The Human Heart

The human heart is slightly bigger than the size of ones fist. It is
situated at a very safe place which is between the cage bones, i.e.,
in the center of the chest. Usually it is slightly on the left side of
the chest but in rare cases, it can be found on the right side. Heart
is responsible for the blood flow to every single part of the body
by constant contraction and relaxation of cardiac muscles. This is
the reason why we hear rhythmic beats all the time. Heart pumps
the pure blood to the different

The heart of a human is a vital internal organ consists of cardiac
muscles, which pump and circulate blood contained oxygen,
hormones and necessary nutrients throughout the body. Heart
rate is the amount of poundings of the heart per unit of time,
usually in beats per minute (bpm). The heart rate can change due
to the body ‘s physical needs including oxygen absorption and
carbon dioxide excretion. The normal resting heart rate of an
adult human ranges from 60 to100 beats per minute. During

 The Heart Function : The Structure Of The Human Heart
1343 Words | 6 Pages
From my high school Human Anatomy and Physiology class, I
vaguely remember the structure of the human heart. The human
heart is fairly simple at a non-cellular level. Your heart contains a
right and left atrium, and directly under those, a left and right
ventricle. These are the four chambers of the human heart. Your
heart also has two main exiting arteries: the pulmonary trunk
which exits from the right ventricle and the aorta which exists
from the left ventricle. The pulmonary trunk carries “dirty”

The Heart And Its Function In The Heart Of The Human Body
1231 Words | 5 Pages
The heart is one of the most important organs in the human body.
It circulates blood to the rest of the body. The heart is made up of
four chambers, of the two chambers, the two upper chambers
(known as the atria) and two lower chambers (known as
ventricles). The heart is made up of three levels: the myocardium,
the endocardium, and the epicardium. The myocardium is the
muscular middle layer of the heart. It contains striated cardiac
tissue and the myocardium is in charge of pumping blood and the

Defects Of The Human Heart

In order to understand defects of the human heart, it is important
to first understand its development. Initially, the fetal heart is a
simple tube, consisting of just three layers and three specific
areas. These primitive layers later develop into the myocardium
and epicardium of the heart. The areas – cranial (head) end,
caudal (tail) end, and bulbus cordis – eventually form the aorta
and ventricles. Around the third week of pregnancy, the fetal
heartbeat can be seen as a flicker on the ultrasound

Occupy a sliding scale of complexity. On one hand we have the
single cell organisms, where all necessary functions for their life
are carried out within that one cell. At the other extreme we have
extremely complex multicellular organisms, of which humans are
perhaps the cardinal member. Obviously, with increased capacity
comes increased abilities. Complex organisms are able to
manipulate their environment to a greater extent then their
simpler cousins. While this has a lot of advantages, it also
presents

The Human Heart Of Cardiology
 1475 Words | 6 Pages
Cardiology The human heart has a special characteristic, it has its
own electrical impulse, which allows it to beat normally outside
of the human body as long as it has sufficient oxygen levels. The
term cardiology refers to the medical branch which focuses on
disease and irregularities of the heart. A cardiologist focuses on
the individual area of the body that is the heart and these doctors
focus on preventing and treating illnesses of the whole heart or
single vessels or arteries. Technology
