Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, wetin na di karotid at?

Imajin se wi bɔdi na big siti. Dɔn di blɔd vesel dɛn tan lɛk di rod dɛn na da siti de. Dɛn rod ya kin kɛr di ɔksijɛn ɛn tin dɛn we wi nid fɔ go na ɔl di pat dɛn na di bɔdi. da we de, dεn carotid atεri dεm ya lεk tu men aywe dεm we de go na di bren, we na di kכntrol sεntr fכ wi bכdi.

Dɛn tu men at ya de na di tu say dɛn na wi nɛk, wan na ɛni say:
