34
Nutritive fluid that circulates in the vascular system
Blood
35
FUNCTIONS of blood:
1. Transport
2. Buffering action
3. Maintenance of constant body temperature
4. Defense
36
Transport of:
(?) to facilitate gas exchange (O2 and CO2)
(?) to tissues where they will be metabolized or assimilated
(?) to the excretory organs
(?) that regulate cell functions
gases
products of digestion
waste products of catabolism
hormones and other endocrine secretions
37
Blood assists in the preservation of an almost neutral reaction in the tissues
Buffering action
38
Helps maintain normal water balance and fluid distribution
Buffering action
39
Circulating blood minimizes variations in local temperature
Maintenance of constant body temperature
40
Phagocytosis
Defense
41
Blood contains proteolytic enzymes and antibodies that help destroy foreign bodies.
Defense
42
Color:
