Detailed explanation-1: -The apex (the most inferior, anterior, and lateral part as the heart lies in situ) is located on the midclavicular line, in the fifth intercostal space. It is formed by the left ventricle. The base of the heart, the posterior part, is formed by both atria, but mainly the left.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is the apex of the heart? The apex of the heart is at the tip of the left and right ventricles. It sits on the opposite side of this organ from the base of the heart. The apex of the heart faces toward the left arm and is closer to the front of the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -In geometry, an apex (plural apices) is the vertex which is in some sense the “highest” of the figure to which it belongs. The term is typically used to refer to the vertex opposite from some “base". The word is derived from the Latin for ‘summit, peak, tip, top, extreme end’.
