Heart Function: The heart is a muscular organ between the lungs and the chest cavity. It is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells and removing waste products. The average heart beats about 100,000 times daily, pumping around 7,570 litres of blood. On average, a heart beats around 2.5 billion times in a lifetime. The heart is about the size of a fist in adults and weighs approximately 250 to 350 grams. The heart has four chambers, the left and right atria, and the left and right ventricles. The pericardium is a double-walled sac that contains a small amount of fluid to reduce friction. The heart's electrical system controls the heartbeat, which can be affected by various factors such as exercise, stress, and disease.
