Your oil pump pressurized the oil to circulate through out your engine. It starts at the oil pan, and is sucked up through the pick up tube. The pump pressurizes it, and sends it through your oil filter, and then to your main oil gallery. After the oil has been circulated through your engine, it cycles back to the oil pan through drain back passage ways. The pump it self is mostly ran by your cam shaft, and has either gear, or rotor type componants that pressurizes the oil. Hope this helps.
