The heart is a muscular (double) pump whose vital task is to pump the blood and keep it circulating in a life-long journey throughout the body. It’s readily apparent that the heart has to be powerful and efficient to do all the endless work required in it’s lifetime. Consider what the heart must do: during rest or inactivity the blood makes one round trip (through the circulatory system) per minute; during activity or heavy exercise it may make as many as 9 trips a minute in order to supply the needed fuel for the increased energy and to remove the burnt-out wastes. Even during rest the heart pumps an average of 1,800 gallons of blood every 24-hours, yet it’s no bigger than your fist. The tissues of the body – including the heart – need oxygen to spark the chemical reaction which provides energy, just as a fire needs oxygen before it will burn and generate heat. The blood’s important function is to carry oxygenated blood to nourish all the body’s tissues. The oxygen is first picked up in both lungs, then this oxygen-enriched blood (reddish in color) travels to the heart, from there it is then pumped to the tissues where the oxygen content is exchanged for waste. This blood, depleted of oxygen, turns bluish in color as it makes a return trip to the heart to be pumped back into the lungs.Thus the heart is receiving 2 types of blood simultaneously: * supplies of oxygen-enriched blood from the lungs and * oxygen-depleted blood from the tissues. To keep these two streams separated, the heart chamber is divided in half by a muscular partition called the septum. The left and right chambers formed by the septum are each divided into two compartments. The auricle, which has a thin wall, has little pumping action and serves mainly as a reservoir. The other is the ventricle which has a thick, muscular wall and does the main pumping. The heart pumps approximately 1 million barrels of blood and beats about 3 billion times during a 70 year lifetime – that’s enough blood to fill more than 3 super tankers. – Nova Dateline The object of the blood circulating is to ensure that all the body's cells will be regularly supplied with food and oxygen, and regularly cleared of toxic substances. To achieve this objective, your 60,000 mile intricate network of blood vessels run throughout your body.
