ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HUMAN HEART.
Abstract
This scientific article examines the anatomical structure, physiological functions, and clinical significance of the human heart. The heart is considered one of the most vital organs in the human body because it maintains blood circulation and ensures the continuous transportation of oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and metabolic substances throughout the organism. The article discusses the external and internal anatomy of the heart, including its chambers, layers, valves, blood supply, conducting system, and functional mechanisms. Furthermore, the importance of the cardiovascular system in maintaining homeostasis and overall human health is analyzed. Special attention is also devoted to cardiovascular diseases, preventive healthcare, and the role of anatomy in modern medicine.
