204 Chapter 16 Vascular System
A classmate says that without specialized cells, the heart wouldn’t be able to help other organs and body system to perform. Based on your understanding of body organization, is there evidence to support her claim?
(a) Yes, without red blood cells, the heart wouldn’t be able to deliver oxygen to other organs
(b) somewhat, because the heart is constructed from specialized tissues, such as muscle tissue, that help it to function but the cells are no different than other body cells
(c) no, this in inaccurate because it is the brain, not the heart that help the other organs in the body to function
(d) No, because the cells in the heart are not specialized compared with other organs in the body

HEART
The structure of the heart allows it to serve as two distinct pumps. One side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs
while the other side propels oxygenated blood throughout the body. The heart is unique in other ways as well. For
example, it consists of muscle found nowhere else in the body. What's more, cardiac cells can generate and
transmit electrical impulses spontaneously. Learn more about the characteristics of this vital organ by completing
the activities in this chapter.
Conceptualize in Color Heart Layers
Test your knowledge of the layers of the heart's wall and the pericardium by coloring the figure as suggested.
• Endocardium: Light pink
• Myocardium: Dark pink
• Fibrous pericardium: Orange
• Serous pericardium: Light blue
• Place green Xs in the pericardial space.
• Draw a bracket linking the layers that make up the
serous pericardium.
