When we talk about heart in English: good heart 心地善良; broken heart 伤心, our imagination will lead to this :
The
same things happened when we talked in Malays Language : baik hati 好心, sakit hati 心痛 。
Actually, what does a heart ( jantung ) looks like?
Your
heart is about the same size as a pear. It sits behind your sternum (which
is the bone between the two sides of your ribs) and your ribs on the left side
of your body just next to your sternum.

The
heart pumps blood around the body to all of the organs, muscles and other parts
of the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrients which the body
needs to work properly, and it also carries waste products that we do not need
away from the muscles and organs.
By
the way, what does a “hati” (liver) looks like?
It
looks like a reddish brown wedge.It lies on the right hand side of your
abdominal cavity underneath the diaphragm and behind the ribs.
Liver makes glucose from carbohydrates . Some of this glucose travels in
the blood to the rest of the body where it is used for energy. Some of the
glucose is stored in the liver as glycogen and it is there until your body
needs to use extra energy. It also helps to keep blood glucose at the right levels. Our
liver makes bile then stores it in the gall bladder until the body needs some
to digest fats.

The coronary arteries supply the heart of blood. If the arteries become blocked or narrowed due to cardiovascular problems, an individual may be at risk of a heart attack. More Information
