9781330421574: The Heart and Its Function (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

This book unravels the intricate functioning of the heart, our body's motor of life. Historically, the heart and its connection to the overall circulatory system was not fully understood until the 17th century, leading to inaccurate assumptions. The author explores the organ's structure, analyzing the interconnected chambers and valves that ensure the efficient pumping of our lifeblood. Moreover, the book investigates the rhythmical and dynamic relationship between the heart and the circulatory system, highlighting the crucial role of nerves in regulating blood pressure and maintaining the body's vital functions. Beyond its physiological significance, the book delves into the profound influence of emotions on this vital organ, demonstrating how our feelings can have physical manifestations in the form of blushing, palpitations, or even temporary heart stoppage. The author draws upon vivid anecdotes and scientific research to paint a comprehensive portrait of the heart, offering a deeper understanding of its fundamental role in sustaining life.
