Lesson 23: Dissection of sheep's heart

Hi,

You may still remember our sheep's heart dissection. here are slides that may help recall our lesson and more. Recall the following concept when viewing these 38 slides:
  • blood circulation in body
  • blood flow through the 4 chambers of the heart
  • sheep's heart cut open,showing relative thicknesses of the atria, left ventricle and right ventricle, aorta, vena cava and pulmonary arteries and veins
  • diastole and systole, Wigglers diagram
  • cardiac cycle, about 0.7 sec, showing pressure changes in aorta, left atrium and left ventricle
  • large, diagram to show aorta and its supply to all organs of the body
  • pulmonary artery and how it supplies the alveoli
  • detailed annotated diagrams of arteries, veins and capillaries
  • some X-ray pictures to show path of blood in major blood vessels
(Mitral valve is the old name for bicuspid valves that you find in your textbooks.)



Cheers
