Document Summary

The heart rests on the diaphragm, near the midline of the thoracic cavity in the mediastinum. The pointed end of the heart, the apex, is formed by the tip of the left ventricle (a lower chamber of the heart) and rests on the diaphragm. The base of the heart, its posterior aspect, is formed by the atria (upper chambers of the heart). The anterior surface of the heart is deep to the sternum and ribs. The inferior surface is the portion of the heart that rests mostly on the diaphragm and is found between the apex and right surface. The right surface faces the right lung and extends from the inferior surface to the base; the left surface faces the left lung and extends from the base to the apex. Determining an organ"s surface projection means outlining its dimensions with respect to landmarks on the surface of the body.
