Introduction to Heart

The human heart is located in the thoracic cavity between the lungs, slightly left of the midline.
It's a four-chambered muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the entire body.
The heart is protected by the rib cage and surrounded by the pericardium sac.
It beats approximately 100,000 times per day, circulating 7,500 liters of blood daily.
The heart's position allows efficient blood distribution to all body systems.
