Hello, today is Friday and that means no more school for a few days. I will start the day with a lesson on some human anatomy. I wanted to sketch out one of the most important organs of our bodies because I feel that it is not only important to draw, but it is also important to learn about. What in the world am I talking about you ask? Well, I am talking about the human heart. Learning “how to draw a human heart step by step”, will enable you to draw the heart accurately when it comes to science projects, or just plain out art designs. The heart is as you know basically a pump. This pump is just a hunk of muscle that pumps blood throughout the body. Do you know how many times the human heart beats per minute? Our hearts beat on average, seventy two times per minute. The heart is also one of the main parts of the body that literally keeps you alive. Without your heart, your body will no longer have the ability to pump blood throughout your entire body as well as remove waste that your body does not need. Our brain requires oxygen and glucose, and without it, we will loose consciousness. Every muscle on our bodies need six things to contract in a normal way; oxygen, glucose, amino acids, sodium, calcium, and potassium. The heart is also a muscle, which means the heart pumps these very same things to itself as well. Without those six components, the heart will stop pumping, and our entire body shuts down in very little time. The heart that I drew is what your heart basically looks like. The bag pipe looking area right on the top of the heart is called your aorta, and so on and so forth. In the tutorial steps on “how to draw a human heart”, I will tell you what each part is that you are about to draw. We as people should take care of our hearts by getting enough exercise, eating right, and relaxing. The human heart is not something that can be reckoned with, and we are only born with one. Unlike the liver our heart cannot rejuvenate itself. Instead, if our hearts become bad, we have to get them replaced if thats applicable. I hope you guys learned something new with this lesson, I will be back in a jiffy with more drawing fun. Peace out guys and remember, take care of your heart.
