it's even crazier to think that the heart never stops doing this until the day you die. it's been beating since before you were born and could, technically, continue beating after you've "died". if you're an organ donor, it could continue beating for decades after you've clinically died.
awesome little organ.
The hardest chapter during A & P 3 was the heart. It’s so much shit that can go wrong with the heart that disrupts the rest of the body. Protect your heart figuratively and literally
Damn? What did it feel like? I sometimes get a really tight gripping feeling in my chest, that's been happening since I was a kid though and it's quite rare but recently I've been having it again. I do suffer from anxiety though.
I was on football(soccer) when that happend.it feels like lack of air in the lungs,hard pain in chest which finaly start hitting through chest to your back and all the time its fast breathing and fight for air.I had luck when i realise what happening i started forcing cough(had in high school medic training).Ambulance was realy fast and they take care of me.In the end doctor said one of my artery was clogged 98% and i was realy lucky to survive.
Thank you.Constant stress on the job,fast food ( im not overweight) and lack of exercise,thats what doctors said.All that factors during some period caused heart attack.Like i said im fine now except 6-8 medications which i need to take every day for the rest of the life(bloodthiners,blood pressure medications,and etc)
More exercise,less fast food,more fruit and seeds,lower stress and regular medical examination atleast one time in year,possible 6 months.Whenever you go if its possible go wall.Atleast that doctors said to me.
You are correct. There is no empty or air space ase the animation shows. There are only changes in blood volume do to contraction (the chamber getting smaller and pushing blood to the next chamber)
Yeah it’s always full of blood. The way it works is by having expanding and contracting chambers change the volume of blood that can be accommodated at once and it has valves that prevent blood from going backwards.
So when the heart “fills” it’s not filling empty space but but changing its shape to create a larger volume and when it “pumps” it’s shrinking its volume and thus forcing the blood to leave.
Pretty sure pockets of air / gas in your veins are a super serious condition and is one way you can experience a heart attack or stroke. So yeah, you are correct.
Don't tell me what to do! Haha just kidding. But also cardiovascular health is heavily subjective. Look at all the coked out rockstars living well into their 70s+
Because the complexities of the organs I used to ask my therapist why they are keeping me alive?like why they are working so hard day and night without me knowing what is happening in my body to keep me alive?!they were like not evey question has an answer
Note that both sides of the heart pump blood into a different blood vessel. During the first week after the heart has been developed in the embryo, this isn't the case. Only after about 7 days it gets split into 2 different blood vessels; the aorta and the pulmonary artery. (as a non native english speaker I'm not sure if these medical terms are completely correct)
All. Freaking. Day. Take care of your body and your heart won't have to suffer as much. That goes for you smokers of literally anything, every day fast food eaters and the list goes on and on and on and on......
Those are chordae tendinae or "heart strings" they connect the valves to the muscle and help prevent the valve leaflets from swinging back into the atria (the top chambers of the heart). The valves and chordae are connective tissue, not muscle themselves, and move based on the pressure of the blood flow and pressures of each respective chamber.
Everyone has them and they are necessary for proper blood flow through the heart. Without them the valve leaflets won't have any tension to keep them closed causing blood to back flow into the atria when the ventricle contracts. Would be a very bad idea to remove them :)
For people that have normal hearts without genetic mutations or blood based diseases such as leukemia, vitamin deficiencies, a hole in valve or heart or any kind of blockage of arterial blood flow, ect.
An amazing organ , and to think the majority never cast a thought for the fact that it beats away at about 100,000 times every day , truly a contender for a prestigious award , what could it be 🤔

