The right side takes blood from the body and pump it into the lungs .The left side collects blood from the lungs then pumps it into the body .It is the job of the veins in the body to bring the blood bach to the heart .Arteries, on the other hand , carry blood from the heart to all parts of the body. Your heart does enough work in just one hour to lift a weight of one and a haft tons more than one foot off the ground ; yet it is only the size of your lift.In growups , the heart is about 5 inches long , three and a haft inches wide , and two and a haft thick. A man’heart weighs about eleven ounces.A woman’heart weighs about 9 ounces.
