                                    2. What is it?
                                      1. Your heart is actually a muscle. It is located a little to the left of the centre of your chest and is about the size of your clenched fist.
                                        1. The heart is special because it pumps blood all around your body. The blood provides all of your muscles with the oxygen and nutrients it needs. It also carries away waste.
                                          1. Your heart is a bit like a pump, or two pumps in one.The right side of your heart receives deoxygenated blood from your body and pumps it to the lungs, where gas exchange occurs, whereas the left side of your heart gets the blood from the lungs and pumps the oxygenated blood around your body.
                                            1. Your heart is part of something known as your circulatory system.
                                            2. Facts!
                                              1. The heart is the most important organ in our body!
                                                1. Your heart is well protected by your rib cage
                                                  1. Electricity going through your heart makes the muscle cells contract
                                                    1. The study of the human heart and its various disorders is known as cardiology
                                                      1. Everyday, your heart creates enough energy to drive a truck for 20 miles.
                                                        1. Your heart beats over 100,000 times a day!
                                                          1. Heart disease has been found in 3,000 year old mummies
                                                            1. The first heart cell starts to beat as early as 4 weeks
                                                              1. In an average lifetime, a human hearts pumps enough blood to fill 100 swimming pools.
                                                            2. Lungs
                                                              1. Parts of the lungs...
                                                                1. Bronchi
                                                                  1. Two 'tubes'. One leads to the right lung and the other leads to the left lung. They come off the trachea.
                                                                  2. Bronchioles
                                                                    1. Smaller tubes that branch away from the two main pipes (Bronchi).
                                                                    2. Trachea
                                                                      1. Also known as the windpipe. The trachea filters the air we inhale and branches into the bronchi
                                                                      2. Alveolus
                                                                        1. Tiny air sacs one cell thick, covered in capillaries, this is where gas exchange occurs.
                                                                        2. Lungs
                                                                          1. The main organ of the respiratory system. Lungs are the site in which oxygen is inhaled and transferred into our blood ad also where carbon dioxide is expelled out.
                                                                          2. Diaphragm
                                                                            1. The diaphragm expands and contracts thus changing the air pressure inside of your body causing you to suck in air otherwise known as inhaling.
                                                                          3. Gas exchange is the process in which the oxygen inhaled by the lungs enters the alveolus and then the oxygen transfers into our capillaries and blood, so it can go around our body and help our muscles.
                                                                            1. Facts!

                                                                                1. When resting, the average adult breaths 12-20 times a minute
                                                                                  1. The average person breaths in around 11,000 litres of air every day.
                                                                                    1. The study of lung diseases is known as pulmonology
                                                                                      1. People who have a large lung capacity can send blood around they body quicker. To increase your lung capacity you just have to do regular exercise!
                                                                                        1. There are about 600 million alveoli in your lungs and if you stretched them out they would be the size of a tennis court.
                                                                                          1. The breathing rate is quicker in women and children than in men.
                                                                                            1. It is the only organ in your body that is capable of floating on water!
                                                                                            2. What are they?
                                                                                              1. The lungs make up one of the largest organs in your body, and they work with your respiratory system to allow you to take in fresh air, get rid of stale air, and they even allow you to talk.
                                                                                                1. Lungs are in your chest and are also the site in which oxygen is inhaled and transferred into your blood stream and also where carbon dioxide is expelled from the body.
                                                                                                  1. The lungs are often compared to being like a sponge like substance.
                                                                                                    1. Lung are a very important organ and without them we would die
