pulmonary trunk and pulmonary veins.
@ Layers of the Heart Wall Right
Three layers of tissue form the heart wall. The outer layer aie
of the heart wall is the epicardium, the middle layer is the
myocardium, and the inner layer is the endocardium.
(ii) Chambers of the Heart
The internal cavity of the heart is divided into four chambers:
Left
ventricle
The Heart
1. Rightatrium 3. Right ventricle
2. Leftatrium 4. Left ventricle
Blood Vessels
The blood vessels is like a network of roadways that allow blood
to flow quickly and efficiently from the heart to every region of
the body and back. All blood vessels contain a hollow area called
the lumen through which blood is able to flow. Around the
Tumen is the wall of the vessel which may be thin in case of
capillaries or very thick in case of arteries. Arteries, veins, and
capillaries are the three main types of blood vessels.
Blood
Blood is a fluid connective tissue that travels throughout
the body in blood vessels. Blood transports oxygen and
nutrients to all of the body's cells, as well as carbon
dioxide and other wastes to be eliminated. Blood also
transports a variety of different compounds, protects the
body from infection, repairs body tissues, and regulates
the pH of the body, among other things. Plasma is the
fluid component of blood. It's a watery yellowish liquid with a lot of. dissolved chemicals
and blood cells in it. Red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are examples of
blood cells found in plasma. The three types of cells in blood are red blood cell (left),
,Jatelet (center), and white blood cell (right).a ee ole in 4 oe wee 6 Ow Wh

(ii) Cardiac Muscle
Cardiac muscle is exclusively found in the heart and is responsible for
pumping blood throughout the body. Cardiac muscle tissue is an
involuntary muscle since it cannot be regulated intentionally. The
pace of contraction is adjusted by hormones and impulses from the
brain, but cardiac muscle stimulates itself to contract. The natural
pacemaker of the heart is cardiac muscle tissue, which induces the
contraction of other cardiac muscle cells. Cardiac muscle is “Go.
considered autorhythmic or intrinsically controlled due to its self-
stimulation. ;
When seen under a light microscope, the cells of cardiac muscle tissue are striated,
meaning they appear to have light and dark stripes. The arrangement of protein fibers
inside of the cells causes these light and dark bands. Striations indicate that a muscle
cell is very strong, unlike visceral muscles. The cells of heart muscle are branched X or Y
shaped cells that are closely joined by intercalated discs, which are special ihnetigns.

The oral cavity, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, small intestines, and large intestines
make up the alimentary canal. There are several crucial auxiliary organs that assist your

canal. The teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and Pancreas are all
digestive system accessory organs. The main parts of the digestive system are as
discussed below.
(@) Mouth
The oral cavity, often known as the mouth, is the first portion of the digestive
tract. It has evolved to receive food through swallowing, break it down into
little particles through mastication, and mix it with saliva. The boundaries
are formed by the lips, cheeks, and palate. The teeth and tongue are housed
in the oral cavity. The teeth chop food into small pieces which are moistened
by salvia and pushed into the pharynx, which also receive salivary gland
secretions. Mouth

2. Importance of. Fasting in Yoga
The Yogis think that fasting can be a beneficial technique for everyone, and that it can
have substantial effects even in its most basic and "mild" form. Given the amount of time
we spend in eating, they found that taking a break from eating and investing that time in
our growth - such as spending time with family, volunteering in our community, or
simply reflecting on our life - can havea significant impact on our personal development.
It's worth mentioning that this doesn't have to be a long period of time; simply a day or a
fraction of a day can be effective. If even that feel daunting, we can perform a "relative
fast,” in which we choose a simpler but still comfortable way of eating, such as a day of
just fruits and vegetables or just juice and broth, to free up time while honouring our
“comfort zone." Even on our weekly "fasting day,” the kitchen at the ashram where I
resided remained open, with juice, soup, and simple dishes available throughout the day
for those who felt it was a better fit for them at the time. We can also apply the concept to
other aspects of our lives when we realise we spend more time than is necessary, such as
watching television, reading the news, or using social media. Consider what you could
accomplish if you took a vacation from a time-consuming activity once a week or month
and invested it in a "higher purpose,” however you might define it. This is the concept
behind spiritual fasting and fasting on holy days in general: in both cases, we choose to
temporarily set aside certain worldly things, not giving them up, but simply taking a
break to invest that energy in something more important to us that is often pushed aside
by daily routine.
3. Steps for Putting Spiritual Nutrition into Practice :
