Detailed explanation-1: -Your heart is located in the front of your chest. It sits slightly behind and to the left of your sternum (breastbone).
Detailed explanation-2: -Your heart is roughly the size of a fist and sits in the middle of your chest, slightly to the left. It’s the muscle at the centre of your circulation system. It pumps blood around your body as your heart beats.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your heart is about the size of a clenched fist, and weighs between 300 and 450 g. It lies in the middle of your chest, behind and slightly to the left of your breastbone.
Detailed explanation-4: -Since the heart tilts to the left, the left lung is smaller than the right and has an indentation called the cardiac impression to accommodate the heart. This indentation shapes the inferior and anterior parts of the superior lobe into a thin tongue-like process called the lingual.
