Biology - Heart Anatomy

-Coronary arteries and veins are the blood vessels that supply blood and carry blood away from the heart muscle. The left coronary arteries supply blood mainly to the left side of the heart and vice versa.  

STRUCTURE	FUNCTION	DEOXY/OXY BLOOD
LEFT ATRIUM	-collects oxygen-rich blood from the lungs then forces through the mitral valve into the left ventricle	OXY
LEFT VENTRICLE	-largest and strongest chamber, wall is only half an inch thick and it pushes blood through aorta valve into the body	OXY
RIGHT ATRIUM	-collects oxygen-poor blood returning coming back from the body and then it forces it through the tricuspid valve then into the right ventricle.	DEOXY
RIGHT VENTRICLE	- collects oxygen-poor blood from the right atrium and then forces it through the pulmonary valve then into the lungs	DEOXY
PULMONARY ARTERY	-carry blood from the heart to the lungs to pick up oxygen	DEOXY
AORTA	- the largest artery carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body	OXY
PULMONARY VEINS	-carry oxygen-rich blood from the lungs back to the heart	OXY
SUPERIOR VENA CAVA	-oxygen-poor blood from the upper body returns to the heart through the superior vena cava	DEOXY
INFERIOR VENA CAVA	-oxygen-poor blood from the upper body returns to the heart through the inferior vena cava	DEOXY
ATRIOVENTRICULAR VALVES (Mitral & Tricuspid)	tricuspid controls blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle and mitral controls flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle	Deoxy/oxy
CHORDAE TENDINAE	- bring right ventricular walls closer together during contraction.  -pull the AV Valves open during atriole systole	Left oxy Right deoxy
SEMI LUNAR VALVES (Pulmonary & Aortic)	-pulmonary valve control blood flow from right ventricle to the pulmonary arteries and aortic valve controls blood from left ventricle to aorta	deoxy/oxy

Weight Room Day

Weight Room


Training Regiment- Consisted of one hour and five minutes of flexibility training. The training program was made by me through a great amount of research and experiments.

(Stretch #1 in this video is never in use, only stretches #2 and #3.


Exercise #4 – Groins
NO VIDEO
Description – bending knees completely, use your arms to separate your legs to completely different sides, hold the stretch for a minute.


Exercise #5 – Calves

Every exercise is completed as prescribed in the YouTube video. Each exercise is done three times.

First Post - Why Did You Take Co-op

Why did you take the co-op?

I took co-op because it will introduce new information and interesting subjects to me. It seems to be a class that I will enjoy and excel in. I hope this year's co-op program is a success.

 

What are your plans for next year?

I hope to enter the sports science program at Douglas College after I finish my heavy duty mechanic foundation program at VCC. It is important to me to learn about the human body and all the different aspects that consist of human performance because it is something I am passionate about.

 

 What activities do you like to do outside of school?

Activities I like to do on a daily basis are power lifting and playing soccer. Power lifting is something I was introduced to earlier this summer by FitNation; a group of personal trainers who help athletes excel in their sport. Most of our powerlifting consisted of exercises such as deadlifts, power cleans, bench press, press, and squats. Soccer is something I have been playing since my youth days and it is something I will continue to play until I am well past my prime.

 

 Have you done any fitness activities over the summer?

I have done only two fitness activities over the summer but I did them often. Like previously explained, soccer and power lifting are the two activities I like and often do, usually every second day I do one or the other.

 

 What are your fitness goals for the semester?

My only fitness goal is to gain flexibility. It is the one area I feel as though I am very poor in. I hope to gain flexibility so I can be less injury prone and protect my hamstring from another tear as well.

Add any pictures/you tube links/etc., that help you show what you like and who you are.

What is important to you & helps to define who you are?

I think this YouTube video sums me up. I am a person who cares more about improving themseleves as an individual every day, going beyond from what is asked, a person who is willing to do anything to succeed and a person who will never give up.
