Introduction about Heart
The heart is a muscular organ in most animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. Blood provides the body with oxygen and nutrients, as well as assists in the removal of metabolic wastes. In humans, the heart is located between the lungs, in the middle compartment of the chest. Your heart is vital to your health and nearly everything that goes on in your body. Without the heart's pumping action, blood can't move throughout your body. A healthy heart supplies your body with the right amount of blood at the rate needed to work well. If disease or injury weakens your heart, your body's organs won't receive enough blood to work normally.

provides the body with oxygen and nutrients, as well as assists in

compartment of the chest. Your heart is vital to your health and
nearly everything that goes on in your body. Without the heart's
pumping action, blood can't move throughout your body.
A healthy heart supplies your body with the right amount of
blood at the rate needed to work well. If disease or injury
weakens your heart, your body's organs won't receive enough
blood to work normally.
