Heart

Aorta, Superior and Inferior vena cava, Pulmonary trunk, left and right atrium, left and right ventricle, Pulmonary veins

大動脈、上下大静脈、肺動脈、左心房・右心房、左心室・右心室、肺静脈

普段日本語では言い慣れない言葉ですが、英語の普段の会話には出てきたりします。なぜなら、アメリカでは医学医療分野の情報は日本ほど閉鎖されておらず、医師が患者に対してこういう語彙を使って疾患や症状を説明する場合が多く、患者もまたそれを習い使っています。

Task: Summarize the lecture orally in one minute.

A. The heart sits right in the center of the rib cage and between the two lungs. Below that, there is an important muscle, the diaphragm. By all of the above, called the thorax,  the heart is protected and cased.

The body cells need nutrients oxygen, as well as their waste carbon dioxide to be removed. The main function of the heart is to provide the blood flow.

The functions of the heart are:

1) works as a pump to move blood constantly throughout the body, providing the systemic flow of blood. Blood is going out of the artery, the aorta, coming into a tubing through the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava dragging blood in from all over the body into the heart.

2) also provides the pulmonary flow for blood to drop the waste carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen. Before the heart sends out the blood, the heart sends it over to the lungs; after blood comes back into the heart from the lungs, it is pushed out of the aorta.

3) has blood vessels all over it called coronary vessels that serve the heart itself. This flow of blood falls under the systemic flow.

flip a coin

数学というのは、計算をして解を得ることと考えがちですが、その考え方や概念は学校ではもちろん、ビジネスでは日常使われていることです。これを英語で話せることは、英語学習者には不可欠です。

数学を英語で話す機会はほとんどないと思いますので、書いておきます。

Q: Explain the basic concept of probability according to the lecture.

A. A basic concept of probability is explained in this video. A “fair” coin means that it has an “equal chance” of landing on one side or another when you flip it; landing on either side is “equally likely” to occur. One side is called “heads” and another “tails.” The probability is obtained by dividing the number of possibilities that meet the conditions by the number of equally likely possibilities. If you run an experiment of this fundamentally random event of getting heads by flipping a coin many times, the result would eventually converge to 50%. If you roll a “fair” die, there are six equally likely possibilities and the probability of rolling one side is one out of six; while the probability of rolling one or three is one out of three; however, the probability of rolling two “and” three is zero because rolling two “and” rolling three are “mutually exclusive” events.
