  1. Heart By: Maricela Contreras R.T.(R)(ARRT)

  2. Commonly used root word of the Heart is: Cardi/o Cardiac (pertaining to the heart)

  3. What Is A Heart and what Does it do?

  4. The Heart Your heart is really a muscle. It's located a little to the left of the middle of the mediastinum, and it's about the size of your fist. The heart muscle is special because of what it does. The heart sends blood around your body (circulatory system). The blood provides your body with the oxygen and nutrients it needs. Your heart is sort of like a pump, or two pumps in one. The right side of your heart receives deoxygenated blood cells from the body and pumps it to the lungs. The left side of the heart does the exact opposite: It receives oxygenated blood cells from the lungs and pumps it out to the body.

  5. The blood is pumped by the heart and It moves through many tubes called arteries (red oxygenated blood) and veins (blue deoxygenated blood), which together are called blood vessels. These blood vessels are attached to the heart. The blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called arteries. The ones that carry blood back to the hear are called veins.
