Animation of the Heart


http://library.med.utah.edu/kw/pharm/hyper_heart1.html
is a great resource for biology teachers. Learners can see how the heart acts as a pump. It shows the systole and the diastole and the contraction of the ventricle. There are graphs showing pressure in different parts of the heart at different times, as well as a graph of an electrocardiogram and of the heart sounds. Fascinating!
