Because technically-- a heart is a pump. Not a single one, but a double pump.
The right side of the body collects the deoxygenated blood (dirty sewer water), starting from the superior and inferior venae cavae (small pipes) and drain it into the right atrium. The right atrium drains the deox blood into the right ventricle, which pumps it into the pulmonary trunk.
The pulmonary trunk takes the blood to the lungs where gas exchange will occur (changing of dirty water into clean water) and returned back to the LEFT atrium via the pulmonary veins (clean pipes).
The left atrium pumps the now-oxygenated blood into the left ventricle which pumps it to the aorta (the MAIN pipe).
Through arteries (pipes) the oxygenated blood will be distributed to the whole body as needed (the clean water will be distributed to the houses as needed--some areas won't have that man people living there or those people don't use much water, therefore they won't need that much water).
At the same time, this double pump has its own deoxygenated blood (dirty water) which it needs to get oxygenated (cleaned). This cleaning is done via the coronary sinus and its tributaries (bring in deoxygenated blood into the right atrium).
The oxygenated blood comes out of the aorta via the coronary arteries.

How does the mechanical heart pump blood?
By miniature pistons compressing and extracting
What can the heart be compared too?
The heart is like a pump. It helps to pump blood one way through the circulatory system.
Which of these can the heart be compared with?
Usually when people reference the heart to something it is relating the size of it to your fist.
Can you you live without your heart?
Only if you're hooked up to a mechanical heart or a heart bypass machine.Humans need their hearts to pump blood throughout the body. If the heart fails to pump, the person will die. Sometimes, an artificial pump or a heart transplant can keep a person alive, but both have problems with the body rejecting the new heart as "foreign".
What objects can use to compare to the heart?
The heart can be compared to a pump, as it circulates blood throughout the body. It can also be likened to a symbol of love and emotions in a metaphorical sense. Additionally, the heart can be compared to an engine that keeps the body running efficiently.
How do you change an electric fuel pump with a mechanical fuel pump?
If you mean replacing the electric pump with a mechanical one, that is not possible.
What is the use of a pump?
Pump is a mechanical equipment used for transportation of liquids and slurries by mechanical means.
What anatomical part of the heart is CPR performed on and why?
The heart is being mechanically compressed between the sternum and the spinal column. This external mechanical compression is what forces the heart to pump blood. There is not a specific anatomical part of the heart that CPR is performed on.
How does a mechanical circulatory support system work?
A mechanical pump is surgically implanted to provide pulsatile or non-pulsatile flow of blood to supplement or replace the blood flow generated by the native heart.
Is the fuel pump on a 1956 thunderbird mechanical or electric?
Mechanical
Describe one disadvantageof heart transplants compared to using mechanical replacements?
Heart transplants require the patient to take immuno-suppresive medication for the rest of their lives. Plus if the heart is put in place during surgery, but fails to work, you're rather stuck. This is less likely to happen with a mechanical replacement.
What is the human heart often compared to because of its functions?
sometimes not always but sometimes people say like some sort of pump
