Thoughts and Opinions
The more I think about the heart, the more grossed out I get about it. There are so many different parts and something could easily go wrong and stop your heart from beating. After going to bio class, I'm more aware of my heart beating and it makes me really uncomfortable. To me, this unit is a lot more interesting and useful than cellular respiration/ photosynthesis ever will be. I'm really excited about the heart dissection tomorrow!

Above and Beyond (Heart Facts)
-According to German researchers, the risk of heart attack is higher on Monday than any other day of the week.

-By the time you turn 70, your heart will have beat some two-and-a-half billion times (figuring on an average of 70 beats per minute.)

-Women's hearts beat faster than men's.
