If we can agree that government has some roles to play in our lives, then let's at least
make it a positive one. Consider the benefits of free, fully-subsidized public transportation.
First, it will motivate more people to leave their cars at home. Think of the reduction in
pollution and traffic jams and insurance costs due to accidents. Greener cities, safer cities, more
live-able cities. More room for parks and trees. Think of the money we'll all save by consuming
less gas, spending less frequently on car repairs, and so on. That money will stay in our wallets
and we could then turn around and give the economy a boost by spending it on other consumer
goods or services. More jobs.
Secondly, we must consider the health benefits. We'll all walk a little more. This will
reduce visits to doctors' offices and hospitals because we'll be healthier. We'll have improved
blood pressure, lower stress and possibly a better complexion.
In addition, free transportation will encourage us to enjoy the company of our friends and
family. It will become much more feasible to safely drink another glass of wine at the restaurant
or have that extra beer at the family gathering. We'll avoid the worry of getting behind the wheel
with a blood-alcohol level that's above the legal limit. Fewer accidents, fewer tragedies, lower
costs of policing and reduced court backlogs. The increased public expense in transportation
should pay off in the form of reduced health care costs and a safer society.
Then, think about some of the other social benefits: imagine how much we'll learn from
each other when we share rides instead of sitting in isolation in our cars. Talking to the neighbors
might come back into fashion. More people will meet and talk and maybe even help each other.
Having someone else drive us will also give us more time for reading books and
newspapers. So, park your car and use it for your dream vacation.
No more fumbling for change, just hop on and off the streetcar or bus wherever and
whenever you like. What a great idea, especially for those who live in crowded, polluted cities. It
will renew life on our streets.
So I can't agree more with this proposition. Let's go for it!

ANSWER:
Your heart muscle is a very efficient pump that delivers blood, oxygen and nutrients to your
body.
The heart has four chambers—two on the right and two on the left. Both sides of the heart
work together. The right side pumps blood into the lungs and the left side pumps blood into the
organs and tissues of your body.
After your blood flows through the body, its life-giving oxygen and nutrients have been
depleted. To replenish the oxygen and revitalize the blood, it must pass through the heart and
then into the lungs again.
Right side: First the oxygen-depleted blood enters the heart through two large veins, the
inferior and superior vena cava, and then flows into the right atrium. From the right atrium, it
passes through the tricuspid valve and then into the right ventricle. The blood is then pumped
through the pulmonary valve and into the lungs.
Once in the lungs, carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen is added to the blood. Left side:
The pulmonary vein empties oxygen - rich blood , from the lungs into the left atrium. From here,
the blood flows into your left ventricle through the open mitral valve and finally, it is pumped
through the aortic valve into the aorta—the blood vessel that feeds all of the other parts of your
body. contract (squeeze) or “pump”. This pattern is repeated continuously throughout your life,
causing blood to flow continuously to the heart, lungs and other parts of the body.
