Document Summary
Colour is scarlet (oxygenated) to dark red (deoxygenated) [4. 1. 1. 1] physical characterisics of blood and elements found in blood. Blood components the only luid issue in body, components suspended in the plasma. More dense, viscous ( ) than h2o due to its formed elements ph = 7. 35 7. 45; temp~38oc. [4. 1. 1. 2] 3 main funcions associated with blood and the circulatory system: distribuion / transport. Oxygen & nutrients from digesive tract to all body cells. Metabolic wastes products from cells to eliminaion sites. Hormones from endocrine organs to their target organs: regulaion. Ph in body issues (plasma proteins[act as bufers], bicarbonate reserve) Adequate luid volume (blood proteins prevent excessive luid loss from the bloodstream into the issue spaces: protecion. Blood cloing: platelets, plasma proteins, clot formaion. [4. 1. 1. 3] physical characterisics of plasma and formed elements. Blood plasma: (make up 55% of whole blood) Plasma proteins: produced in liver (except gamma globulins); funcional proteins which remain blood.
