Your heart has about the size of a pear and it sits behind your ribs on the left side of your body just next to your sternum. It has four parts, the left ventricle and the right ventricle which are both at the bottom of the heart, and the left atrium and the right atrium at the top. The walls of the heart are made of really strong muscles that squeeze and relax to pump blood around the body. That procedure assists the transportation of oxygen which reaches the lungs during breathing. So we are going to learn how to measure the levels of the oxygen and our blood pressure, using the appropriate devices and explore their functions while playing, andat the same time we will introduce the anatomy of these organs in a fun way.
