LESSON PLAN

Teacher: Mrs. Murphy

Program/Location: S+F Chapter 13 The Heart
Date: 2/13/219 Subject and Grade: 12

• Objective(s)
What do I want students to know and be able to do at the end of the lesson?

Cognitive: The student will be able to identify the principal components of the heart and their
functions. The student will also gain an understanding of the circulatory, electro-cardio, and
muscular systems, and the physiology of the heart. Finally, the student will be able to describe the
cardiac cycle.
Motor: Optional: skills in identifying heart sounds and microscopy.

Learning Outcomes:

Describe the three tissue layers of the heart wall.

Describe the location and structure of the pericardium and cite its functions.
Compare the functions of the right and left chambers of the heart.
Name the valves at the entrance and exit of each ventricle and identify the function of each.
Briefly describe blood circulation through the myocardium.
Briefly describe the cardiac cycle.
Name and locate the components of the heart's conduction system.
Explain the effects of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) on the heart rate.
List and define several terms that describe variations in heart rates.
Explain what produces each of the two normal heart sounds and identify the usual cause of a murmur.
Briefly describe methods used for studying the heart.
Referring to the case study, list the emergency and surgical procedures commonly performed following a
myocardial infarction and explain why they are done.
Show how word parts are used to build words related to the heart.
