The heart receives its own supply of blood from a network of arteries, called the coronary arteries. Two major coronary arteries branch off from the aorta near the point where the aorta and the left ventricle meet:
Walton, Ernest Thomas Sinton - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up) (1903-95), Irish physicist. Born in County Waterford, Ireland, Walton, with Sir John D. Cockcroft, received the 1951 Nobel prize in physics for the development of the first nuclear-particle accelerator.
Rutherford reasoned that if Thomson's model was correct then the mass of the atom was spread out throughout the atom. Then, if he shot high velocity alpha particles (helium nuclei) at an atom then there would be very little to deflect the alpha particles.He decided to test this with a thin film of gold atoms.owever, it was not clear how these protons and electrons were arranged within the atom. J.J. Thomson suggested theplum pudding model. In this model the electrons and protons are uniformly mixed throughout the atom: Rutherford tested Thomson's hypothesis by devising his gold foil experiment.
