Question
Chapter 27.4, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason for representing the heart as “two hearts that beat in unison.”
Introduction:
The human heart is a muscular pump which pumps blood continuously throughout the body. It is the same as the size of a human fist. It is made up of cardiac muscles which help in the pumping of blood. It is enclosed in a sac made up of strong connective tissues, and it attaches the heart to the surrounding tissues.
