How does the blood move around the body? What is the role of the heart in bringing blood to all the different parts of the body?
Watch and see as Leslie gives an overview of the Circulatory System, the first in this series. Enjoy!
Transcript of Today’s Episode
Hello and welcome to another episode of Interactive Biology TV where we’re making Biology fun! My name is Leslie Samuel and in this episode, Episode 44, I am going to be talking about how blood flows through the heart.
This is going to be the first video in the Circulatory System series. So, let’s get right into it.
Here, we are looking at two pictures of the heart. On your left, we’re looking at the heart when it’s being filled with blood. On the right, we’re looking at the heart when it’s pumping the blood out of the heart. We’re going to look at a number of details here just to give an overview of how the blood flows through the heart.
In order to understand how the blood flows through the heart, we need to look at the valves that are found in the different parts of the heart. First of all, allow me to point out that this is the right side of the heart so, this is right. Over here, we have the left side of the heart. Now, that looks a little strange because when you’re looking at the screen, this is your left and this is your right. But, this is looking at it as an individual that’s facing you. This would be his right side and this would be the left side.
There are a number of valves that are found throughout the heart. There are a number of parts of the heart that we need to know. The first thing I want to point out is here, we have the right atrium and the left atrium. So, this chamber is the left atrium. This chamber is the right atrium. Then, we have the right ventricle and the left ventricle. Same thing over here, we have the right ventricle, left ventricle; right atrium and left atrium.
The next thing I want to point out is that between the atria and the ventricles, we have what we call the atrioventricular valve. And that makes sense since it’s between the atria and the ventricle. So, here we have an atrioventricular valve, here we have an atrioventricular valve. Now, on the right side, we also call this atrioventricular valve a tricuspid valve. We call it “tricuspid” because it has three cusps, in other words, three flaps. You’re only seeing two here but, that’s because this is a cross-section. Then, on the left side, we have what we call the left atrioventricular valve which is also known as the mitral valve or the bicuspid valve.
I’m just giving you these different names so that if you go and read a textbook and it says one of these, you know exactly what it’s talking about. So, we have the tricuspid or the right atrioventricular valve and the bicuspid or the mitral or the left atrioventricular valve.
Then, we have valves that allow blood to leave the ventricles. On the right side, we have the right semilunar valve and that is also called the pulmonary valve. The reason it’s called a pulmonary valve is because it leads into the pulmonary artery. On the left, we have this semilunar valve which we can also call the aortic valve. We call it the aortic valve because it leads into the aorta. So, these are the different names and I want you to know these names: tricuspid, bicuspid, mitral, atrioventricular, aortic, semilunar, which is the pulmonary and the aortic. Those are the valves that I want you to be familiar with.
The special thing about valves is that it allows for blood to flow in one direction. So, here you can see blood can flow into the ventricle but, it can’t flow back. If it tries to flow back, these valves are going to shut. So, all of these valves are one-way valves. They allow for blood to flow in one direction.
Now that we know the different valves, let’s look at how blood flow happens.
Blood comes back from the body and it enters into the heart via the vena cava. So, you can see blood is flowing into the vena cava. We have the posterior vena cava and we have the anterior vena cava. Blood is coming in, entering into the right atrium. As it enters into the right atrium, the atrium contracts and that pushes the blood into the right ventricle. Once the blood gets into the right ventricle, the ventricle contracts and that pushes the blood through the semilunar valve or the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery. And from here, that blood goes to the lungs. And, it goes also in this direction to the lungs. Once the blood goes to the lungs, it picks up, you guessed it, oxygen because you’re breathing in the oxygen. That oxygen aids the blood. Once the blood gets oxygen aided, it leaves the lungs and goes via the pulmonary veins into the left atrium.
The left atrium contracts sending the blood through the left atrioventricular valve into the left ventricle. Once the blood is in the left ventricle, the left ventricle contracts and that sends the blood through the semilunar valve or the aortic valve in this case, into the aorta, and then, that blood can go to the rest of the body. I know this looks a little confusing with all of these arrows but, let’s follow that one more time. Blood comes from the body. It enters via the posterior and anterior vena cava into the right atrium. The right atrium contracts and that pushes the blood through the tricuspid valve or the right atrioventricular valve into the ventricle. The ventricle contracts and that pushes the blood via the semilunar valve or the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary arteries that go to the lungs, picks up oxygen, then it comes back oxygenated via the pulmonary veins into the left atrium. The left atrium contracts and that pushes the blood into the left ventricle. The ventricle contracts, pushing the blood via the aortic valve or the semilunar valve to the aorta and out to the rest of the body. So, the function of the heart is basically to pump the blood to the body, to send the blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen, and then to send that oxygenated blood to the muscles and to the organs that need it.
Once the muscles and the organs that need it, once they use that oxygen, the blood comes back via the vena cava to the heart. The process can continue over and over again. I have these two over here and you can see, this shows the heart filling with blood and, this shows when the ventricles actually contract and send the blood out to the lungs and to the rest of the body via the aorta.
There’s one thing I’d like to emphasize though. I say that, first the right atrium contracts and then the right ventricle contracts, and I’m saying that just because I’m showing it one at a time. But, both atria contracts simultaneously and both ventricles contract simultaneously. So, that while this process is happening, this process is also happening. Blood is being pumped to the lungs. At the same time, it’s being pumped to the rest of the body. That gives you a general introduction into the circulatory system by showing you how the heart pumps blood.
As usual, you can visit the website at Interactive-Biology.com for more Biology videos and other resources. That’s all for this video, my name is Leslie Samuel and I’ll see you on the next one.
Great site! Thank you! 🙂
You are very much welcome Lisa 🙂
Thanks Leslie for your videos. There are very good teaching material. I am a doctor from Sri Lanka. I am responding to the question on terminology raised by Livinglifehigh as to whether it is correct to call them posterior and anterior vena cava or Inferior and superior vena cava.
In man, they are called Inferior and superior vena cava as man is biped and when standing upright it is inferior and superior in its orientation to the heart.
However, I can imagine you being a biologist and all animals are mainly quadruped the ‘superior vena cava’ becomes ‘anterior vena cava’ and ‘Inferior vena cava’ becomes ‘posterior vena cava’. This is my guess why you call it so. So I think both terminologies are acceptable.
Heyy, thank you so much for your input. I really appreciate it. The more people chime in, the better!
There seems to be a problem downloading the video for 044 How Blood Flows Through the Heart, it says I need a password, other videos have downloaded Ok – Great site though
Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve fixed the download link.
All the best!
@shawnagh You’re very much welcome. We’re happy to know that we were able to clarify things for you. Stay tuned, because we have more videos coming!
I am so glad I found this video. We are studying Cardiovascular system in A & P now and I just could not grasp the flow, but now I totally understand.
@shanaspeck Leslie explains them as simply as he can for everyone to understand. You can visit our website for more cardiovascular system videos. I’m sure you’ll find value in each of them. Thank you for watching and stay tuned for more! 🙂
This video saved me! I have. Test on this tomorrow and I didn’t understand the way the book made it out. After watching this I get it a lot better!! Thank you soooo much!
@ChibiNyaaX3 Glad you’re finding value in our videos. Thank you for watching! Please stay tuned for more Biology videos coming soon!

