What is Heart |
|
|
The normal human heart is a strong, muscular pump a little larger than a fist. Each day an average heart 'beats' (expands and contracts) 100,000 times and pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood. The heart continuously pumps oxygenated and nutrient rich blood continuously to all parts of the body via/through blood vessels. |
