Where is your heart in relation to your lungs?
Trachea is in superior to the heart. It divides into two branches in back of (posterior to) the upper part of the heart; in other words, the heart is anterior and inferior to the trachea.

The heart is in front of and below the trachea (nearer the waist). Both are in the center of the chest left to right, they are not beside each other left to right.

Is Arteries and The Heart the same thing?
The artery and the heart are both part of the cardiovascular system, but they differ in meaning. Arteries carry blood away from the heart. They are thick-walled and elastic. Blood from the arteries is under high pressure since it has just come from the heart. A cut in the artery may be fatal due to blood loss. However, this thickness, elasticity, and location protect it from damage. The heart is like the central station. It is a powerful muscular organ. It is also responsible for the circulation of blood.
