Chapter 20, Problem 2RFT
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Blood is a fluid connective tissue that distributes oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to each of the cells of the human body. For the purpose of excretion, the waste materials are carried to the kidneys by the blood. The blood also transports certain cells that carry out the immune functions defending the peripheral tissues.
