In the embryo, the heart begins to beat at 4 weeks of age, even before its nerve supply has been established The heart pumps blood through blood vessels to all body tissues. the heart beats about 100,000 times every day When sleeping, the heart pumps 30 times its own weight (5 L) each minute, which amounts to more than 14,000 liters of blood in a day and 10 million liters in a year
