CARDIAC HISTOSTRUCTURE, FUNCTION AND FORMATION
Medical science
Keywords:
Heart , blood, function, oxygen.Abstract
The heart is a four-chambered organ responsible for pumping throughout the body. It receives deoxygenated blood from the body, sends it to the lung, receives oxygenated blood from the lungs, and then distributes the oxygenated blood throughout the body. At the histological level, the cellular features of the heart play a vital role in the normal function and adaptations of the heart.
