the heart’s anatomy and physiology. What is the heart? The heart weighs around 350g and is roughly the size of an adult’s clenched fist. It is enclosed in the mediastinal cavity of the thorax between the lungs, and extends downwards on the left between the second and fifth intercostal space (Fig 1). If one draws an imaginary line from the ...

becomes oxygenated and then returns to the heart before delivering the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. The heart has four chambers, and most diagrams will show the heart as it is viewed from the ventral side. This means that as you look at the heart, the left side refers to the "patient's" left side and not your left side.
The Blood Supply to the Heart. Coronary circulation meets heavy demands of myocardium for oxygen, nutrients. Coronary arteries aorta base. (right, left) branch from. Anastomoses (arterial interconnections) ensure constant blood supply. Drainage is to right atrium. Great, middle cardiac veins drain capillaries.

Figure 2. The heart functions as a double ventricle. Blood moves from the body into the right atrium and then into the right ventricle, where it is pumped into the lungs. Blood becomes oxygenated in the lungs, moves into the left atrium and into the left ventricle, where it is pumped into the body again.
