Oxy 
RIGHT ATRIUM

Deoxy 
AORTA

Oxy 
SUPERIOR VENA CAVA
Oxygen-poor blood from the upper body returns to the heart 
Deoxy 
INFERIOR VENA CAVA
Oxygen-poor blood from the lower part of the body returns to the heart through here 
Deoxy

Both

All About Me

            I want to become a physiotherapist when I am older so I thought it would be a good idea to take this class because I thought I would learn a little about physiotherapy.  Next year I plan to go to SFU to get my kinesiology degree which will take 4 years then go to UBC to do physiotherapy which will take a year or two.  Outside of school I like to play basketball with my friends or even alone so I can practice to get better.  At home I do not watch a lot of TV because I am busy with my studies, basketball, helping my parents as well my little brother and little sister.  Also, in the summer I did basketball camps throughout the whole summer and I was training outside of school for the school basketball season.  I trained by getting into shape such as going for runs, working out, agility drills and more.  My fitness goal for the semester is to get over 12 on the beep test which is my best score as well improve my vertical jump.  There are many important things in my life such as my family, my studies as well basketball and all these things define me as a person.
