Pulse Run

Steer a single red blood cell around the circulatory loop, right order only, while your oxygen ticks down and the lungs are your only refill.

How to play

Click the next chamber to route your blood cell along the circulatory path: right atrium, right ventricle, lungs, left atrium, left ventricle, body, and repeat. Only the next-in-sequence chamber is a legal move, a wrong turn bounces you all the way back to the lungs. Oxygen decays in real time and reloads at the lungs, so keep moving. Complete the required laps to win.

What you'll learn

Pulse Run teaches the path of blood through the heart and lungs as a real-time route game.

Origins

Routing a blood cell through right atrium, right ventricle, lungs, left atrium, left ventricle and body is the circulatory system as a circuit.

Making the path the whole task is the original design.

The double loop is the thing people get wrong. Blood passes through the heart twice per circuit — once to the lungs, once to the body — so the heart is two pumps side by side, which explains why the left ventricle is so much thicker than the right.
