Hello aspirant,
Blood is the fluid of the body found in humans as well as other animals that delivers essential substances like nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports waste products collected due to metabolism away from the cells. It supplies oxygen to the tissues, supplies essential nutrients and other substances like glucose, amino acids and fatty acids. It removes excess yet unnecessary waste such as carbon dioxide, lactic acid and urea. It provides immunological functions such as production and circulation of WBCs, helps in coagulation, helps in transport of hormones, thus acting as the function of messenger. It regulates body temperature and hydraulic functions.
Hope, it helps you.