@issayk1 Hi! Thank you for watching. Yes, we had the discussion on the error below in the earlier comments posted. You can go ahead and check them out.
Please stay tuned for more Biology videos 🙂
Hello, one quick observation… 4::54…. Posterior and Anterior vena cava.
I think it’s Superior (Anterior) and Inferior (Posterior). I’m from Romania… and we studied them like that…. and I’ve seen pretty much videos (USA made) which say the same thing 🙂 (superior – inferior)
Anterior = in front of. Posterior = behind.
They have the same position, only one collects no oxigen blood from superior members + head, and the other one from the down below body.
Keep up the good work
@XSymphony Yes, this error was already discussed. Please refer to the previous comments below. Thank you! 🙂
@InteractiveBiology sorry, my bad, didn’t checked all comments.
@XSymphony Not a problem 🙂
i have i science test on this tomorrow, this helped a lot
i have i science test on this tomorrow, this helped a lot
@FLUFFYburito Great! Hope you ace your test. Good luck! 🙂
I have an anatomy test on Monday and this helped me – it was easy to follow and a clear demonstration! Thanks for posting.
@issayk – they can be reffered to as anterior/superior/cranial and posterior/inferior/caudal, interchangeably. They are all correct…
@sylverteaz You’re welcome! Glad to know this helped. Stay tuned for more Biology videos 🙂
great vid thanks alot really heped me with my biology exam thumbs up 🙂
it really helps. Great Video..!
@raiamirr Thank you! 🙂
@lemonmasherboi That’s great! Stay tuned, we have more Biology videos coming very soon!
Thank you for posting Leslie. You are truly an inspiration.

