Based on information provided by the March of Dimes, there are about 120,000 to 160,000 women who live in the United States that have been diagnosed with HIV. Roughly about 6,000 to 7,000 of women diagnosed with HIV give birth every year. Since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic about 15,000 children U.S. have been infected with HIV and 3,000 children have passed. About 90% of those women had the HIV virus during pregnancy or birth.
The answer should be atria. (singlular: atrium)
Since there's 4 heart chambers in human heart, there is the left atrium and the right atrium.
The common function of atria is to receive blood transported from the veins. Which will then be pumped into arteries after leaving the atrium and the ventricle, which is the lower chamber of heart. The right atrium receives blood from the vena cava, which is transported from all the body parts, except lungs, while the left atrium receives blood from the pulmonary veins, which transport blood from the lungs.
Below the atria, there's also valves. When they're open, they allow blood to leave the atria, and towards the ventricle. They tend to open when the blood has too much weight which will push them open.
Usually, atria is smaller than ventricle, as they're not the location for the muscles to pump the blood away from the heart.

Obesity is a physical condition where the BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is over 30%. There are few factors that contribute to obesity, such an over average daily calories intake, the lack of physical exercise and in general the lack of healthy habits in the current lifestyle.
In order to reduce obesity, it is necessary to learn what kinds of foods are good for our body and what are not: there are guidelines from different association, such as the American Society for Nutrition, that indicates that is possible to reduce obesity is possible if people are going to start eating healthy and exercise regularly.
Eating healthy means that there should be plenty of vegetables and fruits incorporate into the diet, where other foods such as red and processed meat should be consumed in small quantity or not at all. Drink plenty of water is another suggestion that is possible to give.
As a young person, I think it is time to take responsibility and starting a more healthy lifestyle, in order to live just as our parents if not more. On the other side, there is the fact that eating unhealthy is sometimes cheaper and easier, while perhaps the school system should encourage and teach us that it is possible to feed ourselves in a way that is going to make us live longer and be healthier.