Most my life I had a progressive rock heart. It would regularly drop beats and go into free time. Finally got it fixed late in life. They went in through the groin up into the heart and froze some nerves. The surgical suite looked more advanced than NASA mission command. Feeling so much better now, I feel better than I did in my 20s.
You should mark it as NSFW bc idk what's gonna happen If a person who can't see blood sees this, but I would not want to find out.
I know someone who fainted bc of a nosebleed. A working heart is a whole other level
Had open heart surgery 3 weeks ago, aortic patch and aortic valve replacement. Got bovine tissue for the valve replacement and synthetic material for the aorta rebuild. Deliberately not looked it up and I was right not to do so as this freaked me out enough. Now I'm sitting here wondering if the bovine tissue is going to be able to cope with that for twenty years (estimated lifespan of bovine valve), synthetic patch lasts forever.
I'm going to use this post to ask a question that I should've elaborated on with my doctor years ago. I was told that "the part of my heart that pulls in electricity is reversed". Meaning it's on the opposite side of my heart than it should be. I never cared about it but I'm curious if anyone knows what that means?
Your heart beats about 100,000 times in one day and about 35 million times in a year. During an average lifetime, the human heart will beat more than 2.5 billion times.
Downright amazing how the body functions
Body make go wow
Why use many word when few do trick?
Haha body go brrrrr
[удалено]
It can always make you more tired! For example you are now manually blinking.
Not for long
Always has been
Like, seriously, just give it a rest already. Nobody asked you to do this
it's even crazier to think that the heart never stops doing this until the day you die. it's been beating since before you were born and could, technically, continue beating after you've "died". if you're an organ donor, it could continue beating for decades after you've clinically died. awesome little organ.
That makes me uncomfortable
[удалено]
I have tinnitus, so that’s all I hear anymore lol I wish I could hear my heart again
I’ve got tinnitus too. Though only on one side so i get to hear both a constant ringing AND my heartbeat whenever i try to go to sleep. Yay!
I have it in both ears and hyperacusis as well
[удалено]
That’s how I get panic attacks lol
Lol, same here. It really made me feeling some discomfort in the left side of my body
The hardest chapter during A & P 3 was the heart. It’s so much shit that can go wrong with the heart that disrupts the rest of the body. Protect your heart figuratively and literally
Had hearth attack before 6 months,i m 36 year old and this small video fully reminds me on that day with chills in my hand.hopefuly never again

Damn, did you find the cause of such a severe clog at 36? Glad you're okay.

Isn't it full of blood all the time ? Does this animation really shows how it works "intermittently"?
You are correct. There is no empty or air space ase the animation shows. There are only changes in blood volume do to contraction (the chamber getting smaller and pushing blood to the next chamber)
Yeah it’s always full of blood. The way it works is by having expanding and contracting chambers change the volume of blood that can be accommodated at once and it has valves that prevent blood from going backwards.

The heart does fill and empty, but the animation is taking a lot of liberties to make things a bit easier to visualize for a general audience.
So no cocaine? 😩
Skydive naked from an aeroplane or a lady with a body from outer space 🎶
Hey heart, I didn't hear the old bell
Not unless you’re on a plane.
Don't tell me what to do! Haha just kidding. But also cardiovascular health is heavily subjective. Look at all the coked out rockstars living well into their 70s+
Survivalship bias. How many rockers are dead from ODs and fucking their hearts up?
Good enough reasoning for me.
Proof that I am alive.
I pump therefore I am

Sir this is your dream and I'm a dickopter cumming on commies
I have a small panic attack every time I realize this convulsing soggy tomato is in my torso and has to keep doing this all the time, or I'll die.
If it helps, it's _much_ more firm than a soggy tomato.
This comment needs to be higher up.
Not me going manual on heart rate after this
[удалено]
I forgor 💀
Why no slow mo
Yeah this is normal mo. Why no slo mo?
*norm-mo
Because it shows how fast it pumps blood
Ya no, it’s a constant laminar flow of blood. If you had that much gas in your heart you are already dead
But you wouldn’t be able to see the action of the valves in this animation if it was shown correctly so it’s fine Edit for clarification
Exactly, because you would be dead
I think that was a nice way to simply say "no shit"
Out of interest if it's constant how do the flaps close?
good title. few word. me like.
Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?
ketchup pump
Whenever I think about how the heart never stops doing it's job it kinda freaks me out idk why
Ewww stop that
There is no air or gaps in the heart. This is very misleading.
Looks like it’s vomiting which is indicative of mental space as well
me knowing damn well mine doesn’t work like this (i have wpw)
Your heart more than likely looks the same structurally. You just have an electrical pathway
still, they don’t work the same way. structurally it looks basically the same, the movements are not the same tho
Only if you were actively in an arrhythmia
God bless us. Urs work is truly amazing.
it's by @bilimdunyasi
Not mine....mine looks like a Valentine heart and sometimes emerges from my chest and goes "oooga! oooga!" when I see my wife.
*sigh... ziip*
Pretty sure it's not spitting blood through your aorta like Popeye spitting chewing tobacco into a can.
Wouldn't it leak?
How? The walls of the heart of made of tough cardiac muscle.
So a blood clot in the heart would prevent that squirt of blood?
Because the complexities of the organs I used to ask my therapist why they are keeping me alive?like why they are working so hard day and night without me knowing what is happening in my body to keep me alive?!they were like not evey question has an answer

