Chapter 1 - The Human Body Anatomy is the science relating to the structural organisation of living organisms. Physiology is the science relating to the operational functions of living organisms. The many parts and systems of the body are integrated and function co-operatively to provide a healthy living body via 6 hierarchy levels of structural organisation. The basic or first level is the Chemical Level‚ where atoms are combined to form molecules. The second level is the Cellular Level

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF HUMAN HEART The human heart is a cone shape‚ hollow‚ muscular organ located in the mediastinum between the lungs. It is a about the size of an adult fist. The heart rests on the diaphragm‚ tilting forward and to the left in the client’s chest. Each beat of the heart pumps about 60ml of blood‚ or 5L/min. During strenuous physical activity‚ the heart can double the amount of blood pumped to meet the increased oxygen needs of the peripheral tissues. ANTERIOR VIEW
