Transportation of nutrients, regulation of blood pH, protection against disease, and transportation of heat.

Blood plasma is 91.5% water.

Globulins play a role in disease resistance.

Fibrinogen is involved in blood clotting.

Hemopoiesis is the process of blood cell development.

A megakaryoblast develops into a platelet.

Erythropoietin (EPO) stimulates red blood cell production.

Gas transport.

Excessive red blood cell breakdown or bile drainage blockage.

Stimulated by low oxygen levels (pulmonary disease, high altitude).

Neutrophil is a phagocytic blood cell.

Platelets are involved in reducing blood loss from damaged blood vessels.

Basophils release granules intensifying the inflammatory response and promoting allergic reactions.

Eosinophils engulf antigen-antibody complexes and are effective against parasitic worms.

Basophils are agranular leukocytes.

Emigration is the process of a white blood cell squeezing between endothelial cells to leave a blood vessel.

Heparin is an anticoagulant produced by mast cells and basophils.

The diagram represents white blood cell (WBC) and shows its location.

Arteries carry blood away from the heart to other organs.

Veins carry blood from the tissues back to the heart.

Hepatic artery deliver blood needed for nourishment to the liver.

Capillaries are exchange vessels where substances are exchanged between blood and tissues.

Precapillary sphincters control blood flow through a capillary bed.

Filtration is the pressure-driven movement of fluids and solutes from the blood to the interstitial fluid.

Increased blood volume, increased sympathetic stimulation, increased heart rate, and increased stroke volume.

The right common carotid artery branches directly off the brachiocephalic trunk.

The hepatic portal circulation delivers nutrients from digested food to the liver.

Coronary arteries supply blood to the cardiac muscle.

The middle layer of the arterial wall is mostly composed of elastic fibers and smooth muscle fibers.

The innermost layer of the arterial wall is composed of simple squamous epithelium, a basement membrane and a layer of elastic tissue.

Pulmonary circulation carries blood from the right ventricle to the left atrium.
