A Busy Place

The world is a busy place. People

work, play, and go, go, go! Over here and

over there, something is always happening.

The outside world is very busy. But

there is another busy world, one that you

cant see. Inside of you, under your skin,

your body never stops going. Blood goes

through your body. Air goes in and out.

Yes, your inside world is very busy, too!

An Important Team

In the middle of all this activity, your

heart and lungs are resting snugly inside

your chest. They are an important team!

They work together every moment of

every day to send your body the oxygen

and nutrition it needs. They take good

care of you, so you must be sure to take

good care of them!

The Heart and

How It Works

Your heart is in your chest, between

your lungs and just left of the center. It is

about the size of a closed fist.

People sometimes think a heart is

the shape of a valentine. A real heart

looks nothing like that.

How Blood Moves

Blood travels from your heart to

all parts of your body through

your arteries. Blood returns to

your heart through your veins.

Your heart pumps blood through

your body. Blood brings oxygen to your

bodys cells . Living things need oxygen

or they will die. Once your cells receive

the oxygen, the blood returns to your

heart to get more. Then your blood is

pumped out again.

In and out, in and out: that is how

your heart pumps your blood.

Heartbeats

Did you know that

your heart beats about

100,000 times a day? It

just keeps beating on its

own. You do not have to

think about it to make it

happen.

Blood Pressure

When you go to the doctor, the

nurse will check your blood

pressure using a stethoscope

and a blood pressure cuff. High

blood pressure could lead to

serious health problems, such as

heart failure or a stroke.
