Why does the nose bleed if you hit your head?
the nose should not bleed if the back (occipital region) of the head is struck. If this occurs after a blow to the rear of the head, it could indicate a more serious, internal injury may have occurred (possibly a skull fracture). If the individual lost consciousness during the event, that too is an indication that there could be more serious internal injuries. The nose usually bleeds after a direct blow, dried mucous membranes, or in some circumstances high blood pressure.
Organs in cardiovascular system?
The organs involved in the cardiovascular system are the lungs, the heart and the brain. Without any one of those organs working properly you can die or live poorly. The blood vessels are the roadways for the blood to travel through out the body but are not to be confused with organs. They are tubes that do a fantastic job but not organs as some people believe. The trachea is the windpipe not an organ as some have mistaken also.
