Blood transports various substances from one part of the body to another by continuous flowing
through a closed system of blood vessels known as the circulatory system. The blood flow is
known as blood circulation. Blood is moving by means of an organ known as the heart, which is
a muscular pump that draws blood in when it relaxes and pushes it out at great force when it
contracts. Circulation is begins at early fetal life and it is estimated that a given portion of blood
would take 30 seconds to complete one course of circulation around the body. An average of 5
liters of blood is traveling by means of the circulatory system at any one given point in time.
