Blog 11: Fascination

The cardiovascular (circulatory) system is amazing. I'm fascinated with the on-point sync and rhythm of the heart and how the body is fueled by the amazing life-source. From the point that the heart pumps due to self-charged centers called nodes to the point where oxygen is given to organs through capillary beds, the cardiovascular system is a wonder. At our lungs, the oxygen is carried by RBCs to the heart again, which pumps it to every vital and non-vital organ in the body. And the way the veins are constructed to carry blood back to the heart is an amazing feat for our bodies. It's a never ending cycle for the heart to keep pumping precious oxygenated blood to our brain, our muscles, etc. And how it is linked to every other system is another example to how amazing this system is.
