How do you make a concept map tracing the blood path through heart?

Answer 1

The left and right pulmonary veins carry oxygen rich blood to the left atrium. There are four of them total and is best seen from a posterior surface view of the heart.

Blood flow of the heart: say we start with the right atrium.

1.) Right atrium

2.) Tricuspid valve ( travels through Chorde Tendineae + Papillary muscles)

3.) Right Ventricle

4.) Pulmonary semilunar valve

5.) Pulmonary Trunk

6.) Left + Right Pulmonary Arteries

7.) ( This is your Pulmonary Circulation through the lungs)

8.) Lungs

9.) Left and right Pulmonary veins

10.) Left atrium

11.) Bicuspid valve (Mitral valve) ( travels through Chorde Tendineae + Papillary muscles)

12.) left ventricle

13.) Aortic semilunar valve

14.) ascending aorta

15.) aortic arch

16.) brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid, or left subclavian artery.Or takes the decending aorta route.

17.)( This is your systemic circulation)

18.) Comes back through veins: Superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, or coronary sinus.

19.) Back into Right atrium

Answer 2

Hello, The way you can do it is make a circular flow of blood. Because the flow of blood is basically a cycle, and there is no end point to it (unless the person dies). You can start off with right atrium, and tell how the deoxygenated blood goes to the lungs and becomes oxygenated again. And good luck with your concept map.

Answer 3

By injecting a non-toxic dye into the blood.
