This Powerful Video Will Make You Ask Yourself, “What Makes Your Heart Beat?”
What triggers the heart’s beat? Consider your arteries to be the pump that causes the pounding.
The contractions of your arteries are actually measured when someone takes your pulse.
This is why: Through one major artery known as the aorta, the heart distributes oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body. The aorta and other arteries’ muscular walls aid the heart’s ability to pump blood.
As blood fills the arteries during heartbeat, they enlarge. The arteries contract as the heart slows down. Your circulatory system is powered by the rhythm that exists between your heart and your arteries, which maintains your blood moving.
