OverviewAI-generated

The heart is an organ within the circulatory system, found in the taxon Animalia. It is located in the cavity of the bony thorax and connects with arteries and veins. The structure includes cardiac chambers and the myocardium. It is supplied by the right and left coronary arteries and drained by the superior vena cava. The organ is innervated by the cardiac plexus.

Its primary function is blood circulation, during which it produces heart sounds. The subject is studied by cardiology and is described by sources such as the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary and the Encyclopædia Britannica 11th edition. It is referenced by 2,940 other encyclopedia articles. The Unicode character 🫀 represents the heart.