LOVE THIS CHANNEL 😉 SO HELPFULL
@sheilayoyo Thank you! We’re glad to be of help. Please stay tuned as Leslie will be making more Biology videos for the site. Thank you! 🙂
if you can , please may you make a video on plants as in plant transport system , (xylem and phloem)…
@Dipsy260495 Hi, unfortunately, Leslie is no longer taking requests for specific videos. He’s loaded with a lot of work that it would already be impossible for him to do all requests. But, nevertheless, we hope you’ll still find the site helpful. Good luck with your studies!
O my, very interesting. Thx Leslie you made it very easy to understand. Keep up the good job. Thumbs up
@adamski03able Glad to know you found value in them. Please stay tuned! We have more Biology videos coming soon! 🙂
hello leslie could you make explaination on smooth muscle’s contraction mechanism please?
i dont understand about the calmadulin-calcium complex,myosin light chain kinase,myosin light chain phosphatase and the latch bridge.thanks a lot anyway.
tx for the upload, keep up the good work, knowledge for all!
Is this guy from reading rainbow?
Good video. Easier to follow than most
Thank you for explaining this in a fun and easy way 🙂 cheers mate
Thank you for explaining this in a fun and easy way 🙂 cheers mate
Great video, you did a great job!
i wish you were my teacher! 🙂
This is so awsome i actually understood everything thank you!! Great video 2 thumbs up! 🙂
id like to know how when the papillary muscles contract which also makes the chordae tendinae pull back and taking notice that the tricuspid valve is connected to the chordae tendinae do the valves open or do they close when the papillary muscles contract along with the chordae tendinae and during when the atria contracts.

oh and you might have to correct the decription of the vena cava its superior and inferior not anterior and posterior. But it was a great video for clearing my understanding of blood circulation but im confused what relationship do the papillary muscles have when the atria is contracting or not and how it affects the valves.
So incredibly helpful, you are such a blessing!!
I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this guy he makes all this topics very simple !!!!!!!!thank you for you help
I wish you could get my tuition instead of my physio prof…
very well-done!
Now,I understand my lecture from yesterday.. Thanks you so much.
that was an excellent easy description! THank you so much! 🙂
Thanks to people as yourself, I can better understand this material. Thank you for the time and effort and the good explanations!
Thank you so much!! I was having a hard time getting this from a textbook and audio from an online class. I love your videos and wish I had a teacher like you when I was in school before!
Hi Angela,
So glad to know that the videos are helping you. Stay tuned for more 🙂
Thanks for letting it all make sense thanks so much
My teacher took 2 and a half weeks to explain that but she failed miserablery, and you did that in 9 minutes. thankyou so much
Wow should of saw this before I got a D 🙁 …now gonna retake it for sure imma get an A …thank you I get everything so much better because of you 😀 yay!!
Great video!
@Dipsy260495 xylem transports water. Phloem transports sugars and other ions. Each structure has specific adaptive features that allows it to carry out its function. Water is transported using hydro-static pressure gradient across plant. Sucrose enters the plant using active transport. Google for more info…

That was so EASY to understand… Thank you so much! Now I think I can describe the path of blood through the heart with my eyes closed!
Want to learn an very EASY way to understand blood flow??? This is a great video! However, I suggest searching in YouTube for “Blood Flow Made Easy” and I guarantee you will get every exam question right! Then come back to this video and you will understand it better.
OMG thank you sooooo much Leslie! this video was very useful and i honestly learnt so much from this video than my teacher!
thank u soo much very informative. i will be doing a university presentation coming the human heart to a racehorse’s heart

I can’t thank you enough for making this video as elementary as possible. I just watched another video on the same topic and it left my head spinning. I’m sure to ace my exam now. Thanks a million!!!
this has always been my fav topic
thank you sir
“pulmonary vein to the lungs,” dude get your anatomy straight.. pulmonary artery takes blood to lungs and vein takes it away from lungs
very helpful!!!
I just wanna say you’re amazing. You start basically from scratch. My textbook used so much jargon that it did’nt click in my head & other videos demonstrated asif we knew some knowledge. Thank you thank you thank you !
Genuinely… thank you 🙂
Genuinely… thank you 🙂
i just want to say thank you so much i missed this topic in lab class and i really needed to understand the heart my friends explaining it was so confusing but i finally get it im so happy !!

