Blood flows to each and every cell in the body.
The adult heart pumps about five quarts of blood throughout the body every minute.

Two halves make whole :)Technically your heart has 4 chambers, so 4 quarters. AnswerIt is because your heart is two pumps in one package.The right side of the heart, which contains an atrium and a ventricle, pumps oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs for oxygenation, through the pulmonary artery. That artery is the only artery in the body that carries venous or "blue" blood. The left side of the heart, which contains a separate atrium-ventricle unit, pumps oxygenated blood ("scarlet" blood) out to the various parts of the body.
It simply keeps it circulating throughout the body. Your heart is the one muscle that works all the time and keeps you alive. Your mind and your heart basically depend on each other. The mind tells the heart when to beat, and the heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the mind. But really all the heart does is allow blood circulation through your body. Best to eat healthy to avoid disturbances in its work, which are usually lethal. (Life threatening.)
The heart pumps blood containing oxygen to the body and blood without oxygen to the lungs. The blood vessels carry the blood to and from the heart and body. The blood carries oxygen, nutrients, carbon dioxide, hormones to maintain normal body functions.
No, because it pumps all of the body's blood, which is 2000 gallons each day, which is certainly a full time job.
Your heart is still a muscle, and thus forth needs to rest in between beats. Rest.
An enlarged heart pumps more blood around the body - meaning the runner's muscles get more oxygen from each breath.
On average there are 5 L (approximately 5.28 quarts) of blood in the human body. At rest the heart pumps about 6,800 L of blood per day through about 96,500 Km of blood vessels. That equates to the heart pumping approximately 7,185 quarts of blood throughout the body per day.
The ventricles. These are the two lower chambers, one on each side. The ride ventricle pushes blood to the lungs, for oxygenation and the left ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood through the body.
The names of the two sides of the heart are the right heart and the left heart. The right heart is a low pressures pump that receives venous blood from the systemic circulation and pumps it to the lungs. The left heart is a high pressure pump which receives blood from the pulmonary veins and pumps it to the rest of the body via the aorta.
