Position - placed in the thoracic cavity behind sternum, in between the lungs

Answer 2

Answer:

Crab

Explanation:

• In chordates as opposed to non-chordates, the heart is located ventrally.
• A fish is a chordate, as opposed to an earthworm, cockroach, snail, crab, or starfish.

• A muscular chamber found in almost all vertebrates is the heart.
• Prior to being circulated, the blood is pumped out of the body to remove oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.

The ventral and dorsal features of the heart signify:

• The backside of the heart, or the dorsal side, is close to the vertebral body.
• The front side facing the chest is known as the ventral side. The right ventricle, which is situated on the ventral surface and faces the outer sternum, is present.
