Enclosed in its own little sac (pericardium), the heart rests on the diaphragm, between the lower borders of the lungs, the middle of your mediastinum (center chest), and in the thoracic region of your spinal cord. Essentially, if you take your right fist, place it between your L breast and your center "breastbone" that would be the approximate size and location of your heart.
Anatomically speaking the two are not related. While the former lies in the thorax, the latter is in the abdomen. But the heart can be considered superior to the liver, with diaphragm and other structures in between.
The heart is anchored to the diaphragm in order to keep it in place. The diaphragm also reduces friction to the outer membranes of the heart.
it is located above the diaphragm
The heart is located above the diaphragm and slightly left of the center of the chest, between the lungs.
The heart lies superior to the diaphragm, between the two lungs.
Many biology and medical textbooks contain anatomically correct drawings of the heart. Online medical resources will also offer images of anatomically correct organs.
The heart is located above the diaphragm, which is a muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. Specifically, the heart is situated in the thoracic cavity, slightly to the left of the midline, while the diaphragm lies below it, playing a crucial role in respiration. Thus, the heart is not "about" the diaphragm but rather positioned in relation to it.
