2. We are going to incorporate traditional teaching methods while integrating technology. The objective of this lesson is to introduce the parts of the heart and the flow of blood through the heart. The student should be able to demonstrate knowledge of the following Human Anatomy topics: describe the location and size of the heart; list the membranes and layers of the heart wall; identify the chambers and the valves; explain the circulation of blood through the heart; recognize the properties of cardiac muscle; recognize the origin of the heart sounds; and describe the factors that control the heart rate and cardiac output.
3. Learning Objectives Describe the internal anatomy of the heart Identify the major blood vessels connected to the heart Describe the blood flow through the heart Distinguish between the systemic and pulmonary circuits Describe the structural and functional specializations of each heart chamber and heart valve Activity to demonstrate sounds produced by the heart: compare a sound byte of a beating heart to an actual heart beat using a stethoscope Activity to learn to measure and record heart rate with a heart rate monitor
4. Day 1 – Introduce Terminology Aorta: Largest blood vessel in the body; the main trunk of the arterial system, conveying blood from the left ventricle of the heart to all of the body except the lungs. Artery: A blood vessel that conveys blood from the heart to any part of the body. Atrioventricular node: Area of specialized tissue that lies near the bottom of the right atrium that fires an electrical impulse across the ventricles, causing them to contract. Atria: Upper heart chambers that receive blood. Diastole: Period of relaxation and expansion of the heart when its chambers fill with blood. Mitral valve: Valve with two cusps that separates the left atrium from the left ventricle. Pericardium: Fibrous sac that encloses the heart. Pulmonary circulation: The circulation of blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation and back to the heart. Sinoatrial node: Area of specialized tissue in the upper area of the right atrium that fires an electrical impulse across the atria, causing them to contract. Systemic circulation: The general circulation of the blood through the body, as opposed to the circulation of the blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart. Systole: Rhythmic contraction of the heat. Tricuspid valve: Fibrous, three-leaflet valve that separates the right atrium from the right ventricle. Vein: One of the system of branching vessels or tubes conveying blood from various parts of the body to the heart. Vena Cava: Either of two large veins discharging blood into the right atrium of the heart, one (superior vena cava or precava) conveying blood from the head, chest, and upper extremities and the other (inferior vena cava or postcava) conveying blood from all parts below the diaphragm. Ventricles: Lower heart chambers that pump blood.
5. Day 1 Have students search the web for information on the circulatory system and blood flow through the heart
6. Day 2 Discuss vocabulary Have students become familiar with structures and take self-quiz http://www.purposegames.com/game/label-the-heart-quiz Stethoscope Activity Listen to heartbeat Compare sound byte to actual heartbeat with stethoscope
7. Day 3 – Blood Flow View animation of blood flow through the heart as it contracts and relaxes using the following website http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/hhw/hhw_pumping.html Take online quiz for Path of Blood http://msjensen.cehd.umn.edu/webanatomy/cardiovascular/cvs_heart_order_list_1.htm Submit worksheet describing blood flow on Friday
8. Day 4 – Heart Rate Monitor Activity Give brief lecture about heart rate monitor Have students measure resting heart rate Have students exercise to measure increased heart rate
9. Day 5 – Quiz!Divide Class into 2 Teams Systemic Circulation Pulmonary Circulation Left side of heart...Body Right side of heart...Lungs
