Heart
Description
The heart is a hardworking organ that makes sure every muscle, tissue, and cell in the body gets just what it needs. In this episode, Dr. Alice Roberts puts her own heart to the test when she rides in a stunt plane performing acrobatics. She discovers what happens to her heart rate under stress. When she's back on the ground, she visits a pub and a chip shop to analyze what happens to her heart when she's drinking alcohol and eating chips. She finds out why a couple of alcoholic drinks are good for the heart and sees for herself just how greasy fat from chips looks when it enters her bloodstream.
