The Heart is a symbol of love, that is considered to express affection, emotion and love.  However, if we talk about its exact working in our body, then it is totally opposite what we think. The heart is an important part of our body, it is a special muscular organ that continuously pumps oxygen and nutrient rich blood throughout our body.

Without heart, it is not possible to live a single second.
