 ANATOMY OF THE HEART
 The heart is a hollow muscular organ . it is a
muscular four-chambered pump that beats
constantly to keep blood flowing to the rest of
your body. The heart is situated in front of the
chest between the lungs. Approximately two-
thirds of its mass is situated to the left of the
median plane.
 The heart is surrounded by a double
membrane which is called the pericardium. It
contains fluid which lubricates the heart. The
heart is divided into a right half and a left half
by a wall of tissue.
ANATOMY OF THE HEART
 The upper chambers of the heart are
called atria and the lower chambers are
called ventricles. The right atrium and the
right ventricle are connected by a valve,
and so are the left atrium and the left
ventricle. Another valve is situated
between the right ventricle and
pulmonary artery, and a fourth between
the left ventricle and the aorta. These are
called the semilunar valves because they
are shaped like cresent moons.
