The Carol of the Pulmonary Capillary (tune “Do You Hear What I Hear”) Written by: Dr. Kent Van De Graaff | |
Said the trachea to the little lung “Do you see what I see? In this body warm, little lung. Do you see what I see? Some blood, some blood running through a vein, Wanting oxygen to gain, wanting oxygen to gain” Said the little lung to the bronchioles, “Do you hear what I hear? Coming from the heart, bronchioles, Do you hear what I hear? The AV valves closing happily, It’s time for systole, It is time for systole” Said the bronchioles to the alveoli, “Do you know what I know? In your tiny sacs, alveoli Do you know what I know? RBC’s are bringing CO2 They wish to exchange gas with you They wish to exchange gas with you.” Said the alveoli to the molecules, “Listen to what I say. Little oxygen molecules, Listen to what I say. Squeeze through my simple squamous epithelium Then grab on to a hemoglobin Then grab on to a hemoglobin.” | |
