Understanding the External Structure of the Heart

What is the Heart?


The heart, which is slightly larger than a clenched fist, is a double, self-adjusting muscular pump. The two parts normally working in unison. It pumps blood through blood vessels to the various parts of the body. In the human body, the heart is usually situated in the middle of the thorax with the largest part of the heart slightly offset to the left underneath the breastbone. It is felt to be on the left side of the chest because the left ventricle pumps stronger than the right pumping blood to the whole body.

The boy died because then nothing was known of blood groups or blood compatibility.
