1
Did you have breakfast this morning?
2
Did you ever wonder after you eat breakfast and your food is digested, how is that glucose getting transported around your body?
3
Or as you take a breath in, how does that oxygen get transported around?
4
Or when you exhale, how does that carbon dioxide get transferred out?
5
Are these only questions I ponder during breakfast?
6
Maybe.
7
Your circulatory system is absolutely fascinating and highly involved in this.
8
In this short intro video of the circulatory system, we will mention some basics about its functions and trace the pathway of how blood travels through your heart,
9
but please know before we get started, there are gigantic textbooks on the circulatory system itself.
10
So obviously this video is just an intro.
11
We're going to first talk about blood, the medium of how we transport glucose and gases.
12
As we mentioned in our Body Systems intro video from many years ago, there are some misconceptions.
13
Human blood is red, and always red, although the shade of red can vary based on how much oxygen is in the blood.
14
Veins and arteries are often drawn in diagrams as blue
15
or red to show whether they have lower or higher concentrations of oxygen.
16
But that's just how it is used in most diagrams.
17
It doesn't mean the blood, or the veins, or the arteries are actually that color.
18
Veins that you see under your skin may look blue or green, but that involves the way they appear under the skin, and the reason for this would make a great physics topic.
19
But I digress.
20
Human blood has a lot of functions.
21
It maintains a certain pH, temperature, osmotic pressure.
22
All of this is very important for homeostasis.
23
It transports things like hormones, nutrients, and gases.
24
And it's made up of different components.
25
One component includes plasma, the liquid portion.
26
Water, proteins, salts, lipids.
27
You'll find them in this liquid portion of blood, known as plasma.
28
Another component includes cellular components.
29
This means red blood cells which do the transporting of gases, white blood cells which can fight infections,
30
and platelets which are actually cellular fragments and they're involved with helping your blood clot.
31
Very important when there is damage to the body.
32
Red blood cells have an iron containing protein called hemoglobin and that is where the red coloring of blood comes from.
33
So when we're talking about blood and we're just introing the circulatory system, we're going to focus on how this blood moves around in the human body.
34
Human heart anatomy observes the heart divided into two distinct
35
and separated partitions- a deoxygenated or low oxygen partition and an oxygenated partition.
36
There are some human congenital heart conditions that can result in this oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mixing, however.
37
More on that at the end.
38
Capillaries carry blood away from the heart.
39
Think A4 away.
40
Arteries are typically oxygen rich, but there are exceptions.
41
Veins generally carry blood to the heart.
42
Veins typically are oxygen poor, but there are exceptions.
43
Capillaries are small blood vessels
44
and it is at the capillary level where oxygen is delivered to organs
45
and tissues and where carbon dioxide will be picked up to travel back to the lungs.
46
So looking at this heart, the right side, and that's the person's right, so for you it will look opposite,
47
pumps deoxygenated blood, and the left side pumps oxygenated blood.
48
We can also see four chambers, the right atrium and right ventricle, and the left atrium and the left ventricle.
49
I like to remember that A comes before V in the alphabet, so that helps me remember that A's for atria are at the top of the heart, V for ventricles are at the bottom of the heart.
50
The heart also contains valves, which we'll see when we get to tracing the pathway of blood.
51
The valves are one-way structures that help separate the chambers and also prevent backflow of blood.
52
Ready to take the adventure of a lifetime?
53
An adventure tracing the pathway of blood through the heart?
54
We're going to start with blood that is in a human toe.
55
This blood is deoxygenated.
56
It needs to get to the heart so
57
that it can be pumped to the lungs to pick up oxygen and then be spread throughout the body.
58
It's going to get there through the vena cava.
59
Inferior vena cava to be specific as the superior vena cava is above the heart.
60
The blood enters the right atrium.
61
The right atrium contracts, pushing the blood through the tricuspid valve, into the right ventricle.
62
The right ventricle contracts, pumping the blood through the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary artery.
63
By the way, when you see the word pulmonary, it likely involves lungs.
64
The pulmonary artery takes blood to the lungs.
65
The lungs are where red blood cells in the blood will take on oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
66
Now this blood is oxygenated.
67
It needs to return to the heart so that the heart can pump it throughout the body.
68
The oxygenated blood travels through a pulmonary vein to the left atrium.
69
The left atrium contracts and the blood travels through the mitral valve, also known as the bicuspid valve, into the left ventricle.
70
The left ventricle contracts and pumps the blood through the aortic valve and out a major artery known as the aorta.
71
The aorta is a major artery that carries oxygenated blood throughout the body.
72
Now I don't want to neglect the fact that the heart needs its own blood supply for delivery of oxygen and glucose.
73
The heart can receive this blood supply through coronary arteries.
74
Coronary arteries branch off the aorta and eventually deliver blood into capillaries.
75
These capillaries deliver oxygen and glucose to the heart.
76
veins will take the deoxygenated blood to the right atrium where the blood will eventually travel the pathway to become oxygenated.
77
In fact, to quiz yourself, can you pause the video and trace the pathway of blood again starting with the right atrium?
78
Okay, all together.
79
Right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonary valve, pulmonary artery, lungs, back through the pulmonary vein,
80
left atrium, mitral valve, left ventricle, aortic valve, aorta.
81
Takes it to the body and then it will eventually return through the vena cava back to the right atrium again.
82
Whew, it almost makes you want to turn it into a song.
83
But we won't.
84
The significance of the pathways, how they interact, the coordination of contraction, and many more elements are part of every beat of your heart.
85
A human heart beats over 100,000 times per day, so it's significant that every beat is coordinated and blood is directed where it should go.
86
The complexity of the cardiac cycle, which is the coordinated sequence of the heart's contractions and relaxations, isn't something this short video can go into.
87
Hopefully a separate video on that soon.
88
One last thing.
89
There are many conditions in which the heart doesn't function correctly.
90
Anatomically, some heart conditions change the pathway flow of blood.
91
One example that we had mentioned before is an atrial septal defect.
92
The septum is the muscular wall that separates the right and left side of the heart.
93
So a septal defect could mean an opening and oxygen-rich blood could mix with oxygen-poor blood.
94
Depending on the size, this can cause further problems such as an abnormal heartbeat, stroke, or potentially heart failure in severe cases.
95
Some medications can help the symptoms, or surgery can be an option.
96
There continues to be more advancements for treating cardiovascular conditions.
97
If you have interest in the amazing field of cardiology, take a look at the suggested further reading links in the video details.
98
Well, that's it for the Amoeba Sisters, and we remind you to stay curious.

