→ Heart is a hollow, muscular organ present in between two lungs in tye thoraric cavity. It's size is about one's fist. It is 12 cm long and 6 cm wide.
→ It's weight in male is 300 gm and 250 gm in female. It's is reddish brown in colour.
→ It's upper broad part is known as base and lower part is known as Apex.
→ It's is protected by a double members called pericardium, comprising inner visceral pericardium and outer parietal pericardium.
→ Between these layers there is a fluid called pericardium fluid. This fluid provides moisture to the heart and reduce the friction between heart wall and surrounding tissue.
→ A human heart is four chambered. Two upper; smaller chambers called atria and the lower; longer chambers called ventricle.
→ The atrium and ventricle of the same side are separated by atrio-ventricular septum.
→ Atrial septum separates the left and right atria. Inter ventricular septum separates the left and right ventricles.
→ The opening between right atrium and ventricle is guarded by a valve called Tricupsid valve.
→ And the opening between left atrium and ventricle is guarded by a Bicuspid valve.
→ Valves prevent the backward flow of blood and allow the blood to flow in one direction only.
_________________________________
→ First of all, all the deoxygenated blood from the body with the help of superior and inferior vena cava came in heart.
→ After it, it came in Right atrium and then Right ventricle.
→ Contraction of auricles derives most of the blood in into the ventricle. At the end of the auricular systole, auricles start relaxing and the contraction of the ventricles simultaneously.
→ As the contraction of the ventricles begins, the pressure of the blood in the auricles rises. With this pressure, the flaps of the auricular ventricular (A-V) valves are pushes up and meet to close the A-V apertures. This tight closure of the A-V valves at the start of the ventricular contraction produces the first heart beat, which is "Lub".
→ Now the ventricles start relaxing. The semilunar valve close as they get filled the blood trying to return and meet together, closing the outlets of the great arteries.
→ The closing of the semilunar valves at the start of diastole produces the second heart sound "Dup".
