Water is a polar molecule, so it acts as a solvent for other polar substances such as salts. Water is also liquid at body temperature so it can be used to transport material such as nutrients, hormones, blood cells and metabolic wastes. Its high heat capacity enables it to carry heat without warming up. Water hence allows blood to move heat for warming and cooling effects.
