cell Monologue
Hello,they call me Blue,cause well I’m a carbon dioxide infused blood cell,isn't everybody?. I was made in the bone marrow along with all my brothers and sisters. Todays my 1st in the heart, and well I guess my first day to be alive really, I’m so excited. The heart would be my first trip well, anywhere really it’s truly amazing wait, unless you count the bone marrow. Did you know? I was only made about 5 seconds ago in your own bone marrow and now I’m headed for you’r heart.
Okay so I’ll admit I’m scared, nervous, and excited you may be thinking that’s a lot of emotions for a little blood cell but really it’s not, we cells have a lot of feelings, emotions, and personalities. I mean it’s my first time in the heart ever if you aren't excited
then you aren’t a blood cell. I’m by a huge vein, maybe It’s not big to you but it carries a lot of us little guys to the heart. But do you know why we go to the heart?to become oxygen rich or red blood cells to oxygenate your body.The cardiovascular system is manly to feed us and get rid of waste from the cells.
Oh my HEART!I’m only seconds away from the heart and here it comes!. WOW! It’s even better than I imagined it,even though it may not look as it did looked like in kindergarten but It still has the same amount of power it did maybe even more. The superior and Inferior Vena-Cava are circle shaped tubes that take in blood.The Superior and Inferior Vena-Cava both take in carbon dioxide blood like me. Then I get moved into the Right Atrium one of two major chambers that only carries carbon dioxide blood, like me.
Then weeee! I get pushed from a valve into the Right Ventricle another carbon dioxide chamber. WOAH! Another valve Amazing, and on to the Pulmonary Artery which is surprisingly the only artery to carry carbon dioxide blood. But then one quick stop to the lungs and look at me I’m a completely different cell a red blood cell. But then of course back into the Pulmonary Vein the opposite of the Pulmonary Artery. Then into the Left Atrium a chamber for all us red blood cells, into another valve (I swear this needs to end). To the Left Ventricle to all red blood cells into 1 last valve (whew!) and into the aorta I go. Ready to be delivered to the rest of the body.
Then eventually in about 11 seconds I’ll be a carbon dioxide cell all over again and back to the heart. It’s a cycle that amazingly works I mean it works harder than any part of the body. I also think it’s fascinating at how much the heart pumps for my human Mia the heart pumps 4.9 liters of blood a day. Well, the heart is an amazing muscle that is still trying to be discovered today. The heart is a strong, powerful muscle full of life that only nature knows the answer to.
