Learning Objectives

After completing this lab, the students will be able to:

• recognize and describe three components of circulatory system: Heart, Blood vessel (different types), and Blood.
• identify systemic and pulmonary system.
• describe the anatomy of the heart and blood vessels.
• trace the flow of blood through the heart and entire body.
• Identify red and white blood cells and platelets under the microscope.
• distinguish the heart sounds.
• Measure heart rate, pulse rate, and blood pressure.

Videos

View these videos below on YouTube before you continue to the lab activity.

1. The Circulatory System (Bozeman Science)
2. The Heart Dissection (Biologybyme)
3. How to measure the blood pressure (PolyFit CP)

Lab Activity

Please follow the instructions below to begin the experiment.

1. How to measure the blood pressure.
   -You need stethoscope and sphygmomanometer to conduct the experiment.
   -Read the manual of blood pressure background, palpation and auscultation and
   -watch the video before practicing.
   
2. Virtual microscope slide by Peter Takizawa.
   Read the blood cells manual and observe the following blood cells:
   –Erythrocytes
   –Neutrophil
   –Eosinophil
   –Basophil
   –Lymphocyte
   –Monocyte

3. Study the Heart Model slides below and identify their structures.
