Knowing Your Heart

The human heart is a muscular organ, and it is the strongest muscle in our body. Our heart is located in the centre of our chest, slightly underneath and to the left of our breastbone (sternum) in the thoracic area. It is protected by the ribcage.

As the main organ in the cardiovascular system and central part of the circulatory system, our heart is an important organ. When our heart beats, it pumps oxygenated blood throughout our body via blood vessels or the circulatory system. In this way, oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other vital substances are transported to every part of our body while carbon dioxide and other metabolic wastes are removed from the blood vessels.
