What is moving around ?

Blood is moved around in the body by the circulatory system. What are the four major functions of blood?

  1. Blood has many different functions, including: transporting oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and tissues; forming blood clots to prevent excess blood loss; carrying cells and antibodies that fight infection; and Coagulation, which is one part of the body's self-repair mechanism.

  12. Transports:

    Dissolved gases (e.g. oxygen, carbon dioxide);

    Waste products of metabolism (e.g. water, urea);

    Hormones;

    Enzymes;

    Nutrients (such as glucose, amino acids, micro-nutrients (vitamins & minerals), fatty acids, glycerol);

    Plasma proteins (associated with defence, such as blood-clotting and anti-bodies);

    Blood cells (incl. white blood cells 'leucocytes ', and red blood cells 'erythrocytes ').

    2.
    Maintains Body Temperature

    3.
    Controls pH
    The pH of blood must remain in the range 6.8 to 7.4, otherwise it begins to damage cells.

    4.
    Removes toxins from the body
    The kidneys filter all of the blood in the body (approx. 8 pints), 36 times every 24 hours. Toxins removed from the blood by the kidneys leave the body in the urine.
    (Toxins also leave the body in the form of sweat.)

  15. 1. Transport of nutrition:

    The blood is the means whereby all nourishment is transported to the cells.

    2. Transport of respiratory gases:

    The blood transports Oxygen as oxy hemoglobin from the lungs to the blood cells and returns carbon dioxide from the cells to the lungs for excretion.

    3. Acts as a Vehicle:

    The blood transports hormones and enzymes from their place of origin to their target organs and tissues (place of activity).

    4. Drainage of Waste Products:

    The blood removes all waste products from the tissues and cells. These waste products are transported to the appropriate organs for excretion-lungs, kidney's, intestine, skin etc.

    5. Blood Clotting:

    By the mechanism of clotting, loss of blood cells and body fluids is prevented.

    6. Regulation of body temperature:

    Blood helps to maintain the body temperature by distributing the heat produced by the chemical activity of the cells evenly, throughout the body.

    7. Defense actions:

    The blood aids in the defense of the body against the invasion of micro-organisms and their toxins due to:

    (a) The phagocyte action of neutrophils and monocytes.

    (b) The presence of antibodies and antitoxins.

    8. Regulates blood pressure:

    Blood regulates blood pressure.

  27. 1) it transports digested food (eg glucose and amino acids) from small intestine to all parts of the body where they are needed either for immediate use or storage
    2) transports food molecules from storage areas to cells that need them.
    3)it transports excretory products (eg CO2 and urea) from cells to the organs that excrete them from the body (such as lungs or kidneys)
    4) it transports chemical messgaes (hormones) from where they are made to where they cause changes in the body
    5)it helps to maintain a steady body temperature by carrying heat arround the system from deep-seated organs (eg gut) or very active tissues (eg leg muscles in someone running)
    6) acts as a buffer to pH
    7) it forms part of the defense system of the body (eg clotting in case of a cut, or the antibodies made by white blood cells)

  28. Some types of blood are plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. And their jobs are too, transport oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and tissues, forming blood clots to prevent excess blood loss, and carrying cells and antibodies that fight infection.

  45. Transports oxygen and nutrients in the form of blood glucose to all the of the body, and on the return trip , takes away the waste products of cells metabolic processes. Also regulates temperature, fluid volume, and pH balance. Finally, blood defends us in two important ways; the white blood cells protect us against infections and diseases and the platelets initiate a clotting mechanism to prevent excessive blood loss.
