Heart Anatomy and Function Concepts

Miss Kaiser introduces the anatomy of the heart, focusing on its exterior. She explains the heart's function as two pumps, one for the lungs and one for the body, using blue for deoxygenated and red for oxygenated blood. The video covers the anterior view of the heart, detailing the right and left sides, including the atriums, ventricles, and major vessels like the vena cavas and aorta. The apex and coronary arteries are also discussed, emphasizing their roles and the potential for heart attacks. The video concludes with study tips and a reminder to label parts correctly.
