What aspect of the human heart's functioning or anatomy fascinates you the most, considering its crucial role in maintaining the body's overall health?
Heart Function Overview:
- Muscular organ in the chest.
- Pumps blood throughout the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients.
Heart Chambers:
- Divided into four chambers: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle.
- Blood flow: body → right atrium → right ventricle → lungs (oxygenation) → left atrium → left ventricle → body.
Electrical Impulses and Pacemaker:
- Electrical impulses control heart contractions.
- Sinoatrial (SA) node, known as the "pacemaker," initiates impulses.
- Impulses travel through atria, atrioventricular (AV) node, and ventricles.
Cardiac Cycle Phases:
- Diastole: Heart is relaxed, blood flows into atria and ventricles.
- Systole: Heart contracts, pumping blood out of the ventricles.
Oxygen and Nutrient Supply:
- Heart's complex processes ensure the body is supplied with oxygen and nutrients.
Overall Significance:
- The heart's role in maintaining vital functions is achieved through these intricate processes during the cardiac cycle.
