You can feel your heart beat (faintly) in your toe because there are blood vessels and capillaries (very very small blood vessels) all throughout your body, including your toe. These blood vessels are actively channeling blood throughout your body like hoses, and the heart is the pump pushing it through. You can feel you heartbeat best right after a jog or good session of exercise especially if you haven't had your bottle of water. Other regions where your heartbeat is best felt and/or measured are the carotid areas (right below your jawline) your brachial arteries (on either arm just past the armpit and before the elbow) and your femoral arteries (right on your pelvic bones (hip bones)).

Does your heart beat fast when someone swears at you?

I'm going to pretend that it way a mistake putting this question in the category of 'Elephants'. Basically, many things make your heart beat fast. Mainly physical or emotional strain. That means that if you something makes you afraid or excited it means that the rate at which your heart is pumping blood around your body can increase. So to be fair, if that person makes you feel afraid when that swear at you, which is a natural response for most, your heart will probably 'beat fast'. Or if them swearing excites you, or makes you angry, that could make your heart beat faster also. It really depends on how you are. I hope i wasn't wasting my time and i hope that helped.
