Get ready to keep the blood adventure going in this brand-new episode of What’s Happening Inside Me?!

🩸 This time, Audra and Sloane are diving into the amazing highways and roads of the body — your blood vessels! Find out how blood travels to every tiny part of your body and what happens when you get a cut, scrape, or bruise!

You'll learn about:
🔴 Arteries — the big blood highways that carry fresh, oxygen-filled blood from your heart 🚗❤️
🔵 Veins — the return routes that bring blood back to the heart 🚙💙
🟡 Capillaries — the tiny, twisty roads where the real action happens — these are the places where oxygen, nutrients, and waste are exchanged!

🌟 But what happens when you fall down, get a scrape, or bump your knee?

We explain:
🩸 Why you bleed when you get a cut — and where that blood is coming from
💥 What’s really going on under your skin when you get a bruise (spoiler: it’s blood escaping into the tissues!)
🤯 Why bruises change color as they heal over time

By the end of this episode, your kids will know:
✅ The different types of blood vessels and their jobs
✅ What capillaries do (and why they’re SO important!)
✅ Why we bleed from cuts and how bruises form under the skin

💡 Perfect for curious kids ages 4-12, parents, teachers, homeschoolers, and school nurses who want to make human body science fun and easy to understand!
