❤️ How Your Heart Works! ❤️

The amazing pump inside you!

💗 Your Heart is a Pump!

Your heart is like a tiny house with 4 rooms! It pumps blood all around your body, non-stop, every single day!

The blood carries: oxygen (like fuel for your body) and nutrients (tiny building blocks that keep you growing!)

Your heart beats about 100,000 times per day - that's more than 3 billion times in your whole life!

🔄 The Two Loops

Loop 1 - To the Lungs: Blood goes from your heart to your lungs to pick up fresh oxygen (breath in!)

Loop 2 - To the Body: Blood carries that oxygen to every part of your body!

Then the blood comes back to get more oxygen... and the cycle continues!

🫀 Fun Heart Facts!

🫀 Size: About the size of your fist!

💪 Power: Can squirt blood up to 30 feet!

🔊 Sound: "Lub-Dub" is the sound of valves closing!

❤️ Your heart automatically slows down when you sleep and speeds up when you run - it's super smart!
