part/organ. labelling_interactives/1-label-the-heart
o It is a hollow muscular organ located in the
chest cavity between the lungs surrounded by
cardiac muscles (myocardium).

o It is covered by a protective fluid sac

connective tissue that is filled with fluid called
epicardium.
o It has septum that separates the right and left
sides of the heart.
o It enables to contract and beat.
o It pumps blood through blood vessels
by repeated rhythmic contractions and
pumps away the oxygenated blood
through arteries and returns to the
heart with deoxygenated blood.
CHAMBERS OF THE HEART
LEFT and RIGHT VENTRICLES
o These are the pumping chambers
from the heart to the different body
parts.
LEFT and RIGHT ATRIA
o These are the receiving chambers of
the heart from the different parts of
the body.
VALVES
BICUSPID and TRICUSPID VALVES
o These are the overlapping layers of
tissue that allow blood to flow only in
one direction.
AORTIC and PULMONARY VALVES
o These are valves that allow blood to
move to the lungs and to the rest of
the body through the ventricles.
AORTA
o It is the largest artery of the
body that carries blood away
from your heart to the rest of
your body.
VENA CAVA
INFERIOR VENA CAVA
o It is one of the largest vein and responsible for
transporting deoxygenated blood from the
abdomen and lower part of the body back to the
right side of the heart for oxygenated blood.

SUPERIOR VENA CAVA

o It is one of the largest vein and responsible for
receiving blood from the head, neck, upper
extremities, and body and delivers it to the right
atrium of the heart.
o Blood is a body fluid that circulate throughout
the body to bring oxygen, nutrients and
hormones to the cell, removes carbon dioxide
and metabolic wastes, fights infections and
diseases and regulates body temperature.

o Blood is composed of plasma (clear

yellowish fluid) that comprises about
55% of the blood volume and solid part
(RBC, WBC and platelets) that
comprises 45% of the blood by volume.
RED BLOOD CELLS (RBC)
o These are also known as the
erythrocytes.
o Red blood cells are biconcave disk that
pick up oxygen in the lungs and
transport it to all the cells and remove
carbon dioxide.
o RBCs are red in color due to
hemoglobin, an iron containing
oxygen transport protein.

UNDER A MICROSCOPE
WHITE BLOOD CELLS (WBC)
o These are also known as the leukocytes.
o White blood cells are irregular in shape,
nucleated and lacks hemoglobin.
o WBCs protects the body against infections
such as bacteria, viruses and fungi.
o WBCs are phagocytes and can produce
antibodies and circulate to the blood to attack
foreign bodies.

o WBCs are in several varieties:

neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils,
monocytes and lymphocytes.

PLATELETS
o These are also known as the
thrombocytes.
o Platelets are smallest blood cell,
does not have nucleus and
irregular in shape.
o They are designed to begin the
process of coagulation or blood
clotting.
o Blood vessels are the vast networks
of small tubes that carry blood
throughout your body.

o Blood vessels are divided into three

types: ARTERIES, VEINS and
CAPILLARIES.
o These are blood vessels that
carry oxygenated blood away
from the heart.
o These are blood vessels that
carry deoxygenated blood back
to the heart.
o These are the smallest blood vessels that
serve as a connection between arteries
and veins.
o They are responsible for distribution of
nutrients and oxygen to the cells.
CARDIAC CYCLE
- It is a sequence of events that has two phases:
systolic phase and diastolic phase. It occurs
every one heartbeat.
SYSTOLIC PHASE (“lub” sound)
- It happens when ventricle contracts and when
the valves between the atria and ventricles are
close.
DIASTOLIC PHASE (“dub” sound)
- It happens when the semilunar valves
within the blood cells are connected to
the heart.
- It is the pressure that blood exerts
on the blood vessels.
- In getting the blood pressure,
sphygmomanometer is used.
Example: 120 / 80
120 – systolic pressure (maximum
pressure exerted during contraction)
80 – diastolic pressure (minimum
pressure exerted during relaxation)
