The functions of blood are:

1. Transportation of oxygen.

2. The fighting and prevention of diseases.

3. Transport of digested food to all parts of the body.

The heart moves ('pumps') the blood to all parts of the body. Without a heart, our blood may not be able to move and carry out the functions I mentioned above.

Hope this helped:)

What can you infer about the heart as a pumping organ?

the heart pump blood all around your body. if you damage your lungs your heart will have to pump harder which will cause you to be tired and your heart will be working really hard. some people may need to use a machine almost half a day to help them pump their blood at a decent rate because their heart was to weak to do it on its own.