I have been struggling all week trying to understand the heart flow. Your video made it simple for me to understand. I also enjoyed your relaxed pace, soothing voice (lol), and teaching methods.
i was trying to get my head around the cardiac system , i tried it many times never worked. this video just made it so easy to understand and to learn. thank you very much
whoa this really helped! thanks a lot!
this was AMAZING! thank you so much!
Absolutely fantastic! You are a amazing teacher! Thank you 🙂 xxxx
Thank – you so much! This REALLY helped me, let’s hope my Biology exams next week ask me a big question about the heart 😀
Soooooooooo helpful having a test on this and it helped thanks so much 😀
very good video! thanks!
thanks for the video. was a great explanation. nb. incorrect spelling: antrioventricular
EXCELLENT! THANK YOU
EXCELLENT! THANK YOU
Thank you…this was so easy to follow…I enjoyed it a great deal.
absolutely brilliant – wow you have made this really easy to understand im happy to do my placement on CCU now, thank you
My science teacher should have showed this to us! I would have failed the exam without this video! Thanks!
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Thumbs up !!
you made it easy to understand. thanks
i love you
I quit smoking with Campral….Watch my youtube video Campral
You are a gifted teacher. Thank you for sharing your God given talent with us!
pleasee, really helpful . thanks
I have a biology exam tomorrow and you have literally just saved my life! Thank you, very helpful.
1900 gallons of blood pumped every day by heart; funny how they never mention it.
This is the best. I now know how the blood goes through my heart. You cleared my confusion. 😀
Thanks a lot. Appreciate it.
thanks alot. amazing explanation. slow and easy. 🙂
Great Video. Just thought I would let you know that in your brief written description you said “It shows blood entering via the vena cave to the Right atrium, then getting pumped into the right ventricle, to the pulmonary vein to the lungs” Shouldn’t it be the pulmonary Artery?
Great Video! At least now I understood the whole process and the function of each part of the heart! I am totally gonna survive 6th Grade! Except for the Algebra…I really, really appreciate you for making this video for us student to understand the lecture well. Keep posting more videos! We will surely gonna subscribe you! 😀
Thanks ever such alot!!! your video is so helpful..
Yes. It should be pulmonary artery!
thanks heaps! helped me alot! ur great! 😀

Your vid is really nice, but I’d like to point out one thing. The vena cavae are not posterior and anterior. They should’ve been named as superior and inferior. 🙂

