Function
2. Enumerate the general functions of blood and the components responsible for each.
For transport:
• Carries O2 and nutrients to the cells
• Transports CO2 and wastes from the tissues to the lungs and the kidneys where wastes
can be removed from the body
• Carries hormones to the endocrine glands to the target tissues
For regulation:
• Helps to regulate body temperature by removing heat from active areas, such as skeletal
muscles and transporting it to other areas of the skin so the heat can be dissipated
• Plays a significant role in fluid and electrolyte balance because salt and plasma proteins
contribute to the osmotic pressure by providing weight and bulk to our blood
• Functions in pH regulation through the action of buffers in the blood
For protection:
• Clotting mechanisms prevent fluid loss through hemorrhage when blood vessels become
damaged
• Certain cells in the blood, phagocytic white blood cells help to protect the body against
diseases by engulfing and destroying the agent
• Antibodies in the plasma help protect against disease by their reactions with offending
agents
