1 Minute Heart Diagram
1. Begin by drawing a Valentine style heart.
2. Next draw the letters “moom”: they are like a bird, circle, circle, bird across the
middle/top of the heart. Label these as the four valves. Label them from left to
right: Tricuspid valve (TV), pulmonary valve (PV), aortic valve (AV), and
bicuspid valve (BV).
3. Add the interventricular septum slanting towards the right side of the heart
forming the ventricles and label it (IVS). Now label the 4 chambers of the heart:
right atrium (RA), left atrium (LA), right Ventricle (RV), and left ventricle (LV).
4. Add the pulmonary trunk coming out of the first “o” in “moom”, the pulmonary
valve, slanting it to the left and label it (PT). Form branches off the PT to left and
right as pulmonary arteries going to the lungs and label each side as (PA).
5. Add the aorta/aortic arch going behind the pulmonary artery from the second “o”
in “moom” labeling it (AA) and bend it down behind the left side of the heart
showing the descending aorta and label it (DA).
6. Add the left and right pulmonary veins (PV) entering the left atrium.
7. Add the superior (SVC) and inferior vena cava (IVC) entering the right atrium.
8. Now add arrows in blue and red to show the 2 pumps of the heart. The right
deoxygenated pump carrying blood to the lungs to be cleaned. And the left, red,
pump, which contains clean, oxygenated blood returning from the lungs and being
pumped to the body. Both pumps work at the same time.
