Anatomy of the Heart

Assess anatomists' understanding of the structure of the mammalian heart by giving a pretest. Have them visit some websites to further learn about heart anatomy. Then take them into the laboratory to perform a dissection so that they get...

Young scientists get to the heart of the matter with this comprehensive review of the circulatory system. Addressing the different anatomical structures and processes involved in pumping blood through the human body, this activity is a...

Tenth graders examine the different parts of the heart. In this biology lesson plan, 10th graders perform dissection of the fetal pig. They explain how the heart maintains homeostasis.

Compliment your unit on anatomy with this review sheet on blood vessel structure and function. Complete with colorful illustrations to label and study, this worksheet provides an overview of information for class members to read as well...

In this anatomy review learning exercise, students read through notes over the heart, label 11 diagrams and complete 7 review questions.

An all-encompassing, fully interactive, gorgeously animated model of the heart can be used to teach cardiac anatomy, physiology, and even a touch of epidemiology.

The heart has its own electrical supply, and even if separated from a body, will continue to beat. Classes learn about the electricity of the human heart in video 26 of a series of 47. Specifically, they explore pacemaker cells, SA nod,...

Students are able to recite the circulation of blood through the heart's various cavities and valves. They are able to appreciate what the actual valves and chambers of the heart look like. Students also have a clear vision of why the...

If you're looking for copious background information to support study of the human heart, here it is! You can find photos of hearts, and text about the development, structure, systems, and monitoring that support heart function. Also...

Compare a variety of animals' circulatory systems to the human circulatory system. Paul Andersen uses his SMART Board to show the differences between two, three, and four chamber hearts, focusing on the human heart.
