Parts of the Heart

1. Atria – the two upper chambers of the heart that receives blood and sends it to the ventricles.

 Right Atrium – receives deoxygenated blood from the different parts of the body.
 Left Atrium – receives oxygenated blood from the lungs

Once both atria are full, they contract to send the blood to the lower chamber

2. Ventricles – the two lower chambers that sends/pumps blood out of the heart.

- have thicker walls than the atria to withstand higher blood pressure

 Right Ventricle – sends deoxygenated blood to the lungs

 Left Ventricle – sends oxygenated blood to the rest of the body except the lungs.

Once both ventricles are full, they contract to pump the blood to the different parts. The left
ventricle is thicker to withstand the pressure in pumping the blood to a longer distance.

3. Superior Vena Cava – one of the two main veins bringing deoxygenated blood from the body to the
heart; comes from the head and upper body

4. Inferior Vena Cava – one of the two main veins bringing deoxygenated blood to the heart but this
time from the legs and lover part of the body.

5. Septum - the dividing wall between the right and left sides of the heart. (interatrial vs interventricular)

6. Valves – structures that allows blood to flow only in one direction through the chambers of the heart.

 Tricuspid valve – found between the right atrium and right ventricle. (three cusps or leaflet like
structures)
 Pulmonary valve – separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery.
 Bicuspid/Mitral valve - found between the left atrium and the left ventricle. (two cusps or leaflet
like structures)
 Aortic Valve – separates the left ventricle from the aorta

7. Pulmonary Artery – the vessel that transports deoxygenated blood to the lungs from the right
ventricle.

8. Pulmonary Veins – the vessel that transports oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left ventricle.

9. Aorta – the central artery from the heart to the different parts of the body; carries oxygenated blood
from the left ventricle as it contracts. (Largest blood vessel – diameter of the thumb)
Flow of the Lesson

 Do you agree na kapag tumibok ang puso wala ka ng magagawa kundi sundin ito..
 What really is the function of the heart?
 Ang tanong ano ba ang nasa puso ninyo ngayon? Or shall we say sino ba? Call volunteers.
 We will find out today sino ba tlga ang nsa puso?
 Draw the heart on the board on your notebooks then using your books name the parts. You can
use arrows to complete it. 20 minutes
 Discussion on the parts.
 Flow.
 Call a volunteer using the unlabeled one.
 Assignment – Do activity on book (Flow of blood) using art materials. Be creative. To be
submitted on Monday. Several volunteers will be called to present their work. Prepare also for a
graded recitation.

G7 Flow of Lesson

 Review ulit ng variables

 Bakit need ng control?
 Introduce Fair Testing
 Fair Test – changing only one variable at a time while keeping all other conditions the same;
making sure that the sole independent variable is really the cause of change in the experiment.
 Activity
 Discussion
 Remind of review quiz bee on Monday
