Learning Area 1: Heart Chambers

Source: [Link]
heart-chambers

Read This:
The heart has four chambers that work
together to pump blood throughout the body.
Two bottom chambers: right ventricle and the
left ventricle – pumps blood out of the heart.
The two top chambers: right atrium and left
atrium – receive the blood entering the heart.
The right atrium collects oxygen-poor blood
from the body and sends it to the right
ventricle, which then pumps it to the lungs to
receive oxygen. The left atrium receives
oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and sends it
to the left ventricle, the strongest chamber,
which pumps the blood to the rest of the body.
These chambers are essential for separating
oxygenated and deoxygenated blood and
keeping the circulatory system flowing properly.
Blood Flow:
Body → Right Atrium → Right Ventricle →
Lungs → Left Atrium → Left Ventricle → Body

Questions:
1. What are the chambers of the heart?
2. What is the function of heart chambers?
3. What kind of blood (oxygen-rich or
oxygen-poor) is found in each
chamber?

Learning Area 2: Heart Valves

Source: [Link]
heart-works

Read This:
The heart valves are like gates that control the
direction of blood flow. Each valve opens to let
blood move forward and closes to stop it from
going backward. The tricuspid valve is found
between the right atrium and right ventricle, and
the mitral valve is between the left atrium and
left ventricle. The pulmonary valve controls
flow from the right ventricle and carry
deoxygenated blood to the lungs, and the
aortic valve directs oxygen-rich blood from the
left ventricle to the aorta and then the body.
These valves keep blood flowing in the right
direction. Function:
Valves prevent backflow of blood and keep it
moving one way through the heart.

Questions:
1. What are the valves of human heart?
2. What do heart valves do?
3. How do valves help in one-way blood
flow?

Learning Area 3: Heart Veins and Arteries

Source: [Link]
 conditions/cardiac-conditions/basics-of-the-heart/

Read This:
Veins and arteries are the major highways of
the circulatory system. Veins carry blood to the
heart, and arteries carry blood away from the
heart. The superior and inferior vena cava
bring oxygen-poor blood from the body into the
heart. From there, the blood travels to the lungs
through the pulmonary arteries. Once the
blood gets oxygen, it returns to the heart
through the pulmonary veins. Finally, the
aorta, the body's largest artery, carries oxygen-
rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
 Superior/Inferior Vena Cava – bring
oxygen-poor blood from the body to the
heart
 Pulmonary Arteries – carry blood from
heart to lungs
 Pulmonary Veins – carry oxygen-rich
blood from lungs to heart
 Aorta – carries oxygen-rich blood from
heart to the body
Blood Flow Path:
Body → Vena Cava → Heart → Lungs →
Pulmonary Veins → Heart → Aorta → Body

Questions:
1. What are the veins and arteries that can
be found in the heart?
2. Which blood vessels carry blood away
from the heart? Which carry blood to the
heart?
3. Why is the aorta important?

generalizations
and abstractions The human heart is a muscular organ located
about the lesson slightly to the left of the chest. It is the main
organ of the circulatory system, and its main
job is to pump and circulate blood throughout
the body. This blood carries oxygen and
nutrients to every cell, and also removes waste
products.

The structure of the heart is organized into

three main parts:

The chambers which store and pumps blood:

- Right Atrium – receives
oxygen-poor blood from the
body
- Right Ventricle – pumps blood
to the lungs
- Left Atrium – receives oxygen-
rich blood from the lungs
- Left Ventricle – pumps oxygen-
rich blood to the body

Then, valves which controls the blood flow

direction
- Tricuspid Valve – controls
blood flow from right atrium to
right ventricle
- Pulmonary Valve – controls
blood flow from right ventricle to
lungs
- Mitral Valve – controls blood
flow from left atrium to left
ventricle
- Aortic Valve – controls blood
flow from left ventricle to the
body

Lastly, Veins – carry blood to the heart

 - Example: Vena cava, Pulmonary
veins

Arteries – carry blood away from the heart

- Example: Aorta, Pulmonary

artery

The Flow of Blood:

Deoxygenated blood comes from the body and

enters the right atrium through large veins
called the superior and inferior vena cava.

From the right atrium, blood passes through the

tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.

When the right ventricle contracts, it pushes the

blood through the pulmonary valve and into the
pulmonary artery.

The pulmonary artery split into right and left

pulmonary arteries, which carry the blood to the
lungs.
→ In the lungs, gas exchange happens - the
blood drops off carbon dioxide (CO₂) and picks
up oxygen (O₂).

The now oxygenated blood returns to the heart

through the pulmonary veins and enters the left
atrium.

Blood flows through the mitral valve into the left

ventricle.

When the left ventricle contracts, it forces the

blood through the aortic valve into the aorta,
the largest artery in the body.

The oxygen-rich blood is now sent out from the

aorta to the entire body, delivering oxygen and
nutrients to all the organs and tissues.
→ At the same time, it collects carbon dioxide
and waste products from the cells.

After delivering oxygen and picking up carbon

dioxide, the blood returns to the right atrium of
the heart through the vena cava, and the cycle
starts all over again.

your knowledge and see if you can apply what
you’ve learned."

“I have here your worksheet. I’ll distribute it,

right your name and section. Answer it
individually and read the instructions carefully.
Part I: Identification
Instruction: Identify the parts of the heart and
provide a short description of its function.

1. Right atrium - Receives

oxygen-poor blood from
the body through the
superior and inferior vena
cava.
2. Left atrium - Receives
oxygen-rich blood from the
lungs through the

from the upper parts of the
body to the right atrium.
4. Aorta - The largest artery
that carries oxygen-rich
blood from the left ventricle
to the rest of the body.
5. Pulmonary artery -
Carries oxygen-poor blood
from the right ventricle to
the lungs for oxygenation.
6. Pulmonary veins - Carry
oxygen-rich blood from the
lungs to the left atrium.
7. Mitral valve - Controls
blood flow from the left
atrium to the left ventricle
and prevents backflow.
8. Aortic valve - Regulates
blood flow from the left

9. Left ventricle - Pumps
oxygen-rich blood to the
body through the aorta.
10. Right ventricle - Pumps
oxygen-poor blood to the
lungs through the

application or
remediation A patient is diagnosed with a damaged
mitral valve that does not close properly.
This condition causes some of the blood to
flow backward from the left ventricle into
the left atrium instead of moving forward
into the aorta.

Questions:
1. How would this condition affect the flow
of oxygen-rich blood in the heart?
2. What could be the possible effects on
the rest of the body if less oxygenated
blood is pumped out through the aorta?
3. Why is proper valve function important
to overall circulation?
