Abstract

OCR 06/03/2024 This model of blood circulation through the heart and lungs was developed for use as a teaching aid and experimental tool to enhance understanding and retention in the study of blood circulation through the heart and lungs via various blood vessels. It replaces learning from textbook images, which may not provide a clear visual representation or thorough understanding. The blood circulation model includes models of the lungs, heart, and various blood vessels. The model illustrates the flow of fluid through blood vessels using fluid contained in venous and arterial receiving compartments, which are sac-like structures that can be squeezed to direct the fluid in specific directions on the model. This represents blood flowing from the heart to the lungs through designated blood vessels.

Claims (3)

OCR 10KL (09/04/2568) 1. The model of blood flow through the heart and lungs is provided by a base (1), a flat plate that serves as a support for the lung model (2) and the heart model (3). The lung model (2) is made of perforated material and contains the venous receiving section (11) and the arterial receiving section (12), and the heart model (3) is made of perforated material and contains the venous receiving section (10) and the arterial receiving section (13). The lung model (2) and the heart model (3) are provided together with the vascular model to show the direction of fluid intake and/or output through the venous receiving section (10), the venous receiving section (11), the arterial receiving section (12), and the arterial receiving section (13). Notably, the vascular model consists of a vein (4) leading to an arterial (5), where blood flow can compress the fluid containers or pouches from the venous receiving section (10), which is a sac-like structure. Or the containers for receiving and/or delivering fluid through the blood vessels flow through the blood vessels to the heart model (3) and through the venous vessels (4) to the venous receiving area (11) which is in the form of a bag or container for receiving and/or delivering fluid through the blood vessels of the lung model (2) to study venous blood flow. The bag or container of fluid can be squeezed from the arterial blood delivery area (12) which is in the form of a bag or container for receiving and/or delivering fluid through the blood vessels of the lung model (2) to flow through the arterial vessels (5) to the heart model (3) and through the blood vessels to the arterial receiving area (13) which is in the form of a bag or container for receiving and/or delivering fluid through the blood vessels to study the flow of arterial blood to the various organs of the body. 2. A model of blood flow through the heart and lungs, pursuant to claim 1, whereby the lung model (2) is provided made of a choice of materials from foam, or rubber, or silicone, or plastic. 3. A model of blood flow through the heart and lungs, in accordance with claim 1, where the heart model (3) is made of a choice of material from foam, or rubber, or silicone, or plastic.
