$\huge\mathfrak\red{Answer :}$



→ Heart is a hollow, muscular organ present in between two lungs in the 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.

→ It's main function is pumping the blood.

→ It contains two types of blood i.e. Oxygenated and Deoxygenated.

* Oxygenated is send to all parts of the body.

* Deoxygenated is send to lungs to purify it.
