Best Answer

The heart pumps blood to all of your body. The blood contains oxygen and brings oxygen to all of your cells. The blood also takes carbon dioxide out of your cells and comes out when you exhale. Your cells need oxygen for energy, or cellular respiration. Cellular respiration allows your cells to function normally, maintaining homeostasis. Theorhetically, if the cells could get oxygen by themselves, without the help of blood, we wouldn't need a heart.
