- Identify key blood components like erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets on a blood smear
- Visualize and remember heart anatomy, valves, and one-way blood flow pathways
- Build a strong foundation for physiology concepts like oxygenation, pressure, and circulation
- Understand the intrinsic (cardiac) conduction system system and an Electrocardiogram (EKG)
- Understand different blood types
- Review the dissection of a sheep heart and its anatomical structures
