Summary
This document is lecture notes for a human physiology course, specifically Module 2 on blood and the immune system. It covers blood components, including plasma, erythrocytes (red blood cells), and leukocytes (white blood cells), highlighting their functions and the role of hemoglobin in oxygen transport. The fall 2024 lecture notes also cover the physiological roles of blood, focusing on carrying, regulation, and protection.
