Difference between Heart and Human body

Heart vs. Human body

The heart is a muscular organ in most animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. The human body is the entire structure of a human being.

Similarities between Heart and Human body

Heart and Human body have 41 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Ancient Greece, Andreas Vesalius, Aorta, Aristotle, Artery, Blood pressure, Blood vessel, Calcium, Capillary, Carbon dioxide, Circulatory system, Collagen, CT scan, De humani corporis fabrica, Embryo, Endothelium, Esophagus, Fetus, Galen, Heart, Hippocrates, Inferior vena cava, Ion, Liver, Lung, Magnetic resonance imaging, Medicine, Muscle, Organ (anatomy), ..., Oxygen, Potassium, Renaissance, Small intestine, Sodium, Superior vena cava, Thorax, Tongue, Vein, Vertebral column, William Harvey.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Ancient Greece

Ancient Greece was a civilization belonging to a period of Greek history from the Greek Dark Ages of the 13th–9th centuries BC to the end of antiquity (AD 600).

Circulatory system

The circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system or the vascular system, is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment and help in fighting diseases, stabilize temperature and pH, and maintain homeostasis.
