SALIENT LESSONS FROM THE CORONARY ARTERIES The coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart, the blood pump. Some of its duties are outlined and deductions are saliently made from them. 1.       REPLENISHMENT: The first lesson to take from the coronary artery is that it replenishes the heart. While performing the work of pumping blood to other tissues, the cardiac muscle is replenished by means of its 2 coronary arteries. 2.       DIRECTLY SOURCED: The coronary arteries, unsurprisingly, take origin from the aorta, the main artery leaving the left ventricle, carrying oxygenated blood to all branch arteries of the human body. Thus, it originates from the principal source of maximally oxygenated blood; this points to the fact that it reveres impartation and not opinions. 3.       PERFUSION: The coronary arteries ensure that blood gets to every part of the heart by means of its several branches.

I was in a bus this morning, happy with myself for having bagging such a ride. You see, this bus was going to transport me from almost literally my doorstep to where I needed to be exactly; and this completed exemplified and simplified hormonal activity in my ever-active mind. Two exact straight lines were being joined. A hormone (a human) is a chemical substance (is a mechanical being), formed in one organ or part of the body (who lives in his/her house) and is transported by blood (transported by land, air or water) to its site of action (to where he/she needs to perform necessary actions). The word hormone originates from the Greek word hormao, which is translated to mean ‘to rouse or set in motion’. Any need then to wonder on the amazing correlations between the human movement and hormonal transport? The similarities between hormone transport and human movement include, but aren’t restricted to: 1.       SITES OF FORMATION AND ACTIVITY ARE DIVERGE...
