What are heart beats?

Heartbeats are like rhythmic drum rolls that keep your body going, just like a song you tap your foot to.

Imagine your heart is like a pump, and the blood inside it is like water in a hose. Every time your heart beats, it pushes this "water" through your body so all your muscles and brain can work properly.

Your heart has four parts, kind of like four rooms, and each beat happens when these rooms push and pull the blood. It’s like pushing a toy car along a track: you give it a little nudge, and off it goes!

Sometimes your heart beats faster, like when you run or laugh, just like how you might speed up when playing tag.

If you put your hand on your chest, you can feel the thumps of your heart beating. It's like feeling a bouncing ball that goes thump, thump, thump, and it never stops, even when you're sleeping!
