  1. What is the function of the heart?

    Answered by verified global health professionals
    Dr. Abhishek HanookMBBS · 1.5 years of exp

    The heart is the central part of the circulatory system. It pumps the blood to all organs of the body. This blood carries oxygen and nutrients to all parts of your body and carries away unwanted carbon dioxide and waste products. Heart health is of utmost importance as a lack of it may lead to deteriorating changes in various organs over the long term.
