MR. HEART A hollow, pump like organ of blood circulation, composed mainly of rhythmically contractile smooth muscle, located in the chest between the lungs and slightly to the left and consisting of four chambers. When 140 bpm, you're having a baby girl . Below 140 bpm, you're carrying a boy . When under pregnancy, can detect baby by those heart beat rate. It’s Pure white in color. Weight is abt 280-340 g in males and 230-280 g in females.

Location Is located in the Thoracic cavity Posterior to the Sternum Superior to the Diaphragm Between the Lungs The Tip of the Heart is called “Apex”
The Heart consists of Four Cell Layers: The Endo Cardium (Inner layer of the Heart) is formed by Endothelial cells , and it lines in the Interior of the Heart chambers and Valves. The Myo Cardium (Heart Muscles) is the muscular middle layer of the Heart that consists of Heart muscle Cells
The Epi- Cardium (Outer layer of the Heart )is formed by Epithelial cells , and forms the outer cell layer of the Heart The Peri- Cardium (surrounding the Heart)is a membranous sac that surrounds the Heart. It consists of two layers: The Visceral pericardium(adheres to the epi- cardium) Parietal pericardium (outer coat) Pericardial cavity(space between those two layers & it also contains Peri- cardial fluid
Four layers of Human Heart
Endo-cardium Myo-cardium
Structure of the heart It is divided into the Left and Right side by partitions called septa (Singular septum) Interatrial septum separates the two Upper chambers , called Atria Interventricular septum separates the two Lower chambers, called Ventricles
CHAMBERS OF THE HEART The heart is divided into Four chambers: A: Right Atrium V: Right Ventricle A: Left Atrium V: Left Ventricle
Heart Chambers The Human Heart has Four chambers , which are responsible for pumping blood and maintaining blood circulation throughout the body. The four chambers are : Blood is only pumped to one direction. Four Heart Valves ensure that blood does not flow backward within the Heart
Valves of the Heart Valves are located within the chambers of the Heart Function of the Valves: Controls the direction of blood flow Allows one way flow of blood -through chambers -From the Heart to the body
The Four valves are known as: The tricuspid valve The pulmonic (or) Pulmonary valve The Mitral valve The Aortic valve
Functions of Heart
Heart functions to circulate blood around the body .The right and left side of the Heart pump blood into two different circulations. Right side pumps deoxygenated (without oxygen)blood into pulmonary circulation, while the left side pumps oxygenated blood into systematic circulation. Blood enters the right atrium, which pumps the blood into the right ventricle. The tricuspid valve prevents blood from flowing backward into right atrium. The right ventricle pumps the blood into the pulmonary artery by the way through pulmonary valve
pulmonary artery will deliver the deoxygenated blood to the lungs , where gas exchange occurs Oxygen is taken from the air into the blood (oxygenated blood) while carbon-dioxide is expelled from the blood into the air . The oxygenated blood returns to the left side of the Heart by the way through the pulmonary veins The oxygenated blood enters the left atrium. The left atrium pumps blood into the left ventricle . The mitral valve prevents blood from flowing backward into the left atrium . The left ventricle pumps the blood into the aorta & systemic circulation . The oxygenated blood is delivered everywhere in the body (besides the lungs )
Blood circulation Blood circulates around the body by the way through two distinct pathways; The pulmonary circulation The systemic circulation Together they create a closed pathways that keep the deoxygenated & oxygenated blood separated.
Contraction of the Heart The contraction of the muscular wall of the heart chambers, Myo- cardium generates the force to pump blood. The Heart contraction is divided into two phases : Systole (contraction) & Diastole (Relaxation) Blood is pumped from the chambers during a contraction phase. Heart chambers are filled with blood during a relaxation phase.
