Where is the heart in the human body?

The heart is located slightly to the left in the middle of the chest, that is, a little to the left in the middle of the body's chest. In very few people, the heart position is inverted, and the heart tip is located on the right, which is completely opposite to the normal heart position. Most people with the heart position on the right have no symptoms, and the shape of the heart is slightly inverted conical. The heart is divided into left, right atrium, left and right ventricles. From outside to inside, there are peripheral coronary artery vessels, coronary vein vessels, pericardium, myocardial endocardium, cardiac valve (mitral valve, tricuspid valve, aortic valve, pulmonary valve), aorta connected with left ventricle, pulmonary vein connected with left atrium. The pulmonary artery is connected to the right ventricle and the vena cava is connected to the right atrium. The bottom of your heart is facing back and up to the right. The base of the heart is connected by superior vena cava, pulmonary artery and aorta from right to left.

The heart is located slightly to the left in the middle of the chest, that is, a little to the left in the middle of the body's chest.

In very few people, the position of the heart is reversed, and the tip of the heart is on the right, just like looking in a mirror, which is completely opposite to the position of the normal heart, and it is rare to be on the right. Most of the people whose heart is located on the right have no symptoms, and physical examination found that as long as the function and structure are normal, it does not have any effect on the body. The shape of the heart is slightly inverted conical, about the size of an adult's fist.

The heart is divided into left, right atrium, left and right ventricles; from outside to inside, there are peripheral coronary arteries, coronary veins, pericardium, endocardium, and cardiac valves (mitral valve, tricuspid valve, aortic valve, pulmonary valve). And cardiac conduction system. The aorta is connected to the left ventricle and the pulmonary vein is connected to the left atrium. The pulmonary artery is connected to the right ventricle and the vena cava is connected to the right atrium. The tip of the heart is facing to the left, front and bottom, and the bottom of the heart is facing to the right, back and above. The base of the heart is connected by superior vena cava, pulmonary artery and aorta from right to left. There is a circular coronal groove at the base of the heart, separating the upper atrium from the lower ventricle. There is a longitudinal groove at the front and back of the ventricle, called the anterior interventricular sulcus and the posterior interventricular sulcus, respectively, which marks the boundary between the surface of the left and right ventricles. The left and right atrium protrude the triangular auricle forward and inward.
