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.
