Explanation

Blood flow refers to the movement of blood through a network of vessels in the body, much like how water flows through a series of pipes. This process is crucial as it allows the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to various parts of the body, while also removing waste products. The heart acts as a pump to keep the blood moving, and the speed and volume of blood flow can change based on the body's needs.
