“Our
heart is truly a magnificent machine,” Mrs. Enriquez declared, “It is
responsible for the perpetual movement of the blood which transports vital
nutrition from the food we eat and distributes it to various parts of our body.
The blood is also responsible for carrying the crucially needed oxygen to our
individual cells. It also delivers waste out of our system. Without the heart,
the blood would not serve its function. It is unlike any other muscle in the
body. It doesn’t stop beating, because if it did, we would die.
