Question
Chapter 15, Problem 1P
Summary Introduction

To determine:

The location of the heart.

Introduction:

The heart is a muscular organ which is responsible for pumping blood in the whole body. It pumps oxygenated blood to the body. It collects deoxygenated blood from the body and passes it to the lungs for purification. It pumps blood through a network of arteries and veins that forms cardiovascular system. Its size is as small as the size of a clenched fist. Along with oxygen, it transports nutrients and removes metabolic waste through blood.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

The heart is a muscular organ made up of cardiac muscles. It is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood in the body and removal of deoxygenated blood from the body. It has four chambers. Left auricle and left ventricle carries oxygenated blood, while right auricle and right ventricle carry deoxygenated blood.

The heart is surrounded by lungs, vertebral column, and sternum. The base of the heart is located below the second rib and is connected with many large blood vessels. It is located on the left side of the body.

Conclusion

The heart is located in the left side in close proximity with lungs. It is responsible for pumping blood in body and removal of metabolic waste from the body.
