The heart and blood, sentence 7

The pulse is the stretch of an artery each time the heart pumps; you can feel it on the wrist or neck, and it gets faster when you run, because working muscles need more oxygen; a fright makes it faster too, as the body gets ready to run.

Who acts: pulse, heart, you, working muscles, fright, body · What happens: be, pump, feel, get, run, work · To what, where: stretch, heart, wrist, more oxygen

This is a sentence of the lesson «The heart and blood» of the biology course of Mova's primary school.
