The blood performs a lot of important functions.



By meat of the hemoglobin contained in the erythrocytes, it carries oxygen to the tissues and collects the carbon dioxide (CO2). It also conveys nourishing substances (e.g. amino acids, sugars, mineral salts) and gathers the excreted material which will be eliminated through and through the renal filter. The blood also carries hormones, enzymes and vitamins. It performs the defense of the organism by mean of the phagocitic activity of the leukocytes, the bactericidal power of the serum and the insubordinate response of which the lymphocytes are the protagonists.
