The course The Cardiovascular System: Heart Anatomy & Blood Circulation introduces learners to the structure and functions of the human cardiovascular system. It explores the anatomy of the heart, including its chambers, valves, and wall layers, along with the pathways of pulmonary and systemic circulation. Learners will also understand the cardiac conduction system and how electrical signals regulate the heartbeat. In addition, the course covers the structure and functions of arteries, veins, and capillaries. By the end of this course, learners will develop a foundational understanding of heart anatomy, blood circulation, and cardiovascular physiology.
This course has been curated by Riphah International University faculty and staff using publicly available third-party content and Open Educational Resources (OER) for self-paced learning. Learners will engage with curated open-access materials to achieve the course learning outcomes. All third-party content is used under open-access or fair-use policies, while any original materials are developed specifically for this learning experience.

To be successful in this course, learners should have a background in Introductory human biology, general cellular structure, and basic anatomical terminology. A preliminary familiarity with general human organ systems or introductory health sciences is recommended to ensure effective comprehension of cardiovascular structures and circulatory dynamics.
This course is for Undergraduate students in Medical Imaging Technology and Allied Health Sciences, early-career healthcare professionals, and trainees seeking to build a robust conceptual foundation in human cardiovascular anatomy and circulatory dynamics. It is ideal for motivated individuals looking to enhance their academic performance, clinical comprehension, and the core anatomical knowledge required for medical imaging and allied health practice.
