The heart itself is a muscle. These contractions generate the force, which is the force of contraction, which results in a decrease in the venticular volume in case of the ventricles or decrease in the atrial volume in case of the atria, this is followed by an increase in the venticular or atrial pressure respectively. which allow ejection of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to flow into and out of it to circulate throughout the body. thus giving you air to breathe and blood to pump to stay alive.
