This brief presentation is a portion of one Module in the class on The Human Cardiovascular System. After learning about the components and function of the Heart and the Circulatory System, Health Science Nursing students must be able to follow the complicated process of tracing blood flow through the entire system. This Power Point includes a simplified diagram and explanation from the instructor to assist students before they are asked to trace the drop of blood themselves.
