How Does Blood Travel Through the Heart?
As the heart beats, it pumps blood through a system of blood vessels, called the circulatory system. The vessels are elastic tubes that carry blood to every part of the body.
Blood is essential. In addition to carrying fresh oxygen from the lungs and nutrients to your body's tissues, it also takes the body's waste products, including carbon dioxide, away from the tissues. This is necessary to sustain life and promote the health of all the body's tissues.
There are three main types of blood vessels:
Arteries: They begin with the aorta, the large artery leaving the heart. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to all of the body's tissues. They branch several times, becoming smaller and smaller as they carry blood farther from the heart and into organs.
Capillaries: These are small, thin blood vessels that connect the arteries and the veins. Their thin walls allow oxygen, nutrients, carbon dioxide and other waste products to pass to and from our organ's cells.
Veins: These are blood vessels that take blood back to the heart; this blood lacks oxygen and is rich in waste products that are to be excreted or removed from the body. Veins become larger and larger as they get closer to the heart. The superior vena cava is the large vein that brings blood from the head and arms to the heart, and the inferior vena cava brings blood from the abdomen and legs into the heart.
This vast system of blood vessels -- arteries, veins and capillaries -- is over 60,000 miles long. That's long enough to go around the world more than twice!
Blood flows continuously through your body's blood vessels. Your heart is the pump that makes it all possible.

Blood flows away from the heart via arteries and back towards the heart via veins. Ateries carry oxygenated blood while veins carry de-oxygenated blood. The only exception to this rule is the pulmonary vein carrying oxygenated blood.

How blood flows trough out the body. In order to have the blood flow trough out the body, one should have a water trough like cattle use only smaller because humans only have about 6 pints of blood.

The heart pumps it out Aorta (main artery), and sucks it in through the Vena Cava (vein).

The heart pumps it. Sends oxygen rich blood to the body and it is returned by the diastolic pump of the heart without oxygen to be replenished again.

It's because of our heart that pumps it through... (I learned this when I was eight!)
