Unit 3 was about the Cardiovascular System. The Circulatory System is a fluid filled network of tubes through which materials more between the environment and cells of multicellular animals. It transports the materials needed by cells and removes waste materials from cells.
Heart disease and strokes are caused by an unhealthy diet. This leads to fat being built up in the vessels. This could also lead to artherosclerosis.
To promote our health, we can do many things such as exercise, eat healthy, do not smoke and so much more!
I would love to learn more about what can happen to the heart if we don't treat it properly and to learn more about how to stay healthy and in good condition.
I think that one of my strengths throughout this unit was the location of the heart. I had trouble, though, learning about the different cells and disease but I will definitely find time to learn it own my own.
This unit, we dissected a sheep's heart. This was a really fun and interesting lab and I really look forward to more dissections in the future.
Below is a picture of the heart we dissected!