Thank you so much! best explainantion ever!
How do you improve the pump flow from the heart. I research it and found that 55 percent is the highest you can have. How can you improve the pump flow if somebody has a pump flow of 35%. What foods or medications can someone take, and if the person is little overweight would losing the weight would help. These are my questions.
Great video — really clear explanation!
best 🙂
Loved the video, it explained everything perfectly. Thank!
Wow. Are you an Indian? No, seriously.
Wow. You drew that? Teach me!
Thanks bro, very helpful.
Thank goodness my prof told us to look this up! Great pace and explanations! Thanks so much! 🙂
thanks for this.. You’re really good on explaining this one.. 🙂
This video helped me tremendously! Thank you SO MUCH!
Thank you!
thank you so much! I have been a nurse for several years and none have made more sense than yours! You are a SuperStar!
u really helped 🙂
you voice makes me sleepy
Good video!
Slight correction: the labels says anterior and posterior vena cava but they are superior and inferior.
Fantastic video!!!!
Appreciate you very much! You are AWESOME!
Incredibly helpful!! thank you.
You’re a great teacher, thank you so much!!
wow. i finally understood it! thank you so much.
I think I understand it now lol! thanks
You really make it easy to understand.
YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!
“the special thing about valves, is that it allows blood to flow in ONE DIRECTION.”
I think i ll do pretty good for my bio test tomorrow….
Nicely done! I’d love for you to check out my rap about the circulatory system, “Pump it Up!” It’s at the sciencemusicvideos channel. Let me know what you think.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. -3 you lifesaver!!
What a GREAT video! This is very simple and gets to the point without overwhelming you. Thanks!!
so clear! thank you !
Thank you! This is awesome. I finally understand.
amazing video!!!!!!!! so much easier to understand man thank u1
Excellent, thank you!! ♥
ssssooooo cooooollll!!!!! my presentation will be so great thanks to this video
as everyone else is saying…THANKS!
oooooohhhhhhh my gosh this very educational for my sisters and i
I love the way you broke everything down slowly. Much better than trying to decipher from my text book. I will look for more of your videos and your website for more help. This was GREAT! Thank you….a grateful A&P student.
Thank you SO much! I was was so confused with how the heart works and it was extremely overwhelming with the notes from class. Now I finally get it! clear explanation and extremely helpful! recommended this to all my fellow bio students 🙂
Great review :),thanks a lot!!!
I LOVE your accent!!! 😀
You are truly an amazing teacher. God bless you real good.
Your videos are so helpful! I never understand what my Anatomy and Physiology professor is talking about in class but when I am studying I watch your videos and everything makes sense. Thank you so much!!!
shouldnt the Anterior and Posterior vena cava be Superior and Inferior Vena cava?
ya, they can be called either, or. The anterior (front) vena cava is also superior (upper, closer to the head), and the posterior vena cava (back) is also inferior (lower, closer to the feet). So, there’s one that flows into the upper/front part of the right atrium, and that flows into the lower/back part of the right atrium.
This is just wonderful!!
You have no idea how clear and helpful this has been. THANK YOU!!!!
This presentation was easier to understand than any of my high school biology classes. THANK YOU!
I could say thank you to every single video. you are fantastic. THANK U!
Thx, im going to good on the quiz!
thank you so much, i feel more confident for my ECG exam this thursday. I even recorded it on my phone to hear it on my way to school. Thank you again, your amazing…..
Great video thank you so much for the help!
this is a great video! thanks sooooo much!!!!!
WOW! This is very useful. Thank you 🙂
Great videos thank you very much….
Excellent explanation!
This is fantastic thank you so much!
i learnd so much from this thank you
sorry for spelling
That was very helpful thank you!
Great video.! Helped me memorize blood flow right before a bio exam!
who would dislike these videos…
It is the inferior and superior vena cava, not anterior and posterior
perfect! thank u! i wish my teacher could teach like u
Thank you, this was very helpful! You’re very clear and systematic.
inferior and superior (meaning lower and upper), not anterior and posterior (meaning front and back) vena cava
Got It.. Thank You
You just saved me for my anatomy test. thanks. 😀
Amazing. Thank you!
very helpful!
really a epic video
I like human anatomy very much.
Great video! Easy to understand.
This was very informative to me! I wish I was able to take the written notes and the picture. That is the best explanation I have seen out there! Great Job! thank you for sharing!
Thank-you this video was really helpfull I now fell very confident for my exam (:
Thanks sam !!! really clear awesome explanation ,
,,,,, u saved my time !!!
Calming voice…thanks 🙂
Well done, easy to understand, great job. Thank you
Awesome explanation. But isn’t inferior and superior vena cava based on the place they are located ?. I appreciate if you explain that to me. Great job !!
Luv it! So much better w visual n explanation
My exam is tomorrow and I couldn’t understand a word till I saw this video 🙂 I’m speechless thanks.. This really helped !!
Very very best explanation, clear and very easy to understand, highly recommended!
You can’t make it fun. :-/
you silly child, it has way more than one name-.-
I’m not a child moron. They are named superior vena cava, and inferior vena cava. They are named this way due to their positions.
Its fun when you get your hw done fast!! lol (:
Thank you very much for this video. I finally understand this stuff.
Buy a biology text book, educate yourself, and then talk to me.
Thank you so much!! You explain everything to well and make it a lot easier to understand! Many Thanks 🙂
I love this video, it helped me gain a better understanding. Thank you !!
Perhaps the most interesting research coming out on prevention of heart disease is the study published two weeks ago by the journal CIRCULATION of the American Heart Association. This 10 year NIH funded study found a 48% reduction of heart disease in people who were taught Transcendental Meditation. The control group used the standard education program. This finding was even more significant when looking at those who were most regular with their twice a day practice–66% in that group.

