Heart Information
Welcome to the Heart Simulation
Click on any part of the heart to learn about its structure and function. The simulation shows the flow of oxygenated (red) and deoxygenated (blue) blood through the cardiovascular system.
The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood through the circulatory system. It beats approximately 100,000 times per day, pumping about 2,000 gallons of blood.
Cardiac Cycle
The cardiac cycle consists of two phases:
- Systole: Contraction phase when the heart pumps blood
- Diastole: Relaxation phase when the heart fills with blood
Blood Flow Pathway
- Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium via the vena cava
- Blood flows to the right ventricle and is pumped to the lungs via pulmonary arteries
- Oxygenated blood returns via pulmonary veins to the left atrium
- Blood flows to the left ventricle and is pumped to the body via the aorta
