Working model of human heart

February is Heart Month which means it is the perfect time to bring some heart science to your lessons. In this activity we built a functioning and unique heart model out of items we had around the house. It was a great biology lesson and lab that tied in perfectly to our discussions about how the heart functions and heart health. Disclaimer: This article may contain commission or affiliate links.

So talking about heart health is something that happens a lot around here. I’m often struggling with attacks and issues due to my heart. It’s an ever present concern and something that can derail our day with no warning. Despite having lots of discussions about “mommy’s bad heart”, we’ve done very little in formal lessons on the heart. It is my plan to do some Whenever we talk about the heart the kids immediately run and pull out their stethoscope. They love listening to their heart, the dog’s heart, my heart. Then they run and jump and get all excited before listening again. Heart Model Video Check out this video of our heart model.

In this science experiment, kids make a working model of the human heart. The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood to different parts of the body through blood vessels. The human heart has 4 chambers: 2 atria and 2 ventricles. The atria are used to receive blood from the body Your heart works alongside your lungs. Every time you breathe, you use your lungs. The lungs are soft, sponge-like organs that expand when filled with air, like a balloon. As you breathe in, your lungs take in oxygen which our blood picks up. This goes to the heart, which then pumps the oxygen-rich blood through your body for your cells to use. Once your cells use the oxygen, they release carbon dioxide back into the blood. This blood goes back to the heart, where it is pumped to the lungs, which then breathe out the carbon dioxide gas. Then your blood picks up more oxygen and the cycle continues. In our heart model, the cup is your heart, the pressing motion from your finger on the balloon is the pumping muscle, the water is your blood, the straw with the balloon on it is the atrial valve that keeps "blood" from pumping out in the wrong direction, and the other, open-ended straw is the ventricle through which the "blood" flows. Cutting off the narrow end of the balloon (approximately 2"), leaving the larger round end. Save the part you cut off to use later. Fill your cup with water. Stretch the balloon over the top of the cup. Poke using a sharp pencil, toothpick or similar, punch 2 holes in th...

One of our many areas of anatomical expertise is 3D human heart animation. Although many people have a general knowledge of how the heart works and functions, few people outside of physicians, researchers, and clinicians grasp how complex an operation of the heart is. Elara is frequently tasked with explaining how medical devices, drugs, and other treatment modalities work in conjunction with the heart. These complex physiological and interventional cardiovascular mechanisms can be simplified, illustrated, and better explained through the use of refined, robust, and visually captivating heart anatomy animations. 3D animation is an essential tool for any company in explaining complex science and driving the sa...

What if physicians and surgeons could virtually analyze their patients’ health and plan therapies and surgeries using the same advanced simulation technology that the automotive, aerospace, energy and hi-tech industries rely on to test their product before they are built? What if medical devices could be designed and safely tested in the virtual world before ever being tested in the real world? IF WE apply the power of realistic simulation to human modeling, we can revolutionize medical care. The Living Heart Projectis unitingleading cardiovascular researchers,educators, medical device developers, regulatory agencies, and practicing cardiologists on a shared mission to develop and validate highly accuratepersonalized digital human heart models.
