The Heart

The heart is an internal pump for the body pushing blood throughout the body through a pathway of blood vessels. These blood vessels act as roadways for blood to travel through and get to other organs and parts of the body. The heart creates pressure which pushes the blood through the body allowing oxygen to travel to the furthest extremities. This pressure is referred to as blood pressure.
