Heart
Heart is the heart of the matter
It starts with soul entering zygote
Death declared when it stops beating
It's therefore a part that is compelling.
It has four chambers right two left two
Right auricle receives blood to renew
Blood then flows into right ventricle
That's pumped into lungs little by little
Valves between the two prevent backflow
That is the beauty of our heart to show.
Blood picks up oxygen from lungs
And flows into left auricle once
Valve then opens to let it flow into left ventricle
From where it reaches all the tissues in muscle
That makes up our whole body
To remain fit and healthy.
Heart is just as big as our fist
It beats about eighty times a minute
Pumps five litres blood per day afresh
Works all the time from birth to death.
It successively expands and contracts
That's what continuously it does
Lets blood flowing all the time
And keeping us alive to sublime.
Pressure at which blood is pumped
Keeps our body rightly conditioned
Both high or low pressure
Will put our body in tremor.
Heart beat also follows a rhythm
That maintains a particular spasm
Its disturbance leads to sickness
Causing other complications.
There could be valve damage
Or enlargement of heart to grudge
A hole in the heart at birth
All require surgery for what it is worth.
Arteries and Veins carry blood to and fro
Keeping our heart and body parts on the go
Blockages in arteries veins affect blood flow
Depriving heart to function normally though.
Anger anxiety stress affect nervous system
Disturb blood pressure heart beat and rhythm
An angioplasty or a bypass surgery
That will save our life early.
Heart transplant worst case scenario
If age permits such an onerous go
Body should accept the foreign chore
For us to live normally as before.
Our food habits and activities decide blood quality
Also rest relaxation sleep refreshes mind daily.
We have to keep heart in good shape
So we live long in healthy state.
