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.
Sternum Rib Cage Spine Scapula Clavicle.
No, the apex of the heart is significantly below the clavicle. The base of the heart is slightly below the clavicle.
Heart is located in the thoracic cavity. Heart remain safe in rib cage.
The heart and lungs are with in the chest, protected by the skeleton's rib cage.
The second rib is located at the sternal angle, which marks the division between the manubrium and body of the sternum. The fifth intercostal space is where the apex of the heart is located, specifically the point of maximal impulse (PMI).

2nd Rib. -NATE G-
The upper flat portion of the heart located at the level of the second rib is the base of the heart. It is where the great vessels such as the aorta and pulmonary arteries are attached, allowing blood to enter and exit the heart. The base of the heart is directed towards the right shoulder and is connected to the diaphragm and spinal column.
Your rib bones help protect your heart and lungs e.g if you didnt have a rib bone your heart and lung wouldt supported :)
The ribcage and muscles on the ribcage protect the heart and the lungs. The pericardium protects the heart as well.

If you mean the heart's apex, it is close to the inferior aspect of the heart. If you mean the lung's apex, it is superior to the heart.
The second rib is classified as an atypical rib because it does not follow the typical rib anatomy pattern. It has a longer and more curved body compared to other ribs, with a prominent angle where it articulates with the sternum. These differences make the second rib distinct from the other ribs in the rib cage.
The apex of the heart is the most inferior part of the heart.
The ribs are connected to the sternum with a strong, somewhat flexible material called cartilage. The rib cage help protects the organs in the chest, such as the heart and lungs, from damage.
