Question

I had to write a story about a red blood cell trveling through the circulatory system.. I decided to give it a Jamaican accent...... does this sound okay? ->

Hey. What go on, mon? I’m a red blood cell, much like the ones in your own circulatory system. I’m going to tell you all about my journey through the “river of life”. It’s a personal story, mon, so clean your ears out.
It all started at the old ticker, it seemed like the normal journey that we’d traveled oh so many times before. I, like all the other red blood cells, was thrilled to play such an important role; carrying life through

Answer 1

**It was kind of hard to understand the exact path that blood travels, it didn’t really specify in the lesson. I hope this was accurate!  And remember, don’t listen to them clots mon!

Answer 2

carrying life through this vast system is an honor!
We could start where I was, and all red blood cells are, produced, in the heads of long bones –in bone marrow- but that’s too far back, you know what I mean mon?

So first, we will start this story by telling what happened after we entered the Right Atrium as deoxygenated blood -and mon, I remember, I felt like a waste bucket, from all that carbon dioxide I had picked up from the cells going through cellular respiration, weighing me down- where we then traveled through the Right Ventricle and the Pulmonary Artery to the Lungs. Once in the Lungs, we pack up as much oxygen as we could carry, and might I remind you that the oxygen binds to the hemoglobin in the blood. It has been said many of times, many of ways, but what you choose to believe is up to you. I, however, believe that at the same one time as we are traveling through our system the oxygen is going through its own, filing in through the nose, where it gets filtered and moistened. From the nose through the Pharynx (throat) to the Larynx, this contains the vocal cords. From the Larynx through the Trachea, where food and water is separated from oxygen, and on through the large tubes called Bronchi to the Lungs, where the oxygen is packed into tiny sacs called alveoli. It’s the truth, mon! After we gather the oxygen, it’s back to the heart for us. This pathway, we call it Pulmonary circulation.

Answer 3

We enter the “Ruby Palace”, as some like to call it, through the Pulmonary Vein –what an old stickler, you have to be oxygenated plasma to enter!-. From there we go through the Left Atrium and the Left Ventricle to the Aorta, where we exit the heart into the arteries, and into the complicated pathway through blood vessels that we refer to as Systemic circulation. The arteries branch off into capillaries; these are so narrow that we have to file through single file. This is where we exchange gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, with other cells. Then on to the veins we went. We were almost there, to start the journey once more. It’s straight to the Superior Vena Cava of the heart from the veins, then to the Right Atrium. But, that’s when I first noticed them. They must have been there all along, flowing with us. White blood cells, such beautiful soldiers. The vein constricted, tightened around us. We’ve all heard stories of this, but none of us were prepared. How can you prepare for a cut to a vein? Platelets flowed over the cut, plugging it. The white blood cells must make sure there aren’t any infections. Some of the other red blood cells must have gotten stuck to the wound with the platelets, they were never seen again.

Answer 4

Well that’s my story, and if any clots tell you differently, well don’t listen cause they a bunch of fools mon! I was fortunate to survive!

Answer 5

I love it. @TraceNova and @Preetha will also love it. :)
