A very brief overview of the anatomy of the heart,very informative for first year medical students although there are more in depth concepts,this is very useful for a little practice in anatomy and physiology of the heart

This was an awesome course! I am 8 years old and my papa homeschools me, when I grow up I want to be a doctor and a swimmer. I love learning about the heart and it's functions. Thank you for doing an amazing job explaining the heart. I learned some new things about the heart.
