Even when at resi human heart pumps about 5 litres of blood each minute throughout the body. The human heart is a four-chambered muscular organ with two-thirds of its mass to the left of midline, formed and sized roughly like a man’s closed fist. The top of te Rae heart which is known as heart base, connects to the sum blood vessels of the body like aorta, vena cava. 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 103 1 ea 3.

These skeletal steietal Muscle muscle fibres, like cardiac muscle, are extremely powerful. Skeletal ae derives its name from the fact that these muscles always connect to the skeleton inatleast one place. (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. Intercalated dises are formed by the interlocking of finger like projections ae nearby cells, forming a strong bond between the cells. The muscle cells’ ae structure and intercalated discs enable them to withstand high blood Peed hs train of pumping blood for the rest of their lives.

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 body digest food but do not have food flow through them, in addition to the alimentary 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.

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.
