It is a muscle and it is one of the strongest. Inside of the heart blood is transferred to either lung to get oxygen in exchange for CO2. The heart is basically the center of the circulatory system. All blood goes through it. All four chambers either contract or expand to flow the blood (both atria contract/expand at the same time, and both ventricles contract/expand at the same time)
