Multiple Choice Questions on the heart:

The heart acts as a pump that pumps blood throughout the body. The heart weighs about 200-300 grams for an adult and is about the size of a fist.

The heart is divided into four chambers: the right atrium, the left atrium, the right ventricle, and the left ventricle. There is a valve between the atrium and the ventricle. The valve opens and closes as the pump moves to prevent backflow of blood.

Most of the heart is made up of a muscle called the heart muscle. The strong force of this myocardium causes the heart to pump and pump blood throughout the body.

There are two routes to blood circulation: the blood pumped from the left ventricle returns to the right atrium around the whole body, and the blood pumped from the right ventricle returns to the left atrium through the lungs.

A healthy heart repeats regular contractions about 60 to 100 times a minute. It is the three coronary arteries that surround the surface of the heart that carry the oxygen and nutrients that the heart needs to continue this contraction to the heart muscle .

In addition, the heart is equipped with a system that produces electrical signals that are transmitted quickly and contract the heart muscle. These systems keep the heart pump running smoothly.
