Sure it can, eventually… But in the meantime, it’s not going where it’s supposed to be.
The circulatory system isn’t like an engine where oil collects in the sump and is picked up from a pool at the bottom – it’s a closed system like an AC unit and pipes lose pressure the whole thing stops working

To take some very simplistic examples:

No blood in the muscles? Can’t use those… No blood in the lungs? looks like you’re not getting any oxygen or getting rid of any CO2. No blood in the brain? Doesn’t take long to damage it permanently or fatally.
