The human heart
The heart is a muscular
organ located between the
lungs in the centre of the
chest (thorax), and is about
the size of a fist.
It pumps blood continuously
around the body. An organism
can lose conscious within just
a few seconds if the brain is
deprived of blood.
In foetuses, the heart begins
beating about 5–6 weeks after
conception.

Cardiac muscle
The heart mainly consists of cardiac muscle tissue, which
like smooth muscle (but not skeletal muscle), contracts
involuntarily.
Cardiac muscle is
made up of cells that
are connected by
cytoplasmic bridges.
This enables electrical
impulses to pass
through the tissue.
It contains large numbers of mitochondria and
myoglobin molecules.
