Chapter 12.2, Problem 3.6SR
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The heart is a muscular organ. It pumps the blood all over the body through the circulatory system. It pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs and oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. Thus, the human heart is called a dual pump. The heart and the blood vessels together constitute the cardiovascular system. The study of the heart is called cardiology.
