Rhythm of the Pulse By Jeffrey Hale ©2001
chorus:
Feel the beating of your heart
It's been beating from the start.
To the rhythm of the pulse.
Round and round and round your blood flows.
Arteries are shaped like tubes.
They carry blood to where it's used.
Cells are where the air's exchanged
Then blood goes back up through the veins.
repeat chorus
There's 4 chambers in your heart.They work together like an
art.
Blood enters the right atrium. Tricuspid valve then opens
Into the right ventricle, until that chamber becomes full.
To the lungs the blood is carried by the artery called pulmonary.
repeat chorus
Fresh with oxygen from lungs back to heart in left atrium
through mitral valve to left ventricle.Then that chamber becomes
full
Through aorta blood leaves the pump, to the body with oxygen
Feeding your cells then back to the start through the vena cava
into your heart
repeat chorus
It's the cardiovascular system for the purpose of circulation.
It's the inside transportation. Life's amazing creation.
Let's talk about blood for a while . Phagocytes, lymphocytes make
me smile
protecting us against invasion. Warriors of our immune system.
red blood cells with hemoglobin attached with molecules of oxygen.
If your skin gets scrapes and cuts it's sealed up again with the
blood platelets.
repeat chorus
