Human heart consist of four room,two upper & two lower. Upper two (small) called right & left Olinda and lower two right & left Niloy. Unpurified blood (with carbon dy oxide) of human body comes right side of heart through different vein. From there goes to lungs (Fusfus). Lungs makes it purified with oxygen & again send it to left side of heart. Then heart make pump the purified blood to the entire cell of body through artery. Thus we can leave. This pumping of heart called as Heart bit. Blood goes slightly to heart by every pumping and each pumping (trembling) is Pulse. Doctors count it from the wrist and hear by stethoscope.



A chart of pulse rate different

Bhrune : 140-150 times per minute
