Chapter 19, Problem 6RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The base of the heart.
Introduction:
The heart is located between the chest and the lungs above the diaphragm and behind the sternum. The heart has a pointed apex that is present left to the midsternal line. The heart has four chambers, two auricles and two ventricles. The chambers have atrioventricular and semilunar valves that prevent the backflow of blood.
