This leaflet gives a brief overview of the heart and blood vessels and how they work. The heart is a muscular pump that pushes blood through blood vessels around the body. Essential to life, the heart beats continuously, pumping the equivalent of more than 14,000 litres of blood every day. Blood vessels form the living system of tubes that carry blood both to and from the heart.

A blood vessel's main function is to transport blood around the body. Blood vessels also play a role in controlling your blood pressure. Blood vessels are found throughout the body. There are five main types of blood vessels: arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins.

Arteries carry oxygenated blood (blood that has received oxygen from the lungs) from the heart to the rest of the body. Blood then travels through veins back to the heart and lungs, so it can get more oxygen to send back to the body via the arteries.

Blood is a constantly circulating fluid providing the body with nutrition, oxygen, and waste removal. Blood is mostly liquid, with numerous cells and proteins suspended in it, making blood thicker than pure water. The average person has about 5 liters (more than a gallon) of blood.

Platelets (also called thrombocytes) are tiny oval-shaped cells made in the bone marrow. They help in the clotting process. When a blood vessel breaks, platelets gather in the area and help seal off the leak. Platelets survive only about 9 days in the bloodstream and are constantly being replaced by new cells.

Two types of blood vessels carry blood throughout our bodies: 1  Arteries carry oxygenated blood (blood that has received oxygen from the lungs) from the heart to the rest of the body. 2  Blood then travels through veins back to the heart and lungs, so it can get more oxygen to send back to the body via the arteries.

Hemorrhage (bleeding): Blood leaking out of blood vessels may be obvious, as from a wound penetrating the skin. Internal bleeding (such as into the intestines, or after a car accident) may not be immediately apparent. Hematoma: A collection of blood inside the body tissues. Internal bleeding often causes a hematoma.
