The human heart is a muscular organ that is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. It is located in the chest cavity, slightly to the left of the center. The heart is divided into four chambers: the right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle.
The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the superior and inferior vena cava. It then pumps the blood into the right ventricle, which then pumps the blood to the lungs to be oxygenated.
The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs through the pulmonary veins. It then pumps the blood into the left ventricle, which is the strongest chamber of the heart. The left ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood out to the rest of the body through the aorta.
The heart is surrounded by a protective sac called the pericardium, and it is supplied with blood by the coronary arteries. The heart also has a system of valves that ensure blood flows in the correct direction.
Overall, the human heart is a vital organ that plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's circulation and delivering oxygen and nutrients to all the cells in the body.

Human Heart
Location: Mediastinum, thoracic cavity
Parts:
1. Atria (plural)
- Right atrium: Receives deoxygenated blood from body
- Left atrium: Receives oxygenated blood from lungs
2. Ventricles (plural)
- Right ventricle: Pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs
- Left ventricle: Pumps oxygenated blood to body
3. Valves
- Tricuspid valve: Between right atrium and ventricle
- Pulmonary valve: Between right ventricle and pulmonary artery
- Mitral (bicuspid) valve: Between left atrium and ventricle
- Aortic valve: Between left ventricle and aorta
4. Papillary muscles: Project from ventricle walls, attach to valve flaps, prevent backflow of blood
5. Chordae tendineae: Thin, fibrous cords that connect papillary muscles to valve flaps
6. Aorta: Largest artery in body, carries oxygenated blood away from heart
7. Pulmonary artery: Carries deoxygenated blood from heart to lungs
8. Pulmonary veins: Carry oxygenated blood from lungs to heart
9. Coronary arteries: Supply blood to heart muscle itself
10. Coronary sinus: Drains deoxygenated blood from heart muscle
