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.
The rib bones protect vital organs such as the heart and lungs by forming a protective cage around them. Additionally, they provide structure and support to the torso, allowing for the expansion and contraction of the chest during breathing.

The rib cage offers protection to the heart by acting as a shield against physical injury. Placing the heart behind the rib cage also keeps it securely anchored in place, reducing the risk of damage from excessive movement or trauma. Additionally, the position of the heart behind the rib cage allows for optimal blood flow and functioning.
Our rib cage and sternum protect our lungs and heart by providing a sturdy and protective enclosure. The rib cage acts as a frame to protect the delicate organs within, while the sternum provides additional support and stability. Working together, they help safeguard our lungs and heart from external forces.
