"The heart is a hollow organ of muscle which pumps blood to every part of the body. It is located between the lungs in the centre of the chest, protected by the breastbone, ribs and the spine.
The heart is made of strong muscle, called myocardium, and sits in a sac of fibrous tissue - the pericardium. The heart's inner surface, which is in contact with the blood being pumped, is called the endocardium" (Heart Foundation of Australia, 2004). |
