Explanation

"Blood supply" in medicine refers to how blood, which carries oxygen and nutrients, is delivered to different parts of the body. This is done through a network of vessels, like veins and arteries, that transport blood from the heart to the rest of the body and back. If a part of the body doesn't get enough blood, it can cause health problems because it's not getting the oxygen and nutrients it needs. So, a good blood supply is important for the body to function properly.
