Blood is a special bodily fluid that carries blood plasma (water in your blood), oxygen, and many other nutrients that helps sustain your cells (Erythrocytes, Leukocytes and Thrombocytes), organs, tissues and many other kinds of organic matter in your body, it gets it's color from Hemoglobin and, also helps transport wastes out of your body. An average sized adult usually contains around 4 quarts of blood and is a urgently needed fluid for your body. It also plays a role in the Immune System. Without a normal level of blood within the body, devastating side effects can occur within moments, including: extreme dizziness, knock out, coma or even death, chances of survival are fatal if the body does not meet the minimal requirements of blood in a few hours, depending on how much blood is lost. Blood is pumped throughout the body through the veins by the Heart, your brain is the most vital organ that needs the most blood in your body and so as your heart and lungs. Your blood supports many functions throughout your body, including: supplying oxygen to many organs and cells throughout the body, supplying nutrients to organs and cells throughout the body, removal of wastes, provides an Immune System response, it is also a self-repair mechanism in your body (By Thrombocytes clotting up scrapes and scratches and breaks in the skin when you bleed), it also transports messages to hormones in your body, it also regulates Ph (The acidity of your blood), and regulates core body temperature in your body. Basically without blood in your body, you cannot survive or live.