추천 영상

이 비디오는 누구를 위한 것인가요?

영어 회화 연습을 하거나 IELTS 스피킹 준비를 하고 있는 중급 이상 학습자에게 좋습니다. 순환계와 심장의 구조에 관한 내용을 영어로 이해하면서, 과학 용어와 논리적인 설명을 표현하는 능력을 기를 수 있습니다. 특히 쉐도잉(shadowing) 연습에 적합한데, 말의 흐름과 강조하는 부분을 따라하면서 자연스러운 발음과 리듬을 익힐 수 있습니다.

빼놓을 수 없는 단어와 표현

  • Circulatory system: 순환계. "The circulatory system transports nutrients."처럼 사용합니다.
  • Deoxygenated blood: 탈산소혈. "Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart."
  • Homeostasis: 항상성. "Blood helps maintain homeostasis in the body."
  • Backflow: 역류. "Valves prevent backflow of blood."
  • Ponder: 깊이 생각하다. "I often ponder how the body works."처럼 사용해보세요.

발음을 올바르게 하는 방법

이 비디오의 화자는 명확하면서도 자연스러운 미국식 발음을 사용합니다. 특히 단어 사이의 연결음에 주의하세요. 예를 들어 "pump ed"가 아니라 "pump't"처럼 발음되거나, "and it is"가 "an' it is"로 줄어듭니다. 쉐도잉 연습을 할 때는 이러한 부분을 꼼꼼히 따라하세요. 또한 "hemoglobin" (헤모글로빈)과 "capillaries" (모세혈관) 같은 긴 단어는 음절을 분리해서 발음하는 것이 중요합니다. shadowspeaks나 shadowing site에서 비슷한 주제의 영상과 함께 연습하면 더욱 효과적입니다. 꾸준히 연습하다 보면 IELTS 스피킹에서도 자신감 있게 말할 수 있을 거예요!

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
