Study Notes
Blood Functions
- The main function of blood in gas exchange is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs.
- Blood is a liquid extracellular matrix in which blood cells are suspended, called plasma.
- Blood carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body.
Nutrient Transport and Waste Removal
- The function of blood in nutrient transport is to carry absorbed nutrients from the digestive system to the body's tissues.
- The blood carries nutrients absorbed by the digestive system for distribution throughout the body.
- The blood carries urea for excretion to the kidneys.
- Waste products, including urea, are carried off by the blood for excretion.
Characteristics of Blood
- Blood is the fluid of the circulatory system.
- The blood carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to the body's tissues, and carbon dioxide and waste products away from the tissues.
- Water, salts, sugars, amino acids, and other nutrients are carried by the blood.
- The blood does not carry saliva.
