Blood and bone morrow

Definition of blood: is a specialized connective tissue consisting of cells and cell fragments (46% of blood volume) floating in a unique liquid extracellular matrix (54% of blood volume).
Functions of blood:
Transport of dissolved gases, brining oxygen from lungs to the tissues and carrying carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs.
Distribution of nutrients absorbed the digestive tract or released from storage in adipose tissues or the liver.
Transport of metabolic wastes from peripheral tissues to sites of excretion, especially the kidneys.
Stabilization of the pH and electrolytes composition of interstitial fluids through the body.
Prevention of fluid losses through damaged vessels or at other injury sites.
Defense against toxins and pathogens.
Delivery of enzymes and hormones to specific target tissues.
Stabilization of body temperature by absorbing and redistributing heat.
