The heart and lungs are functionally linked through the pulmonary circulation system, where the heart pumps blood to the lungs for reoxygenation as described in [1], [2], and [3]. Additionally, they are anatomically related as vital organs housed together within the thoracic cavity, as noted in [4], [5], and [6].

claimSerous membranes form fluid-filled sacs, or cavities, that cushion and reduce friction on internal organs when they move, such as when the lungs inflate or the heart beats.
claimThe ventral body cavity is a larger body cavity located anterior to the dorsal body cavity, including the pleural cavities for the lungs, the pericardial cavity for the heart, and the peritoneal cavity for the abdominal and pelvic organs.
claimThe thoracic cavity is a division of the ventral body cavity that houses the heart, lungs, esophagus, and trachea.
claimThe thoracic cavity is the chest region and contains the trachea, bronchi, lungs, esophagus, heart, great blood vessels, thymus gland, lymph nodes, and nerves.
referenceThe thoracic cavity is the superior subdivision of the anterior cavity, is enclosed by the rib cage, and contains the lungs and the heart, with the heart located in the mediastinum.

claimThe right side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary circulation of the lungs for reoxygenation, while the left side of the heart simultaneously pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic circulation to distribute it to peripheral tissues.
claimThe circulatory system consists of three separate circuits: the pulmonary circulation (between heart and lungs), the coronary circulation (supplying blood to the heart muscle), and the systemic circulation (carrying blood to the rest of the body).

procedurePulmonary circulation involves the right side of the heart pumping oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery, where the blood releases carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen before returning to the left side of the heart through the pulmonary veins.
