The Appeal to Nature (also, Biologizing; The Green Fallacy): The contemporary romantic fallacy of ethos (that of Mother Nature) that if something is natural it has to be good, healthy and beneficial. E.g., Our premium herb tea is lovingly brewed from the finest freshly-picked natural T. Radicans leaves.
Found only in the heart, cardiac muscle is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. Cardiac muscle tissue cannot be controlled consciously, so it is an involuntary muscle. While hormones and signals from the brain adjust the rate of contraction, cardiac muscle stimulates itself to contract.
The heart is a pump that creates the pressure that drives the flow of blood throughout the system. The blood vessels serve as passageways that distribute the blood to all parts of the body. The blood is a transport medium for the movement of nutrients into and wastes out of tissues.
