Question
Chapter 14, Problem 12RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Organ that can tolerate reduction in blood flow.
Introduction:
Blood is a major transporting agent in the human body and it transports not only electrolyte and hormones, but also macromolecules. Blood also has various factors to control the loss of blood. Organ needs continuous flow of blood for their proper functioning. The blood is the main carrier through which tissues get their supply of oxygen from.
