How to Draw the Internal Structure of the Heart

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: To find a good diagram

   Find an image that displays the entire heart, and click on it to enlarge it.
2. 2

   Step 2: go to Google Images

   Start with the pulmonary veins.
   
   They will be to the lower left of the Aorta.
   
   There are two of them.
   
   Draw the top vein slightly smaller than the bottom vein. ,, The pulmonary veins should be adjacent to the right atrium, and the inferior vena cava should be adjacent to the right atrium and right ventricle. , If the diagram that you are using is helping you to sketch the heart, you should continue to use the same diagram.
   
   If you are confused about where parts of the heart are, find a new diagram. ,, Bottom ends at the top of the right ventricle.
   
   The left and right sides should be slightly above the atriums and pulmonary veins.
   
   The pulmonary artery is shaped like an uppercase 't'.
   
   It extends to the top of the right ventricle.
   
   Draw a circle at the end of it at the bottom. , To draw the back of the aorta, draw a single line connecting from the right side of the pulmonary artery to the top of the left atrium.
   
   To finish drawing the aorta, draw three nubs at the top of the loop.
   
   After you draw these, erase the lines connecting from one side of the bottom of the nub to the other.
   
   Add tilted circles to the top of all of the nubs.
   
   Draw a circle at the bottom of the aorta, adjacent to the left ventricle. , At the bottom of the superior vena cava, adjacent to the right atrium, draw a circle. ,,,,,,,,

   Step 3: and type in "The Internal Structure of the Human Heart".

4. 4

   Step 4: Find a piece of paper and something to draw with.

5. 5

   Step 5: Below the pulmonary veins

6. 6

   Step 6: and slightly to the right

7. 7

   Step 7: begin sketching the bottom of the inferior vena cava.

8. 8

   Step 8: Begin sketching the base of the heart

9. 9

   Step 9: including the right and left ventricles

10. 10

    Step 10: and the right and left atriums.

11. 11

    Step 11: Change diagrams if needed.

12. 12

    Step 12: Draw the other side of the pulmonary veins

13. 13

    Step 13: and add circles at the end.

14. 14

    Step 14: Begin drawing the pulmonary artery.

15. 15

    Step 15: To draw the aorta

16. 16

    Step 16: begin by drawing the loop over and around the pulmonary artery

17. 17

    Step 17: ending at the top of the left ventricle.

18. 18

    Step 18: To draw the superior vena cava

19. 19

    Step 19: draw a nub extending from the top of the right atrium

20. 20

    Step 20: overlapping the left side of the pulmonary artery

21. 21

    Step 21: to slightly above the left side of the pulmonary artery.

22. 22

    Step 22: Draw four circles in the left atrium

23. 23

    Step 23: and one circle in the right atrium

24. 24

    Step 24: slightly below the superior vena cava.

25. 25

    Step 25: Draw the mitral valves between both atriums

26. 26

    Step 26: and aortic valves in both the pulmonary artery and the aorta.

27. 27

    Step 27: Color these pink: Border Left Atrium Right Atrium Pulmonary Veins

28. 28

    Step 28: Color these purple: Pulmonary Artery Left Ventricle Right Ventricle

29. 29

    Step 29: Color these blue: Superior Vena Cava Inferior Vena Cava

30. 30

    Step 30: Color this red: Aorta

31. 31

    Step 31: Make sure to label the following: Superior Vena Cava Inferior Vena Cava Pulmonary Artery Pulmonary Veins Left Ventricle Right Ventricle Left Atrium Right Atrium Mitral Valves Aortic Valves Aorta Pulmonic Valve (Optional) Tricuspid Valve (Optional)

32. 32

    Step 32: To finish

33. 33

    Step 33: label "The Human Heart" above the sketch.
