Learning objectives

By the end of this module, students will be able to:

  • Identify the major parts of the heart - atria, ventricles, valves, septum, aorta, vena cava, pulmonary artery, and pulmonary veins

  • Understand the internal structure of the heart through sectional and inside views

  • Explain the path of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood through the heart

  • Understand the role of valves in maintaining one-way blood flow

  • Visualise the basic cardiac cycle - contraction, relaxation, filling, and pumping

  • Relate heart anatomy to physiology, circulation, and common clinical concepts

About the module

The heart as a complete 3D system.

The human heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body, maintaining both systemic and pulmonary circulation. This 3D module lets learners explore it as a complete anatomical and functional system - rotating the external anatomy, sectioning it, and stepping inside the chambers.

Students examine the internal chambers, observe valve positions, and follow how blood moves through the right and left sides of the heart. Key physiological concepts come to life - the circulation pathway, ventricular contraction, valve opening and closing, and the movement of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.

The inside view takes students beyond textbook diagrams to understand the spatial relationships between chambers, valves, vessels, and muscular walls - ideal for anatomy demonstrations, physiology teaching, pre-lab learning, and revision. The 7thi AI tutor is on hand throughout, and built-in assessment shows faculty who has grasped each concept.

7thi in this module

Students can ask 7thi questions at any point - about heart anatomy, blood flow, or anything they see in the model. 7thi answers in context, without breaking the flow.

Assessment

Session data - concepts mastered, time per scene, assessment scores - appears on the faculty dashboard. Export to your LMS via xAPI.

Common questions

Questions about this module.

Book a demo
What prior knowledge do students need?

Foundation-level biology. Suitable for first-year Medical, Nursing, Allied Health, and Life Sciences students and above.

How long is a typical session?

About 20 minutes to explore the model fully. Students can pause and resume, and faculty can focus on specific structures.

Can this be used in a flipped classroom?

Yes. Students complete the VR module before the lecture, so class time focuses on analysis and discussion.

Is the assessment graded automatically?

Yes. Assessment scores appear on the faculty dashboard immediately. Faculty can adjust pass thresholds and export results to their LMS.

Which headsets is this module optimised for?

Meta Quest 2 / 3 / Pro, ClassVR, Pico, and any WebXR-compatible browser. It also runs in desktop browsers without a headset. We also support the Meta XR SDK, OpenXR, and any 6DOF headset.
