Analyzing the Human Heart

Your heart is only slightly larger than your fist, yet it is more powerful, durable, and hard- working. Its job is to pump blood to the lungs and to all of the body tissues. In this activity, you will use a diagram of the heart to analyze the way in which the heart works.

1. Using the following word list, label the various parts of the heart on the diagram.

Right ventricle Left atrium Right pulmonary arteries

Left ventricle Right atrium Left pulmonary arteries

Upper vena cava Tricuspid valve Right pulmonary veins

Lower vena cava Bicuspid valve Left pulmonary veins

Aorta Septum

2. Color red the structures in the diagram that carry only oxygen-rich blood. Color blue the structures that carry only oxygen-poor blood.

3. Use arrows to show the direction of blood flow.

Answer the following questions.

4. Through which parts of the heart does oxygen-rich blood flow?

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

5. Through which parts of the heart does oxygen-poor blood flow?

6. What is the difference between veins and arteries?

Rheumatic fever is a serious disease in which the joints of the body, the pericardium, and the valves of the heart become inflamed. It can do damage to all parts of the body, especially the heart valves. The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle usually receives the most damage in the form of scar tissue. Masses of scar tissue prevent the valve from closing properly. This also causes the heart to make a gurgling sound that is called a heart murmur.

7. Describe the damage that would occur from rheumatic fever.

The parts of the human blood are shown below. Write what each part does on the line below its picture: help clot blood; transport oxygen; contains nutrients and minerals; help fight infection.

Complete the following table. Possible blood types of the donor are listed horizontally. The possible blood types of the receiver are listed vertically. Make a check in the box if the receiver can receive blood from the donor directly above. Then answer the questions below the table.

Receiver (can receive blood from)

9. Who can receive any type blood? ________________________________________________________
