The myocardium, commonly referred to as the heart, acts as a pump for transporting blood around the body via a collective system, known as the cardiovascular system. This system has various components; blood vessels; mainly arteries, veins and capillaries. The cardiovascular system has four main functions within the body. Firstly to transport dissolved oxygen, hormones, nutrients, salts, enzymes and urea to cells located around various places within the body, whilst at the same time eliminating any waste products such as carbon dioxide and water. Secondly, to protect the body from infection and blood loss. Thirdly, to distribute heat around the body to enable a healthy temperature of 37oc and finally to aid the body to maintain fluid balance. This ‘human pump’ can be regarded as two pumps. The fist sized organ contains two muscular chambers; the upper chamber; the atrium and the lower; the ventricle. The right side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood from the veins to the lungs for oxygenation, whilst the left side pumps oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body. It is important to note that the two sides are separated by a septum. The blood flows through the heart twice within one cycle, this is known as ‘double circulation’.…
2.I enjoy reading because it's the key to education and I can explore new things in reading a book. Most of the time the reading for school can be boring which sometimes I hate to reader at that moment. To make my relationship with book stronger is to read things that I enjoy to read.…
Envision a world where people refused to read. The world would not be as great of a place. The extensive increase in readers might force this to occur. In “Reading is in Painful Decline” by Stephen L. Carter, the author justifies how the decline is negatively affecting the country. Carter uses a wide variety of rhetoric to persuade the reader that the decline in reading is causing many of the country’s problems.…
Although there is much I can’t recall from my early days of reading, there are some momentous flashbacks. When I was beginning elementary school my parents were very eager to introduce me to doing a great deal of reading, they wanted me to enjoy reading for a while and they succeeded. We lived within walking distance of the public library which allowed us to frequently visit the library to read and check out books. I always remembered the vast shelves of books that seemed like they never had an end. In addition to reading at the library we checked books out to bring home to read, this allowed me to read as much as I wanted to. Correspondent to the amount of reading I did, the more I enjoyed it and improved at reading.…
I have never enjoyed reading. I always felt it was something that was forced. When I am given the choice of which book I want to read it makes reading a positive experience. Reading should be something that people enjoy and look forward to doing. Young adults should be required to read all genres of books but have the option of which book they read from each genre…
Finding one book that intrigued Stephanie enough was all it took to make her an everyday reader. The same goes to me. When in my earlier years I hated reading. There were only two things I hated to do. Those two things were reading, and doing what someone told me to do. Hating a combination of the both you could see how the disposition with reading would subsist. It wasn’t until the summer going into middle school that I changed my ideals on the subject.…
* I have always had a love for reading since I was little. The older Iv gotten the more it has grown as well. I believe reading defines me as a person because I like to believe that I will get to live and experience many different life stories just like the…
The newness of reading had worn off by junior high. My leisure reading had decreased significantly due to sports and increase in textbook reading assignments made by our teachers. The textbook reading assignments changed how I felt about reading. When in elementary school, reading was learning, but what we were reading were nothing more than stories made up by a publishing company. There was usually a lesson learned at the end of the story. Textbooks didn’t have that same story like nature. They were full of facts and what seemed like complex analogies and theories. Reading was not fun anymore.…
Now you’re probably wondering “Did you really hate reading that much?” And the simple answer is yes… but why? When I first started school, I was surprised to learn that I was apparently the funniest kid in the room. It seemed like every time I opened my mouth the other boys smiled and laughed. It was incredible, I kept…
On the first day of class, Dr.Ruiz wrote six questions on the board and the last question asked for our perspective on writing. My answer to this question was “I hate writing.” I’m an English Learner who came to the U.S. 5 years ago with no knowledge in English. Therefore, writing is not a likable assignment due to my lack of English skills and I did not have confidence when I wrote in English because I had a fear of people’s judgment about my English. Therefore, I was not an advanced writer when I enrolled in WRI 001. Nevertheless, I have grown substantially since beginning of the semester as a reader, writer, researcher and thinker.…
- Reading will broaden your views on others and their knowledge, along with increasing your knowledge.…
i enjoy reading some books. i hate long boring books. i like books with a lot of spice and “relations” books because they keep my attention and i can read them all day. Also, I hate writing long papers..I can usually sum up what I have to say with a page or two. In high school is really where i started writing more than one page of what I need to write about. i hated every minute of it but it all helped me in the end.…
As a young adult, I struggled to believe that reading could be enjoyable. My reading levels were behind my classmates and I needed extra help, I was ashamed and loathed reading. My intense desire to have the passion to pick up a book and comprehend its story was fueled…
Writing is a way to express beautiful thoughts through paper; there have been people who are horrible conversationalists but with a pen and paper create a story that has more meaning than any words that left my mouth. Then there’s me. I’m going to just come out and say it I hate writing I absolutely positively hate it. If I had to choose between writing and getting a tooth pulled let’s just say that I would be missing a lot of teeth. The reasons I hate writing are numerous. I can’t just single out one of them and say “This is why I hate writing!” then go on some dramatic rant of an experience I had years ago that led me to hating writing today. There are many things that contribute to this hatred, one being that I absolutely hate explaining myself. I always have since I was a child. Simple questions like “What did you learn in school today?” annoyed the crap out of me, made me feel like I was being interrogated. I love hearing things in detail but having to put things in detail for someone else is a long annoying process to me, which sucks because so much of writing is detail. Right now I’m kind of stuck between majors and I’m realizing that I’m needing writing more and more, there is absolutely no way for me to run from it anymore so I might as well embrace it. By the end of this semester I will choose whether or not I’ll continue being a law major or go with my first choice and study archeology, which has been a dream of mine since I was in fifth grade. Either way writing is going to play a big part in both fields, especially since I want to get my doctorate. I need writing classes because I want to show people how intelligent I am on paper and in person. When I publish a book I want my readers to feel like they were at the dig with me or actually they’re watching me in court.…
This is shown in a young boy named Milo who loved to read, but when he "came home with a thick packet of worksheets along with instructions to complete the work by the following Monday... [Milo] started to dread the work...[because] they were disruptive. They kept him from doing what he wanted to do with his after-school time, which was read, or sometimes play outside, or wrestle around in the living room with his brothers." (Washington Post Paragraph 2) If reading was used possibly for extra credit, there would be more incentive to read and work hard on homework and study with full attention.…
