Labelling the heart
The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. Blood transports oxygen and nutrients to the body. It is also involved in the removal of metabolic wastes.
Label the heart
In this interactive, you can label parts of the human heart. Drag and drop the text labels onto the boxes next to the diagram. Selecting or hovering over a box will highlight each area in the diagram.
If you want to redo an answer, click on the box and the answer will go back to the top so you can move it to another box. If you want to check your answers, use the Reset incorrect button. This will reset incorrect answers only. When you are happy with your selection, use the Check answers button to check them. Use Reset all to practise again from the start.
In this activity, students use online and paper resources to identify and label the main parts of the heart.
By the end of this activity, students should be able to:
identify the main parts of a heart
describe the functions of the different parts of the heart.
This online interactive supports students to identify the different parts of the heart and the role they have in blood circulation. It can be used as both a formative and summative tool for learning.
