The sight of blood might make you feel a bit uneasy, but you couldn't live without it! Blood fl ows around your body all the time, carrying oxygen, removing waste, and fi ghting disease. Blood from the lungs that is full of oxygen is bright red, while used blood from the body is a darker, purplish red.

Blood

CapillariesArteries divide again and again until they are too tiny to be seen with the naked eye. The walls of these capillaries are just one cell thick – oxygen and other substances pass straight through.

VeinsVeins move bloodback to the heart. The blood fl ows more slowly, so vein walls are thinner. Veins have valves to stop the blood from fl owing the wrong way.

ArteriesArteries take blood away from your pumping heart, so they need to be thick to cope with the high pressure. The muscle along the artery wall squeezes the blood along.

A smile is said to use 17 muscles, while a frown uses 43. In your face there are lots of small muscles, which you use to make expressions.

Your body’s largest muscles are made from hundreds of bundles of muscle fi bre.

Your body’s longest muscle is the sartorius on the inner thigh. It gets its name from an old word for tailor. Tailors sat cross-

Your body’s widest muscle is the external oblique, which runs round the side of the upper body.

skeletal muscles.

Skeletal muscles work in pairs

to move your body around.

The most forceful muscle in your body is your masseter, the muscle

you chew with. The masseter can chew with a pressure of up to 165 kilograms!

Plant-eating animals, such ascows, have the strongest masseters. They need all the help they can get to munch up that tough grass.

MY CAReeR with Creata Direct LearningQld Sales Leader 1 Carlien Smithuis

I joined the Learning Ladder, now known as Creata Direct Learning, in 2008, “just because I loved the products”, and I wouldn’t mind being able to buy for my children at a discount.

I was invited to come to the monthly company meetings.

I loved these meetings because of their positive atmosphere and I enjoyed being part of this group of ladies. This feeling of “belonging to” motivated me to start building my own Creata Direct Learning business.

I started booking my parties and looking for people who wanted to be part of my Team, “my Australian family”. So I sponsored a few people and continued to sell some product, and always made sure that I had bookings in my diary to keep selling and sponsoring.

One of the things that I love most about my work is meeting the most amazing people every time you go out. I feel really privileged to make a difference to their

life, and in return I feel very grateful to be able to learn from them too.

In my business, I really enjoy thinking about and finding innovative ways to meet new people. Because of this I am working with people in various walks of life. To give an example: I work with special need schools; with the Gifted and Talented association; home schooling groups; the Union for Childcare workers; sporting clubs; local markets; childcare centres; playgroups, and of course meeting various people at my Get Togethers.

Building my Creata Direct Learning business has been a dream come true. I love working with other like minded people. I love the self development, where I continue to learn new business skills that make me grow as a person, and as a business leader. The satisfaction that I get from this makes me want to stay with the company, and gives me the desire to continue, and to keep growing and building a bigger and better business for the future.

As my Team and business grows, I am looking forward to learning more about myself and others, as I would like to be thought of as an inspirational role model and mentor for the people in my business. I would like to find more women who are interested in personal and professional development and growth, and I hope that I can continue my contribution in helping them with their goals.
