Heart and Circulation: Four Chambers Moving Blood
Explore atria, ventricles, valves, pulmonary circulation, and systemic circulation with a diagrammatic 3D model.
The heart is two pumps that drive two loops on the same beat
Before memorizing the heart by the names of its four chambers, read it as a double pump — the right side sends to the lungs, the left to the whole body. The blue pulmonary loop and the red systemic loop are separate loops yet connected on the same beat.
Background: Heart physiology .
Play the 30-second discovery sequence and follow where the blue loop and the red loop return to the heart.
First DiscoveryThe heart is two pumps that drive two loops at the same time
The blue pulmonary loop and the red systemic loop are pushed out from left and right on the same beat.
