Blood is a vital fluid that circulates through the body, delivering oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and immune cells while removing waste products. It plays a crucial role in maintaining health, immunity, and survival.
Oxygen Transport: Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to tissues.
Nutrient Distribution: Delivers glucose, amino acids, and vitamins to cells.
Immunity: White blood cells defend against bacteria, viruses, and infections.
Clotting & Healing: Platelets help stop bleeding after an injury.
Temperature Regulation: Maintains body temperature and pH balance.
Waste Removal: Removes carbon dioxide, urea, and toxins via kidneys and lungs.
