My Vacation Diary

Dear diary: My family and I, the red blood cells better known as erythrocytes family had decide to go on a trip from the vena cava to our right hand. This trip takes day and we will experience a lot of things like assume climates wonderful views and different environments. I hope we have an amazing trip and learn more about my body.

Day 1: Today we start our adventure by the vena cava we take a boat that make an easier entrance to the right atrium. The boat was comfortable but it was hard because the vena cava was very hard because it is very think and many other red blood were pushing finally we get in the right atrium , there a guy told us to put some cotton in our ears, because at night we can hear the bum bum of valves closing and opening so the cotton was for the noise don’t let us sleep.bt suddenly a discupid valve open an we pass to a huge room that seams to be soft . I hear a withe blood cell named leukocyte, asking why that was so fast and guise told her that it could be because the pacemaker wasn’t of humor that is the one that controls the heart beating . in that huge room we sleep , everything was calm but I woke up every second with the wear sound like a sharks movie of the heart bum bum.

Day 2: Today my father told me that it was going to be the most exacting part of the trip. We got to a tube that was going to take us out to the lungs we pass trough this very dark tube and was so dark and exiting it was the pulmonary semi lunar valve, it was so fast and motioning finally we arrive to the lungs , then of all days we were so tired so we saw and Indian and we tell us that we can make an exchange our dirty waste co2 for his bran new o2.Then of exchanging we have all our forces back to continue our trip by this little path were one 1 of us can pass through a time the Indians call it capillaries in a hotel of 3 rooms called alveoli. Then we get in a tunnel called pulmonary artery it was fast an fun but there were to much blood cells so we take some time to get to the left atrium were we where going to sleep.

Day 3: Today we wake up really early in the morning because we had a hard day we pass trough a valve to the left ventricle that was much bigger than the right we saw a beautiful red view. We were so exited to see all of the different things out of the heart so we pass through a big, strong and thick artery called the aorta ; my mom make me take a lot of pictures with my brother s because is the biggest blood vessel of the body. trough that path we felt like a volcano explosion with a great force and really fast . then we pass through our sub avian artery we take a brake and then we were in the basal artery and we saw the triceps and biceps exercising contraction and relaxing like little machines, we saw how cellular respiration happens and how muscles were preparing to Olympics.. then we make a camping and we slept the because it could be a lot of lactic acid and will be dangerous.

Day 4: This is the last day of our trip we pass trough the radial artery were rappers were listening to music and finally to the harm. When our trip was over we go back to vena cava so tired and almost blue trough the veins. This trips was amazing I learn a lot of things and all this notes in help me in biology class . Good by diary until the next trip!!!!
