This tutorial is amazing. After you take notes on each of the tutorial subpages, take time and go through the animation on the home page one step at a time. Look at what is happening in the heart. Watch the valves open and close, note where the blood is flowing, is a contraction happening or not... Go through it multiple times make sure that you keep the notes with you all the time.
