Heart Dissection || Love the Lub-Dub [EDU]

*** This is the educational version of our heart dissection video with labels & graphics ***

How does your heart pump blood? Learn how to dissect a heart in this video, which also covers its external and internal anatomy and physiology. In this simple dissection of a heart, you’ll learn various parts of its physiology, how the heart filters blood, and the chambers of the heart.

The heart is a vital part of the human body. They carry out the extremely important task of pumping blood to the entire body. How do they do it? Their various parts and how they work are fascinating to learn about! Also, did you know that the left ventricle has thicker walls than the right? In this video, you’ll learn general information about the heart, which will be tied into its anatomical structures.

This dissection lab is for anyone who is curious about heart anatomy, wants to cover heart anatomy for a course, missed the heart dissection during biology class, or just wondered, “How does my heart work?”. The video will teach you how to dissect a heart step by step, and review the external and internal anatomy of the heart.

In this video, we’ll cover the following structures:
Auricles
Coronary artery
Right atrium
Vena cava
Right ventricle
Pulmonary artery
Tricuspid valve
Chordae Tendineae (heartstrings)
Papillary muscles
Pulmonary valve
Left atrium
Pulmonary vein
Left ventricle
Mitral (bicuspid) valve
Aorta
Semilunar valve
Myocardium
Epicardium

I have to do this tomorrow in class and I find blood/ organs to be a little unsettling. This really helped me to understand. Thank you.

Good jobs!!
Heart is marvelous & mysterious organ.

congrats u are getting viewsfrom my science teacher

[Cornyone]

I must say that the inside looks nothing like the heart dissection I did.

Everyone using this for science: me using this for agriculture:

[tcupp]

Science class is really gonna make me watch this I guess

[johntalarico]

Didn't really explain the purpose of the auricles. My students will definitely get confused. Everything else was great.
