Text A. The blood vessels, large and small

The raw material’s¹ for the energy that powers man’s every thought and action are transported in the blood. The enriched² blood id carried in a network of small vessels, capillaries, to each cell. These capillaries are so small that 60 long ones or 120 short ones would stretch only the length of this line of type. There are so many capillaries in the body that, laid end to end, they would ring the equator³ more than twice.

Blood coming into the capillaries from the arteries has been enriched with oxygen in the lungs or with food from the digestive system. The walls of the capillaries are only one cell thick; so thin that oxygenated blood is able, to pass its oxygen and food to the body’s cells and to receive from the cells their waste. The spent blood then flows from the capillaries into the veins, which direct it back to the heart. In the heart the blood enters the arteries and is carried by them to the lungs and digestive system, to be oxygenated and enriched again before returning to the capillaries.

The body’s largest blood vessels, the aorta and the pulmonary artery, are about an inch in diameter. Arteries have thick elastic walls, the pulsations, of which assist the heart in pumping. Vein walls are more rigid. Many of them, particulary in the lower part of the body, have valves which prevent a backflow ofblood.

1. raw materials — сырые продукты

2. to enrich — обогащать

3. would ring the eqnator — опоясали бы экватор...

Text C. The Cardiac Rhythm

One knows that during the diastole the atria and ventricles take in (принимают) the blood. It has been determined that during the systole the atria and the ventricles discharge out the blood. The diastole of the ventricles takes place during the systole of the atria, and the systole of the ventricles takes place during the diastole of the, atria. These functions of the atria and the ventricles compose the cardiac rhythm.

The cardiac cycle lasts 0.9 second. The contraction of the atria lasts 0.2" and that of the ventricles 0.3". When the atria contract the ventricles are at rest. The diastole or the period of rest of the cardiac muscle lasts 0.4".

So during one cardiac cycle the ventricles work 0.3" but rest 0.6". The period of contraction of the ventricles is longer than that of the atria and the systolic blood pressure is always Higher than the diastolic one. Such an interesting cardiac rhythm which enables the heart to rest longer than to work is very important for the blood circulation.

If the period of cardiac rest has become constantly shorter, the rate of heartbeat increases. Such an increased rate of heartbeat may affect [a’fekt] (поражает) the heart and produce different cardiac diseases.

Запомните:

1. Суффикс -th [0] образует имя существительное от имени при­лагательного, иногда от глагола: warm теплый — warmth тепло­та; grow расти — growth рост.

При образовании существительного от прилагательного при помощи суффикса -th часто происходит изменение ударной гласной корневого слова: strong сильный — strength сила.

2. Суффикс -ish [ij] образует прилагательные а) от существи­тельного: fever [Ti:v3] лихорадка— feverish [Ti:v3riJ] лихорадочный;

б) от прилагательного. В этом случае вновь образованное прила­гательное имеет значение неполного качества: yellow [‘jelou] желтый — yellowish [‘jelouij] желтоватый.

3. Суффикс -ful [tul] образует прилагательные от существитель­ных и реже от глаголов, указывает на наличие того или иного каче­ства: hope надежда — hopeful надеющийся; to forget забывать — forgetful забывчивый.