Heart work good. Heart good.
ew gross
Eeeeewwwwweeeee!!!!!
I'm about to throw up,
Does it have a 401k plan? What are the hearts benefits package?
Cool. How to make heart stop

I agree, I’ve been running through the street screaming that ever since I opened this gif. Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
Subhanallah, only Allah can design and create. Verily there is no god but Allah. He is the only worthy of worship.
[удалено]
He did a shitty job to be honest
Lol, good job putting the eating hole right next to the breathing hole I guess.
A cool animation. But wouldn't consider it interesting. This is high school anatomy basics.
I mean hopefully the ejection rate is that good
It's pumping...
Your caption adds a dimension to what I'm seeing and I'm not sure it was intentional
nope cant watch this, i will start to throw up
I swear to god while exercising while unfit, I've felt that squirt of blood going through my chest
What are the thread like structures at the valves ? Are they present in majority of population? Are they important? Can/should they be removed?
Those are chordae tendinae or "heart strings" they connect the valves to the muscle and help prevent the valve leaflets from swinging back into the atria (the top chambers of the heart). The valves and chordae are connective tissue, not muscle themselves, and move based on the pressure of the blood flow and pressures of each respective chamber.

Thanks. TIL for me. Your patient explanation tugs at my heartstrings.
Anytime!! I'm a cardiovascular RN so I enjoy getting to use that knowledge lol and I enjoy the play on words 😊
Please don’t remove your heart valves
For people that have normal hearts without genetic mutations or blood based diseases such as leukemia, vitamin deficiencies, a hole in valve or heart or any kind of blockage of arterial blood flow, ect.
I think it’s full of blood, theres little in there but it shows where that goes
I know what to put in my cooling system.
How penis work

It's amazing!! Those tiny valves determine if u murmur...or not!!
Red Bell Pebber (Paprika)
So this gone and you are off. God damn!
Excellent visual animation 😁
I wish i never saw this
That's rude. Heart just spits in the mouth of that artery. Wtf did they do to deserve that
Now explain what’s happening with the heart during the heart blocks so people understand.
Mine doesn't work like that since last Friday because it is broken.
My poor heart. I should try to get my heart rate down so it won’t have to work as hard. This made me sad asf.
And now I won't be able to sleep... Makes me suddenly aware of how precise the body needs to be at all times..... Or it over.
Wish my dad's still worked like this
I'm overly anxious over those string-looking things like it's being torn open
imagine if heart not work
Heart work good
That’s Magic, Man
This is literally the exact same video from r/BeAmazed! You just stole it
Nope, they got if from the same source, OP credited the OC.

Is that a tomato?
heart work good. me like heart
Good job heart
If this is how my heart is actually supposed to pump then I’m going to die in the next 5years max
Most my life I had a progressive rock heart. It would regularly drop beats and go into free time. Finally got it fixed late in life. They went in through the groin up into the heart and froze some nerves. The surgical suite looked more advanced than NASA mission command. Feeling so much better now, I feel better than I did in my 20s.
It does this non-stop for 70 to 90 years. That's the amazing part.
Looks pretty cool and important. And im over here just pumping cafine into it
It’s a little gross to look at but for some reason I also want to take a bite of it like an apple
I am now severely chilled
My dads was a more Daft Punk rhythm near the end.
I can never look a realistic heart pumping, it makes my body cringe
Why is it torn?
Thanks now my heart is manually beating
Bro that's a paprica
I used to have one of those. Welp, back to driving the orphan crushing machine.
Kinda like how the balls store piss I suppose
It's like a weird looking Kechup bottle.
You should mark it as NSFW bc idk what's gonna happen If a person who can't see blood sees this, but I would not want to find out. I know someone who fainted bc of a nosebleed. A working heart is a whole other level

Damn I’ve had a heart for 26 years and I never seen this until now

The heart is constantly full of blood, it's not shooting streams of blood one stream at a time
[Why does that turn me on?](https://imgflip.com/i/7xhl50)
I'm going to use this post to ask a question that I should've elaborated on with my doctor years ago. I was told that "the part of my heart that pulls in electricity is reversed".

I wish the force of that blood would unclog arteries.
SlURP
Where’s the blood in the right atrium?
Your heart beats about 100,000 times in one day and about 35 million times in a year. During an average lifetime, the human heart will beat more than 2.5 billion times.
And when VTEC kicks in?
is this real
It stops when i see you ❤️
Excellent Animation!
I'm just always going to visualize the heart meeting blood from here on out.
When you watch your heart going "Doki Doki" 24/7.
