The blood is mainly made of Platelets, Red Blood Cells, and White Blood Cells. The red blood cells carry oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Nutrients are carried through the blood, and waste is taken away via the blood. Hormones also pass through the blood.

How does the conduction system control proper blood flow?
Blood is carried through the body through veins and arteries. These systems work best when they are clear and free of plaque and blockages. The best way to ensure this is to eat well, drink a lot of water, take vitamins, and exercise regularly.
How does food and oxygen get to a muscle cell in your toe?
Well it doesn't actually carry food down there. The blood carries nutrients and oxygen to your extremities through capillaries. These are very tiny veins that branch off from the veins connected to your arteries. When you prick your finger or toe the blood that comes out is actually from one of these capillaries.
What would happen is an aveoli was damaged?
We would not be able to exchange gases and we could not breathe well or at all.
What types of food are carried in the blood plasma?
Blood plasma carries a variety of things. It is composed mostly of water but contains dissolved proteins, glucose, clotting factors, mineral ions, hormones and carbon dioxide as well. Posted by John
Where does oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide pass out of the blood?
alveoli
What carries the blood from the heart?
Well, blood is not carried. Blood, or blood cells, carry oxygen to and from the heart, spreading it throughout the body. Blood basically carries oxygen, and it itself is not carried.
What is the fourth material carried in plasma?
Well, in the bloodstream, there is plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
When your active why does more blood get pumped to the muscles?
you're muscles need more oxygen which is carried in you're blood. this is why you breathe faster as well.
Can oil affect raindrops?
Effects of Oil on RaindropsYes, oil can affect raindrops. Pollutants from the oil, as well as gases and pollutants from the dispersant can be carried by raindrops.
What process separates the gases you breathe?
When we breathe, the mixture or solution of gases we inspire and expire is altered in the lungs. Oxygen is absorbed by the blood from the air when we inhale, and carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the air in the lungs to be exhaled. The "separation" of gases across the blood-air barrier in the lungs is called gas exchange.
What type of blood vessel lets gases and food move in and of the blood?
All blood vessels allow gases, such as oxygen and nitrogen, as well as liquids, enzymes, etc, to pass through them. Food particles, once absorbed by the small intestines, become part of this process.
What is carried by the blood?
Oxygen is carried around our body by blood cells. These are little particles like sand which make up the blood we see. There are also white blood cells which helps us get rid of unhydenic things in our body.
Do your lungs separate atmospheric gases?
NO. The lungs will mix deoxygenated blood with air that has been inhaled. However, other gases are in there as well which is why in a range of situations masks are required to be worn to filter some non oxygen properties
What is the maximum o2 that can be carried in arterial blood?
The maximum amount of oxygen that can be carried in arterial blood is approximately 20.2 mmol/L. This is equivalent to about 98.5% of the oxygen that is dissolved in the plasma. The remaining 1.5% is bound to hemoglobin and is termed oxyhemoglobin. The amount of oxygen that can be carried by the blood is dependent on the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood as well as the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin. The oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is determined by the partial pressure of oxygen in the environment which is why the amount of oxygen that can be carried varies in different environments. The following factors affect the amount of oxygen that can be carried in arterial blood: Hemoglobin concentration Oxygen saturation of hemoglobin Partial pressure of oxygen in the environmentHemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that binds to oxygen and carries it throughout the body. The concentration of hemoglobin in the blood is an important factor in determining how much oxygen can be carried. The oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is determined by the partial pressure of oxygen in the environment. This means that the amount of oxygen that can be carried in the blood varies in different environments. For example in a high-altitude environment where the partial pressure of oxygen is lower the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is also lower resulting in less oxygen being carried in the blood.
How are nutrients and waste and respiratory gases transported to and from the blood and tissue spaces?
The circulatory system, it transports them, as well as hormones through the bloodstream.
What substances would you find in the blood leading away from the small intestine towards to liver?
This blood is carried by the hepatic portal vein and has a high glucose content as well as higher fat and protein contents.
How do you clean human blood on concrete floor?
For sanitary reasons, a 10% bleach solution should be used. This will clean the stain, as well as be potent enough to kill viruses that may be carried in blood, such as HIV.
