Identify the primary functions of blood, its fluid and cellular components, and its characteristics. Identify the primary functions of blood in transportation, defense, and maintenance of homeostasis; Identify the primary proteins and other solutes present in blood plasma
Blood supports growth by distributing nutrients and hormones, and by removing waste. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which binds oxygen. These cells deliver oxygen to the cells and remove carbon dioxide. Blood plays a protective role by transporting clotting factors and platelets to prevent blood loss after
30 paź 2023 · The blood transports the oxygen from the alveoli to the remotest cells of the body. Because of the higher gas pressure in the plasma (relative to the cells), it diffuses to the tissues. Carbon dioxide diffuses from the cells into the blood due to the higher gas pressure in the tissue.
Blood is a circulating tissue composed of fluid plasma and cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets). Anatomically, blood is considered a connective tissue, due to its origin in the bones and its function.
12 wrz 2023 · Function. The main function of the circulatory (or cardiovascular) system is to deliver oxygen to the body tissues, whilst simultaneously removing carbon dioxide produced by metabolism. Oxygen is bound to molecules called haemoglobin that are on the surface of the red blood cells in the blood.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES. Define “CBC”. Define and explain red cell indices including derived values such as MCV, MCHC and MCH. Define and explain erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Describe the main cell types observed in peripheral blood. Describe what is meant by the term “differential count”.
