How Blood Travels In and Out
Your heart has four special rooms: two on top and two at the bottom. The top rooms get blood that’s been used up, it's like tired superheroes who need to rest and recharge. The bottom rooms send out fresh, strong blood, like new superheroes ready for action.
When your heart beats, it pushes the blood from the bottom rooms out through big tubes called blood vessels, just like when you push water out of a hose with your foot.
Then the tired blood comes back to the top rooms, where it gets refreshed again. This whole trip takes about 2 minutes, that’s how fast your heart works!
Your heart never stops working, even when you're sleeping, it's like your favorite toy that keeps going and going!
Examples