Thank you so much for this.. Now, I understand better and wider…
You said Posterior & Anterior,I guess they should be called inferior & superior,are they?
=)
omg this helped so much thanks
Thank you very much for this video. I’m studying EKG and blood flow of the heart for a Patient Care Technician class & this is very helpful. I will subscribe so that in the future when I start the nursing program this site will be my second teacher. God bless you…
This is easy
u mad bro? 😀
THANKYOU
You don’t realize how much you have helped my last minute revision

Sir/Madam, your video is very informative and useful. May I copy it so that I can use it during my class…Thank you very much
owesome, never understand before. superman doctor,,thanks.
It would be a shame for you not to burn fat when these other normal people are able to shed pounds so easily using Fat Blast Factor (Look it up on google).
blood flow
thak you alut i’m very interset with this
Anterior/ posterior are commonly interchanged with superior/inferior. This is likely due to preference of proper zoological terminology.
it was perfect . Thanks
Thank you for this! I really had trouble remembering the names of everything but watching this step by step really helped
i like this one it is make sense to me,thank you

should not it be SUPERIOR vena cava and INFERIOR vena cava??? instead of anterior and posterior..thanks for the video 🙂
Very helpfull, thanks alot
thank you God bless you more with wisdom..
Very nice descriptive video!
Yessss!
Making biology fun? Well I’m shit out of luck. I’m here for anatomy
I think this is the best video showing how the blood flows through the heart. It helped me greatly for Anatomy, now I’m refreshing for nursing school.

you’re right! they’re the same thing though. The superior vena cava is also called the anterior vena cava, and the interior vena cava is also the posterior. Hope this helps. ^^~
yeah, I just checked it after I wrote the comment =D But, thank you cindy 🙂
just watched dis, nd was really helpful. am no more nervous 4 ma exam. lol
This was soooo helpful, i can’t thank you enough! 🙂 you’re the best keep the videos coming please 😀
How often does the heart pump blood to the body in one day? Great video by the way 🙂
adult heart rate = 60-100 beats per minute
with each heart beat it roughly puts out 70cc of blood
the heart pumps 4 -8 liters of blood a minute
In one day the heart pumps 5760-11520 liters of blood per day
Finally a video that actually helps! thankyou so much for this video 😀
Thank you thank you thank you! Finally someone who can really explain this simply and for informatively. God Bless! =)
ur a guardian angel sent from above
THANK U, KEEP D GUD WORK ALIFE
Thank Thank Thank …! I finally understand this process. You are a great teacher!
That helped a whole lot, and i’m in a low grade and i understand that! Made my science class a bunch easier. I even recommended it to my teacher!
Wow thanks this really helped me! 🙂
Very clear and simple to follow. Thank you. The Posterior cena cava is also known as the Inferior vena cava and the Anterior is also known as the Superior vena cava. I have just learned that too!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
thanks 4 the facts!
Thank You soo much. You’re a life saver and you are one phenomenal educator.
wow!!you made so understandable.thankyou
THANK YOU, SO HELPFUL
thank you sooo much
🙂
Thank you for this video! I’m pretty squeamish, and this video explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, but also didn’t make me feel squeamish about the fact that blood was being talked about. Also, your voice is really nice for teaching!
Thank you for teaching the blood flow through the heart. You explained very well. Thanks again!!
amazing clearly!
thank you
He forgot to mention that in order for the blood to flow to the right ventricle from the right atrium the tricuspid valve has to open– tricuspid valve then closes after blood has flown to the right ventricle
visit my channel to see the video Time to pay up, Timmy!
Please comment, like and subscribe.
you wont regret it!
this was great. I learned more in the 9 minutes than i did reading my textbook for an hour
This video is amazing! Any chance you could do a few on congenital heart defects? Thank you for this!
Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful.
Thank you thank you thank you!! My instructor wasn’t making it clear that there were different names for the same valves which was where I kept getting so confused. You Leslie are a lifesaver. I have now subscribed to your channel. Thanks again!
Thank you so much!!!
Dude your awesome…I would buy your book, but I don’t really need it. Thanks bro
Great video, but I just want to point out that it’s the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava because anatomically, they are positioned top and bottom, not front and back.
U are amazing… Thank you. I passed my presentation n this video made it easy for me. Thank u

thank you so much sir please continue inspiring us to study and helping us as well in our hardships when it comes to problems like this…
for some reason remembering the order of functions/names in the heart has been a problem for me. like everyone else has said already you explained it very clearly and made it easy for me to remember. thank you!
simple yet understandable..good job..Thanks!
Masha Allah. Alhamdu Lillah that i found this video. Thank you so much and may the Almighty Bless You. Ameen.
who calls the superior and inferior vena cava anterior and posterior?
it was wonderful.could understand the complete physiology of the heart
Nice vid, thanks…
Both are correct. The superior vena is positioned anteriorly and inferior vena cava is positioned posteriorly in the chamber of right atrium.
U mixed the colours up! >:(
That was such a mess when i was learning this lesson – ‘ Blood Circulation ‘. But your video made that so clear, crystal and shallow. Your teaching method is admirable. Thank you so much!!!
VERY helpful video! Thank U!
Thank you soo much, you a very smart and simplify it well!
Thank u so much.i have less than a month before taking PCAT and I really need this to reinforce my bio knowledge. Very helpful..

