2. Agenda
Today we will travel through the chambers of the heart to understand how blood flows through the body
Materials You Will Need:
Copy of Human Heart sheet
Red and blue colored pencil

3. Step 1: Label Your Structures
Aortic arch
Superior Vena Cava
Pulmonary Trunk (Arteries)
Pulmonary veins
Left Atrium
Pulmonary veins
Tricks to Remember:
Arteries = away
Veins = into
Right Atrium
Tricks to Remember:
Blood from body is blue
Blood from lungs is red
Left Ventricle
Right Ventricle
Dorsal Aorta
Posterior Vena Cava

4. Step 2: How does blood come into the heart from body?
1. De-oxygenated blood moves from upper body through SVC & lower body through PVC 1 4
2. De-oxygenated blood moves into the Right Atrium 2
3. De-oxygenated blood gets into the Right Ventricle
4. De-oxygenated blood gets pumped into the Pulmonary Trunk (arteries) to go to the lungs 3

5. Step 3: How does blood come from the lungs into the heart & out to body?
5. Oxygenated blood moves from the lungs through Pulmonary veins 8 5 5 6
6. Oxygenated blood moves into the Left Atrium
7. Oxygenated blood gets pumped into the Left Ventricle 7
8. Oxygenated blood gets pumped into the Aorta to go to the body

6. Overall Process In & Out of Heart

7. Body Circulation
