ITA Come potete vedere dall'immagine accanto, l'organo della settimana sarร ...il cuore!


The organ of the week: the heart!
L'organo della settimana: il cuore!

ENG For science professionals, the heart is the organ that pumps blood into our body; for the artists it represents the passion, for the storytellers, just love.

The heart is a hollow muscular organ that contracts rhythmically from birth to death. It has the role of "engine" the circulatory system, pumping blood from the center of our body to the periphery, carrying nutrients, immune cells, proteins and other substances throughout the body. The muscular tissue of the heart is called myocardium and It is more represented in the left hearth, at the level of the ventricle. Being a muscle, the heart itself has a constant need for energy (blood sugar) and oxygen to work: when this does not happen, as in the case of a thrombosis of the coronary arteries, the muscle cells may die leading to an heart attack . The heart is endowed with an independent innervation that allows a constant contraction of the muscle cells. The rhythm is dictated by "special" muscular cells called "pacemaker" cells. The first group of these pacemaker cells is called sinoatrial node: from there, a contraction wave is generated and it propagates to all the muscle cells of the heart.

In ancient times it was said that the Aztecs extracted the beating heart of the sacrificial victims and offered it to the gods to appease their anger; the Greek philosopher Aristotle thought that the heart was the seat of memory, even now people use the expression "by heart" to mean something to remember.

Now it's time for you to write about the heart! Will you take a scientific approach or be more passionate?

ITA Per gli uomini di scienza il cuore รจ l'organo che pompa sangue nel nostro corpo, per gli artisti rappresenta la passione, per i narratori l'amore.

Il cuore รจ un organo muscolare cavo che si contrae ritmicamente dal concepimento fino alla morte. Il suo ruolo รจ quello di "motore" dell'apparato circolatorio, pompando sangue dal centro del nostro corpo alla periferia, trasportando nutrienti, cellule, proteine e altre sostanze in tutto l'organismo. Il tessuto muscolare del cuore prende il nome di miocardio, ed รจ piรน spesso a sinistra, a livello del ventricolo. Essendo un muscolo, lo stesso cuore ha un bisogno costante di energia ed ossigeno per funzionare, quando questo non avviene, come nel caso di una trombosi delle arterie coronarie, si possono avere gravi conseguenza come un infarto e la morte. Il cuore รจ dotato di un innervazione indipendente che consente una contrazione costante delle cellule muscolare, il ritmo รจ dettato da particolari cellule muscolari chiamate cellule "segna-passo" o "pacemaker". Il primo gruppo di queste cellule pacemaker prende il nome di nodo seno-atriale: da qui viene generata un'onda di contrazione che si propaga a tutte le cellule muscolari del cuore.

Nell'antichitร  si diceva che gli Aztechi estraessero il cuore ancora pulsante delle vittime sacrificali e lo offrissero agli dei per placare la loro ira; il filosofo greco Aristotele pensava che il cuore fosse sede della memoria, la stessa parola "ricordare" presenta la radice latina "cordis", ovvero cuore.

Ora tocca a voi parlare del cuore: userete un approccio scientifico o uno piรน passionale?


Need help? Bisogno d'aiuto?

ENG Need some inputs? Heart is usually related to love, affection and feelings, what about some cool story to share? Heart is also an organ: are there any new findings about cardiology? While drawings and crafts can represent love, maybe you could have seen some hearts around...game cards? Who said that? Moreover it seems that the heart role and love feelings could have been different in the past...and what about the future?

Good work everyone! All the entries will be fine until sunday 23th 8.00 AM CET. Winners will be announced every week on Monday-Tuesday.

ITA Avete bisogni di spunti? Il cuore รจ messo in relazione con l'amore, l'affetto ed i sentimenti in generale...che ne dite di una bella storia da condividere? Il cuore rimane comunque un organo: ci sono nuove ricerche in cardiologia? Anche se i disegni e le composizioni possono rappresentare l'amore, forse avete visto qualche cuore in giro...giochi di carte? Chi lo ha detto? Inoltre sembra che il ruolo del cuore ed i sentimenti d'amore fosse differenti in passato...chissร  nel futuro?

Buon lavoro a tutti! Le partecipazioni saranno valide fino domenica 23 alle 8.00. I vincitori saranno annunciati per ogni settimana di Lunedi-Martedi.

Eritrociti, leucociti ( note) , arteria coronoria/ vena (chitarra) , colesterolo (sudore del cuore) , probabilmente il pericardio ( il sasso a sinistra)

Il sasso sembra anche un fegato ridotto molto male.
