Why does the heart pump blood around the body?

Answer 1

The Heart pumps your blood around your body because if it didn't you would die. You would die, because blood creates energy around your body, and if a certain part (let's say it's the leg) doesn't get enough blood there, it would fall asleep, and eventually fall off. Do you want your leg to fall off? No. If too many parts fall off, you die.

Answer 2

If the heart does not pump blood, there would not be air,digested food or water for the parts of the body,our body would not be able to function properly and we might die.

Answer 3

It is important that the heart pumps blood so you can receive that blood to important limbs and arteries and anywhere else it is needed.
