where is the heart specifically located?
The heart is located slightly to the left side of the ribcage. It cannot be morphologically located. You are at a better position to locate the position of your own heart withâ¦ a stethoscope. This device helps you in locating the heart by listening to the heart beat.
The heart is a muscular organ about the size of a fist, located just behind and slightly left of the breastbone. The heart pumps blood through the network of arteries and veins called the cardiovascular system. The heart has four chambers: 1  The right atrium receives blood from the veins and pumps it to the right ventricle.  The right ventricle receives blood from the right atrium and pumps it to the lungs, where it is loaded with oxygen.
