Unit 3 Reflection

This unit was about the heart, circulatory system, and our cardiovascular system. Our cardiovascular system delivers oxygen and nutrients to our entire body through a long process. The arteries in oir heart carry the blood to the body while the veins bring the blood back into the heart. Carbon dioxide is everts ally released from the blood. Cardiovascular health include problems that affect your heart and blood vessels. Heart diseases are caused by the buildup of plaque on your artery walls, commonly called atherosclerosis. Similarly, a stroke is caused by a blocked artery. Ways to promote cardiovascular health are dieting, exercising, and keeping your stress level low. I would like to learn more about how other organs in our body work and other uncommon ways to keep our body healthy. Some setbacks in this chapter was the heart process. It was a little confusing and hard to process and memorize.
