How is blood supplied to the heart and why is this process important?
The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood through arteries which take the blood to muscles. Then when the oxygen is deprived of its oxygen it is pumped back to the heart where it is then sent to the lungs for more oxygen. It then repeats the process. This process is important because your muscles need oxygen to function.
