Where is the human heart situated?

Your heart is located in the left upper quadrant of the torso. (Your left, not the left of whoever is looking at you.) To approximate the location (and size): * extend your thumb and pinkie of your right hand as far to the sides as you can, bending the other 3 fingers. * place your thumb on the central notch in your collar bone and your pinky as far down your sternum (breast bone) as it comfortably falls with your thumb in place. * leaving your pinkie touching where it is, bring the rest of your hand down and to the left, forming a fist * Your fist symbolizes the size and location of your heart. Your heart shares the thoracic cavity with your lungs and stomach.
