Not really sure what you mean by the base, the ventricles contract from the Apex (which is at the bottom) upwards.
The base of the heart.
The apex of the heart is inferior to the rest of the heart. The base is superior to the rest of the heart.
the base
The aortic arch is closer to the base of the heart.
No, the apex of the heart is significantly below the clavicle. The base of the heart is slightly below the clavicle.
The cardial apex means the apex of the heart. This is the "pointed" end or the tip. The top is called the base.
It has valves. The TRICUSPID valve between the right atrium and right ventricle and the BICUSPID valve between the left atrium and left ventricle. These valves open as the atria contract and close as the atria relax. The heart also has two SEMI-LUNAR valves at the base of the pulmonary artery and the aorta to prevent back flow from the arteries too. They open as the ventricles contract and close as the ventricles relax. Hope this helps :) Kim Walsh x
There are four chambers of the heart and two major regions (the base and the apex).
No, they're aren't any valves in the arteries.
The heart is approximately conical in shape. It is well tilted that its apex is directed forwards, downwards and to the left and the base directed upwards and backwards. The apex is mainly formed by the left ventricle while the base is mainly posterior part of left atrium.