Thanks a lot ,.made explanation easy.
hi samuel, thank you so much for your kind explanation…. you gave me a relax mind by going through details of each circulation…. wish you are my teacher at my class…
A LOT OF THANKS
This is such a great explanation and video!
Let’s try to keep up on this stuff as we get older we should know this,
especially for my family because we have a tendency to die from Heart
problems.
I found this very interesting, thanks for posting.
Thankyou soooooomuch omg I have never learned the heart this easy! amen
jjjj
The blue ventricle looks an awful lot like a penis
oh My God I enjoy the lecture; when I saw the cardiac cycle, I was scared, but now, I can teach it to other people myself. Thank you, you are a God saver
thanks alot
Thanks a lot! It’s the little things that you say that makes such a huge difference. For example, “The antrioventricular is in the middle–and that makes sense because it is between the atrium and the ventricles.” It’s hard to see the obvious when you are so overwhelmed with everything else, so things like that really helps!
Totally loved this! thank you!!!
Much appreciated, friend!
thank you so much for this fabulous video 🙂
Thank you so much, u have cleared my idea about blood circulation. I didnt understand when my tutor explain me. You are great
Thanks for you .. It’s very clear
Thanks for you .. It’s very clear
i finally get it!
You are amazing! Keep up the good work! God Bless you!
Yo yo… Fine movie.
My older brother used to be an obese bloke. He changed himself from 284lbs of pure fat to 200 lbs of absolute lean muscle. I couldn’t believe it! I just joined myself coz I wanna strengthen. He made use of the Muscle Building Bible (Search on Google)…

May God send down his many blessings upon you. You explained with such detail. This is coming from a student who was fighting to
understand the functions of the heart. God bless! Monique D
Wow this is amazing! You make it easy to understand =) I will be watching more of your videos as I travel through my classes!
amazing explanation!!!
Awesome explanation. You are the best!!!! The more I study the human body, the more I’m amazed by it.
aren’t the pulmonary veins labelled wrongly? they should be on the left of the heart
See this video to learn how blood flows through the heart:

You’re simply awesome. Thank u sooo much and keep up the brilliant work 😀
I am also fascinated!!! Anatomy was my favorite subject at University.
Made it so easily. Amazing explanation.
The body is truly an amazing work. You have expressed this process to a level of understanding…thank you so much! I look forward to seeing more.
Good one
This helped me so much ! Thank you!
very thorough, especially the end. thank you
thank you this video really helped me. it was well explained and really
clear . thanks
Thank you a lot , your video saved my life cuz tomorrow I have a test and I
have to study about blood and other stuff , I didn’t understand that part
so I looked in YouTube and found you 🙂 thanx again
Were you aware that “Atrioventricular” in your slides are spelt incorrectly?
Thanks a lot!! I do fitness and PT course, and I have anatomy class and I
started circulatory system stuff. At the first class I couldn’t absorb it,
but now I have a clue how it works:D. Thanks once again for the simple
explanation!
The best !! love this video
good vid but it bugs me that you call the inferior and superior vena cava
the posterior and anterior vena cava…
and John Tan there are pulmonary veins on the right and left sides, just
like the artery extends to both sides, for both the left and right lungs..
Simply Amazing!! i cant believe i learned all this in 9 minutes when my teacher couldnt teach us in 75!!
And I’m glad to hear that the videos are helping you 🙂
pls how do I download these videos I’m a second year medical student and I’m greatly in need of them
Nice article
This is extremely helpful. It helps me to picture it and understand it very well. This video is stuck on my mind. Will never forget the blood flow from now on 🙂 Words can’t thank you enough!!
Dear Leslie
Thank you so much for your videos. They are great 🙂
you are my professor ^_^ thank you so much <3
