What are the functions of blood in the human body?
gpt
Blood is a living fluid that flows through the human body through a vast network of arteries and veins. The liquid carries out several critical functions, including:
    • Being a fluid connective tissue that carries plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
    • Provides the body's cells with oxygen while removing carbon dioxide.
    • Transports nutrients and hormones to target tissues and organs.
    • Absorbs and distributes heat throughout the body to maintain homeostasis.
    • Platelets and plasma in the blood help prevent further loss in cases of cuts and other injuries.
    • Transports waste substances to organs that remove and process them for elimination.
    • White blood cells help protect the body from disease.
