Review (in 1996):
The human heart beats two and a half million times in an average lifetime (more than that for you coffee drinkers). The Franklin Institute's "virtual heart" presentation is a good way to spend a few dozen of those heart beats.
This is real scientific stuff, not a kiddie trip, though it is presented as a tour. Learn about blood types - a person with Type AB blood can receive a blood transfusion from any type donor, for instance - or compare x-rays of a normal-sized and enlarged heart.
The whole interactive enchilada is here: movies, audio segments (they call the two heart sounds "lub" and "dub"), and pictures decorated with lavish descriptions and explanations. You can actually watch a move of the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the capillaries and arteries.
Your fascination here "will lead to understanding and respect".
As reviewed in the 1996 "World Wide Web Top 1000" - a review of the Top 5% of all Web Sites in 1996.
