THE HEART

Hi my name is Kaustubh, in this presentation I

am going to tell about the heart and its
function.
 THE HEART

• Our Heart is a Vital Muscle it is also

known as the cardiac muscle.

• The major function of the heart is to

pump blood.

• During an average lifetime, the heart will

pump nearly 1.5 million gallons of blood.

• A woman’s heart typically beats faster

than a man’s heart. The heart of an
average man beats approximately 70
times a minute and a woman’s heart
beats 78 times a minute.

• The heart is about the same size as our

fist.
• The Pulmonary veins brings all the blood
from the body to the Heart.

• The Pulmonary artery helps the blood to

go to the lungs for the exchange of the
gases which makes our blood rich in
oxygen.

There are four chambers in the heart. They

are right ventricle, left ventricle, right auricle
and the left auricle.

• The blood leaves from the heart to the rest

of the body through aorta

• The inferior vena cava brings the blood

from the abdomen and the parts of the
body below the abdomen.

• The superior vena cava bring blood from

the chest and head.
 THE MOVEMENT OF THE BLOOD

• The deoxygenated blood (bad blood) enters

the heart and go into right atrium and it goes
through a valve and get into right ventricle
after that it goes through a valve the valve is
called pulmonary(tricuspid) valve and go to
the to the lungs by the pulmonary artery.

• After getting in the lungs and the blood and

oxygen mix into each other and made the
oxygenated blood and get into the pulmonary
vein and get into the left atrium and go
through a valve called mitral valve.

• Then it goes to the left ventricle and gets into

the aorta and pump all over the human body.
