REAL HEART LIKE BE...... ЁЯСЗ
1. The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood around the body as part of the circulatory or cardiovascular system. It pumps blood through blood vessels to almost 75 trillion cells to provide the body with oxygen and nutrients.
2. Blood that leaves the heart is carried through arteries. The main artery leaving the left ventricle is called the aorta and carries oxygenated blood to all parts of the body. The main artery leaving the right ventricle is called the pulmonary artery which carries deoxygenated (blood without oxygen) to the lungs.
3. The heart weighs about 300g and is about the size of your fist.
4. The average heart beats about 60-100 times per minute, 4,800 times per hour, over 100,000 times a day, and 42 million times a year. During a lifetime it could beat more than 3 billion times.
5. The heart pumps around 280 litres of blood through the body every hour, 7,200 litres in 24 hours, and 2 million litres per year.
6. When resting, it takes 6 seconds for blood to travel from your heart to your lungs and back again, 8 seconds to go to the brain and back, and 16 seconds to go to your toes and back.
When exercising, your heart beats faster to pump more blood and oxygen to your muscles.
7. If you lined all of your blood vessels - arteries, veins, and capillaries - up in a row, they would be over 60,000 miles long.
8. Blood going towards the heart is carried through veins. Oxygen-rich blood comes from the lungs to the left atrium carried through pulmonary veins. Deoxygenated blood from the body is brought into the right atrium through the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava.
9. Blood entering the heart is a purplish-blue because it does not contain oxygen. Blood exiting the heart is red because it contains oxygen.
10. The heart can continue beating even when it’s disconnected from the body. Your heart has its own electrical system that causes your heart to beat, as long as your heart continues to receive oxygen, it will continue to beat.... even if its separated from the rest of your body.
BONUS FACTS:
The first open-heart surgery occurred in 1893. It was performed by Daniel Hale Williams, who was one of the few black cardiologists in the United States at the time.
The first implantable pacemaker was used in 1958. Arne Larsson, who received the pacemaker, lived longer than the surgeon who implanted it. Larsson died at 86 of a disease that was unrelated to his heart.
