Anatomy of the Human Heart

The video provides a comprehensive overview of the human heart's anatomy, including its location, structure, and function. It covers the heart's external features, such as chambers, grooves, and sulci, and details the apex, base, borders, and surfaces. The video also introduces the four heart chambers, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of each.

• Five

• Four

• Three
