Body Systems in Girl Terms

Dear Health Honeys, 🐝🍯

 

Hi everybody! The week was sooo long I'm so glad it's over! But now that it's the weekend and I don't have to go to work I can finally sit down, eat popcorn,🍿and write to you guys! Every post, or every other post, I will tell you guys about a different body system. Today will be the Cardiovascular System! Basically i'm gonna explain it without all the scary medical words we wouldn't understand unless we were actually IN medical school⚕. I will also explain it in girl terms💄 like making connections to tv shows and things like that! For me, I had a super hard time with body systems this year, but putting it into Gossip Girl ♥ terms helped! Before I start, I wanna preference that girls do NOT need things dumbed down, that is not what I am trying to get at. Putting things in easier terms is really helpful, especially for those who 

are just starting out! And making connections to shows helps our brain remember better! NOW LET'S GET

STARTED! 🫧

    The body has 11 body systems, each including major organs. Lets starts with the Cardiovascular System!

The Cardiovascular System includes your body's heart, blood, and blood vessels. The heart pumps the blood that carries oxygen and nutrients that your body needs! The blood travels through tubes called blood vessels. But let's go more in depth.  

Basically, the heart is the Serena van der Woodsen of this system!♀ (Serena is the IT girl, she's always at the center, she keeps the drama going, and without her Gossip Girl would've gotten canceled.) The heart has two sides, the right and the left (like how Serena sometimes has two different personalities). ♥The right side of the heart sends blood to the lungs so they can get oxygen. The left side sends fresh, oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body! 🌷

The blood is like gossip. The blood gets sent around to the entire body like how gossip gets to everybody through Gossip Girl! The blood carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste. 🩸

The blood vessels are the highways that the blood goes through! Now, there are three main roads on this highway.🏎 They are called the arteries, veins, and capillaries. The arteries are basically the fast lane⛙that takes blood AWAY from the heart, just like how Blair takes gossip from Serena and brings it to the rest of the Upper East Side. The veins are a chill and slower ride which brings blood BACK to the heart. Kind like how Dan tells Serena all the drama! 🚗

The capillaries are the tiny side streets where the exchange really happens. In the capillaries, the blood drops off oxygen and nutrients to your cells. Then, the blood picks up waste from your cells and carries it away. They are like the tips in Gossip Girl, this is where everything happpensss. 🚦🎂

The Cardiovascular systems is so important because without the heart, the human body would not be alive. Like how without Serena, Gossip Girl would get canceled. ❌🦀

And there you go! That's the Cardiovascular System! I hope this was helpful and easy to understand! ♥

Now, let me do a quick vital check on myself!🩺
