Echocardiography is another technology that doctors use to picture the heart. Pulses of harmless sound waves are transmitted into the chest, and the echoes they make are captured on a computer, which can display an image of the heart and blood vessels.

See a video of a heart made using this technology. While you're there, write down the parts of the heart you see labeled in the video.
