CASE STUDY
18. The heart is an organ which beats continuously to act as a pump for the transport of blood, which carries
other substances with it .Imagine a pump working for years without stopping! Absolutely impossible.
Yet our heart works like a pump non-stop. The heart is located in the chest cavity with its lower tip
slightly tilted towards the left. Heart is roughly the size of fist .The heart has four chambers.
The two upper chambers are called the atria (singular: atrium) and the two lower chambers are called the
ventricles. The partition between the chambers helps to avoid mixing up of blood rich in oxygen with
the blood rich in carbon dioxide.
1) Which organs acts as a pump in the body to transport blood to all the different tissues,
muscles and cells?
2) The two upper chambers of heart are called as ________________
(a) Ventricles
(b) Atria
(c) Lungs
(d) None
3) The size of heart equivalent to which part of the human body?
(a) Lungs
(b) Kidney
(c) Fist
(d) Hands
