*Functions of Blood:** - Transportation: Oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, hormones, and waste. - Regulation: pH, temperature, and fluid balance. - Protection: Immune response and blood clotting. **Anatomy of Blood:** - Plasma: 55% of blood volume; contains water, proteins, nutrients, and waste. - Formed Elements: 45% of blood; includes red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets. **Formed Elements & Functions:** - RBCs (Erythrocytes): Transport oxygen and carbon dioxide. - WBCs (Leukocytes): Immune defense. - Platelets (Thrombocytes): Blood clotting. **Hematopoiesis:** - Formation of blood cells in red bone marrow. **Blood Types & Compatibility:** - Blood types: A, B, AB, O (Rh+ or Rh-). - Compatibility: O- is universal donor, AB+ is universal recipient. **Blood Tests:** - Complete Blood Count (CBC), Hematocrit, Hemoglobin, Blood Glucose. ---
