We see and listen about heart everywhere.

A
long time ago, people even thought that their
emotions came from their heart, perhaps
because the heart beats quicker when a
person is terrified or energized. Let’s see what
does it look like. What is its function. And lots
more.
COLOUR:-PINKISH
SIZE :- SIZE OF A FIST
WEIGHT :- MALES-300 grams.
FEMALES-225 grams
SHAPE-CONE SHAPED
COVERING:-HEART IS PROTECTED BY A DOUBBLE
WALLED MEMBRANOUS COVERING CALLED
PERICARDIUM.IT CONTAINS LUBRICATING
PERICARDIUM FLUID WHICH REDUCES FRICTION
DURING HEART BEAT AND PROTECTS IT FROM
MECHANICAL INJURIES.

LOCATION:-NOT ON THE LEFT SIDE,

BUT IT IS CENTRALLY SITUATED,ABOVE THE
DIAPHRAGM IN THE RIBCAGE.NARROW END OF
THE ROUGHLY TRIANGULAR HEART IS POINTED
TO THE LEFT SIDE {SEE FIGURE} AND DURING
WORKING CONTRACTION OF HEART IS MOST
POWERFULL AT THIS END GIVING A FEELING OF
HEART BEAT ON LEFT SIDE.
CHAMBERS IN HEART

AURICLES {MARKED 4 & 9} ARE TOW

UPPER CHAMBERS.
VENTRICLES ARE TWO LOWER
CHAMBERS.
AURICLES :-THEY HAVE THINNER
WALLS BECAUSE THEIR MAJOR
FUNCTION IS TO RECEIVE BLOOD
FROM BODY.
VENTRICLES :-THEY HAVE THICK
MUSCULAR WALL BECAUSE THEY
HAVE TO PUMP BLOOD TO LONG
DISTANCE
 BLOOD VESSELS ENTERING HEART

ANTERIOR VANA CAVA {MARKED AS 6} -

BRING DEOXYGINATED BLOOD TO RIGHT
AURICLE FROM UPPER BODY PARTS.

POSTERIOR VANA CAVA- {MARKED AS 1}

CAVA-BRING DEOXYGINATED BLOOD TO
RIGHT AURICLE FROM LOWER BODY PARTS

BESIDE THIS 4 PULMONARY VEINS ARE RECEIVED BY LEFT

AURICLE.THEY BRING OXYGINATED BLOOD.
 BLOOD VESSELS LEAVING HEART

PULMONARY ARTERY {MARKED AS 5} –IT

CARRIES DEOXYGINATED BLOOD TO
LUNGS FOR OXYGINATION FROM RIGHT
VENTRICLE.

AORTA –CARRIES OXYGINATED BLOOD

TO BODY PARTS FROM LEFT VENTRICLE.

CORONARY ARTERIES {MARKED AS 3} ARISE AT BASE

OF AORTA.THEY SUPPLY BLOOD TO HEART MUSLES
.THEIR BLOCKAGE LEAD TO MYOCARDIAL INFRACTION
OR HEART ATTACK.
