The highest point of the Kilimanjaro at the crater Kibo is called Uhuru Peak. At 19,340 ft (5,895 m) above sea level, it is Africaâs highest elevation point. Mawenzi (east of Kibo) rises to 16,896 ft (5,149 m), and Shira (west of Kibo) to 13,000 ft (3,962 m).
Two atria and one ventricle make up the three-chambered heart of a snake. The right and left atria receive blood from the lungs and body, respectively, and pass it to the ventricle to be circulated again. Encased in a sac, called the pericardium, the heart is located at the branching of the bronchi.
The heart is located in the thoracic cavity. This places the heart between the lungs, behind the sternum, in front of the thoracic vertabrae, and above the diaphragm. The heart's apex (conical tip) lies on the diaphragm and points to the left of the body. It is at the apex where the heartbeat is most easily felt and heard through the stethoscope.
