Unit 3 Reflextion

I enjoyed this unit about the cardiovascular system. I enjoyed the activities and labs. My favorite one was obviously the sheep lab and disecting the heart of a sheep. Even though it was really hard and hands on and smelled bad it helped with my understanding of where things were located. We learned about blood, and pumping oxygfen through the body with kidneys and lungs. We also learned about how these organs can cause disease and get viruses if the body is not maintained correctly. The cardiovascular system works by pumping blood through your body for oxygen. This is the important because if you dont have the proper circulatory system than the consequences may be fatal. Cardiovascular health is a healthy blood pressure, healthey cholesterol and a good heart health. This all includes keeping heathey with the 5 pillars of health. Promoting cardiovascular health is not doing things to hurt your body such as smoking and drinking. Just like many people want to know, I want to learn more about the brain which still has not been discovered completely by scientist.
