Your heat beats 101,000 times a day. During your lifetime, it will beat about 3 billion times and pump about 800 million pints (378 million litres) of blood. A normal heart beats 70 to 80 times a minute. Over 70 and 80 years, it gives a few billion beats. It is the powerful machine inside you.

A heart consists of two pumps, each made of two. The right atrium squirts oxygen-depleted blood from the body into the right ventricle, which pumps it to the lungs.

With each heartbeat, the two small atria contract together, then the two large ventricles, making the beating sound.
