Detailed explanation-1: -Your heart is located between your lungs in the middle of your chest, behind and slightly to the left of your breastbone (sternum). A double-layered membrane called the pericardium surrounds your heart like a sac.
Detailed explanation-2: -The right border of the heart extends just over 1 cm to the right of the sternum, between the 3rd and 6th intercostal cartilages. It is composed mainly of the right atrium. The inferior border runs from the 6th costal cartilage on the right, through the xiphisternal joint, to the 5th intercostal space on the left.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are many organs inside the rib cage. These vital organs include the lungs, bronchi, trachea, and pleura from the respiratory system. Additionally, the heart, major vessels, and pericardium are from the cardiovascular system and are inside the rib cage.
