FUN FACTS
If you were to lay out all of the arteries, capillaries and veins in one adult, end-to-end, they would stretch about 60,000 miles (100,000 kilometres).
It takes 20 seconds for blood to circulate the entire body. Oxygenated blood leaves the aorta at about 1 mile an hour.
The ancient Egyptians believed the heart, rather than the brain, was the source of emotions, wisdom and memory, among other things.
