Introduction
All of the editors were on Google Meet for some last-minute studying before the final biology exam.
“Guys, I’m so nervous. I don’t remember anything regarding the anatomy of the heart,” exclaimed Wendy as she anxiously flipped through her notes.
“It’ll be okay, just take a deep breath,” said Mohammed, “Remember the basics.”
“Arteries carry blood away from the heart to the tissues,” stated Joseph, reading the textbook word for word.
“Whereas veins carry blood to the heart from the tissues!” exclaimed Janet, who apparently memorized the textbook word for word.
“And don’t forget about the capillaries; they are the smallest vessels within the tissues where gas exchange takes place,” added Daniel.
“Don’t fret too much about the anatomy of the heart, it’s a small portion of the exam because Ms. Anatomical didn’t spend too much class time talking about it,” declared Jessica.
“Thanks guys, I appreciate it a lot,” said Wendy.
The editors took their exam and got excellent marks. Their extensive studying paid off!
