The Anatomy of The Heart

The Heart

An essential organ of the human body, located in the left side of the chest, partially behind the lung.

What is the main function of the heart?
The heart's main function is to flow blood through the body, through its complicated system of arteries and veins. With every pulse, the heart sends blood to circulate through the body's blood vessels. It is located in the chest, partially behind the left lung. The heart is essential because the entire body's limbs and organs requires blood circulation to be able to move, feel and touch. If the heart stopped beating, we would be killed immediately. 



This is what the heart looks like. The pale pink and yellow pipes are called arteries, the veins which blood pumps through. Consuming too much sugar can clog your arteries and cause heart attacks or heart disease. 

This has been my anatomy of the heart.
