Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The PMI (point of maximum impulse) is located at the apex of the heart, which is the lowest part of the heart and is found in the left lower chest. This is the site where auscultation of the heart is commonly done. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. The myocardium is the muscle layer of the heart, the sinoatrial node is the natural pacemaker of the heart, and the great vessels are the large blood vessels that enter and leave the heart. While these structures are important in the function of the heart, they are not the location of the PMI.
