“Heart Smarts” Anatomy of
the Heart
Pumps your Blood
John Peters, EMT-LP
Hereford High School
Do you know these already?

Identify the 4 chambers,
the 2 sides and 4 valves of
the heart

Define the medical terms
associated with the heart

Discuss how the blood
flows through the heart

Distinguish between the
Right and Left side of the
heart

Understand where the
blood flows after it leaves
the heart (Lungs and Body)

Compare and contrast
Oxygenated and
Deoxygenated blood
You will by the end of this class!
The Heart is an Organ

The heart has two sides, the Right and Left separated by
the Septum

The heart has upper and lower chambers, the Atria and the
Ventricles
The 2 Sides of the Heart

The right side of the heart – to the lungs

The left side of the heart – to the body

The upper and lower chambers of the heart
– The Atria

The Right Atrium and the Left Atrium
– The Ventricles

The Right Ventricle and the Left Ventricle
Distinguish between the Right
and Left side of the heart
The Right side of the heart pumps Deoxygenated blood to
the lungs
A Low Pressure Pump
Separated by the Septum
The Left side of the heart pumps Oxygenated blood to the
body
A High Pressure Pump
The Left side of the heart is larger and thicker than the right side of
the heart (3 times as thick)
The 4 Valves of the Heart
Tricuspid
Pulmonary
Mitral
(Bicuspid); and
Aortic

Arterioles

Capillaries
where the O2 and CO2exchange – a process known
as “internal respiration”
as opposed to “external respiration”
when we breathe

Venules

Veins

Superior and Inferior vena cava
After the Oxygenated blood leaves
the heart where does it go?

"PUMP YOUR BLOOD" SONG
VERSE ONE
Pump, pump, pumps your Blood.
The Right atrium’s where the process begins, where the CO2 Blood
enters the heart.
Through the tricuspid valve, to the Right ventricle, the pulmonary
artery, and lungs.
Once inside the lungs, it dumps its carbon dioxide and picks up its
oxygen supply.
Then it’s back to the heart through the pulmonary vein, through the
atrium and Left ventricle.
Pump, pump, pumps your Blood.
After the body uses the oxygen and nutrients
where does the deoxygenated blood go?
Cells
 Venules
 Veins
 Pulmonary Vein

"PUMP YOUR BLOOD" SONG - VERSE
TWO
Pump, pump, pumps your Blood.
The aortic valve’s, where the Blood leaves the heart, then channeled
to the rest of the bod.
The arteries, arterioles, and capillaries too bring the oxygenated
Blood to the cells.
The tissues and the cells trade off waste and CO2, which is carried
through the venules and the veins, through the larger vena cava to
the atrium and lungs, and we're back to where we started in the
heart.
Pump, pump, pumps your Blood.

Summary

Do you know the two sides of

the heart?

Do you know the names of the
deoxygenated blood?

upper and lower chambers of
the heart?

Do you know what is
oxygenated blood?

Do you know the 4 valves of
the heart?
Do you know what is
Do you know how the blood
flows through the heart?

Do you know how the blood
flows through the circulatory
system?

Worksheet
– Label the diagram, use the
words from the song and
the Heart Anatomy
Glossary to track the flow
of blood through the heart.

Music Contest
– Develop a new version of
the “Pumps Your Blood”
song. The winner will get
to make a music video and
have it posted as a Podcast
on the school website.
QuickTime™ and a
Cinepak decompressor
