HEART ANATOMY SONG

It’s crowned by the great vessels, of four chambers does consist,
Cardiac muscle does pump, connective tissue supports,
Valves separate the chambers, vessels direct transport.
It’s behind the ribs and sternum, in between the lungs,
In front of the spinal column, with vertebrae like rungs,
On top of the diaphragm, and slightly to the left,
In the cardiac impression, which makes room for its heft!
The central compartment of the thoracic cavity,
The mediastinum has important anatomy,
Know it is surrounded by loose connective tissue,
Fixed to the pericardium, holding the heart in situ!
The heart’s top is called the base, the bottom the apex,
Oh why did anatomists decide to perplex?
The pericardium lubricates and prevents from infection,
The fibrous and serous layers, provide this protection!
The serous layers enclose, the pericardial fluid,
For reducing heartbeat friction, it is well reputed!
The fibrous pericardium is connective tissue, OK?
Attached to the diaphragm, sternum and vertebrae!
Serous pericardium, layers parietal and visceral!
The visceral one on the heart’s surface is visible!
The myocardium is the muscular middle layer,
For pumping blood this section is the main player!
The coronary vessels go from the outside in,
Supplying the myocardium, which is found within,
The fibrous cardiac skeleton is made of connective tissue,
Specifically collagen to support muscle tissue!
The endocardium, the innermost of the layers,
Made up of endothelium, it lines the heart and chambers!
Veins bring blood toward the heart, the arteries away,
It’s not about oxygenation, so don’t be led astray!
The two vena cavas bring blood to our hearts,
To enter the right atrium, and so blood’s journey starts!
Blood from the coronary sinus, from the myocardium drains,
Collecting all the blood from coronary vessel domains!
The atrioventricular valves cause separation,
Between the atria and ventricles is their location!
The tricuspid valve has three cusps, the mitral one has two,
They open up when they need to let blood pass through!
These cusps have strings attached, the chordae tendineae,
Tethered to papillary muscle, which keeps blood at bay!
For when the heart contracts, the tendineae are taut,
Closing off the atria so return the blood cannot!
So only through the next valve can the blood now flow!
The pulmonary valve, which has three cusps to show!
It leads to the pulmonary artery, which carries blood to the lungs,
Returning to the heart, with oxygen it comes!
The pulmonary veins bring blood back to the heart,
So oxygenated blood to the body does depart!
But first the blood must enter the left ventricle,
Through a valve with just two cusps, called the mitral!
So pulmonary circulation comes to an end,
From heart to lungs and back, on that you can depend!
Now the blood goes through systemic circulation!
Man, this organ never gets any relaxation!
The left ventricle and myocardium is bigger,
Which makes sense, as it requires more vigor,
Because it pumps to the body at large,
While the lungs are the left ventricle’s only charge!
The aortic valve, door to the largest artery,
It has three cusps leading to the aorta as you see,
The auricles of the atria, seen from outside,
Are muscular pouches, that more space for blood provide!
The sinoatrial node is the heart’s pacemaker,
The atrioventricular node is its helpful neighbour!
The SA node triggers the atria to contract!
The AV node makes the ventricles pump once packed!

I wish these rhymes were taught to me in kindergarten, instead of those 'Twinkle twinkle little star' 😒😂
-
My mom: What kind of music do you listen to? Me: It's complicated...
-
Imagine singing this to your professor 😂🤣
-
“This organ never gets any relaxation” Death: yo.
-
Man, I don't know which song is better...the muscle song was a lowkey bop...but the skeleton song had those smooth dancing spooky bois
-
Im not sure you can really call this a song. Instead someone reading his textbook with a tune😂😂 love it
-
I have exam in 4 hrs And it's 3am And the plot twist is i am commerce student.
-
Thank you for this video. I appreciate the effort you guys put into this song as it really helped me understand the heart perfectly
-
i can’t believe that i am actually learning way faster because of this song!!! please make one about nervous system
-
It's fantastic I have learned by hearing two and three times this is my 8 mark question thank you sooo much
-
I suffered so much for remembering these all. But by this song, I learn easily now. Thank you and make some more organs system....... Thank you...
-
This guy is so underrated. I'm singing this in my anatomy class and remember everything lol
-
Omg I wish I had this a week ago for my cardiovasculay system exam and practical.. this is such a good video! I'll use it when i take physio lol
-
You deserve more recognition. this song is so good!
-
Hats off for your work.. 🤯🤯🤯
-
I like these videos which almost covered all about heart. Like wise we needed from all systems which must be cover all information. Nd we can take it into summarise form for revision purposes....
-
I stumbled on this and was both amused and educated! Totally win win and you truly are a gift :)
-
Thanks so much 🙏🙏 My Anatomy final is today and this was so helpful for me✨
-
I have so many mneumonics that the mneumonic itself become hard to remember.
-
Thank you guys so much for making these A&P concept videos! There are so few resources out there for us auditory learners so this is a gift.
