Your Heart is an Amazing Organ

Your heart is part of the circulatory system. The circulatory system's job is to carry blood to all parts of your body. Your heart acts as a pump which passes the blood with the help of the arteries, veins and capillaries in the body.

Q: After viewing the tutorial. do you have a better understanding of how the heart and the circulatory system work? How is this like the water circulation and filtration system in a fish tank? What are some other examples of systems that were designed by engineers?
