What are the body parts that carry blood?

The circulatory system!! First the blood is in the heart, then it goes to the capillaries, then it goes through the veins and back to the heart!! The arteries take the blood away from the heart. The capillaries deliver nutrients and oxygen to our body cells. The veins take blood bake to the heart, where it is renewed.


What do you call the smaller cells in your blood stream?

the answer is the join of all sources coming together is called blood holes and then comes the smaller cells in your blood stream is called ''piegopheres''


What part of the blood cloeses a wound?

The blood cells join together till they form a wall. Then they harden and become a scab.


How do cells form tissue?

Tiny cells join together to form a tissue. cells are little balls of blood and tissue is the layer that is formed once cells are joined together


What does many-cells do?

many cells in the body join up make tissue and then organs and muscles in the body they carry all the bodies DNA deoxyribonucleic acid schwann cells help make your nerves reactions(neurons).red blood cells pass oxygen roung the body,carry food to cells and remove wastes,they also carry iron


How do white blood cells help you recover from pneumonia?

the white blood cells attack the icky germs in your body and they do this until they are all gone but the sick germs can join together and make it harder to destroy.


What are the different types of blood vessels and cells?

Answer: the three types of blood vessels are the arteries, veins, and capillaries. *Arteries are the vessels that carry blood away from your heart to the different parts of your body *Veins carries non-oxygenated blood to the heart *Capillary tubes with very thin walls which join arteries to veins


What is the function of capillaries?

Capillary are the smallest of the body's blood vessels and connect and break off into other arteries, blood vessels, or other areas of the body. Capilaries usually are found in between the major blood vessels and the tissue and can carry water, oxygen, carbon dioxide(CO2) The capillaries are one of the commonly used blood vessels in your body. They help join together all arterioles and venules in the body and connects the minor blood vessels in the heart.The function of capillaries is to deliver oxygen and other nutrients to the cells of the body, and remove toxins including carbon dioxide. Capillaries are only one cell thick, and have the lowest blood pressure of any blood vessel in the body.The function of the capillaries is to transfer oxygen and nutrients from the bloodstream to the various body tissues.to exchange the materials between the blood and the body cells


How does a cell form into a tissue?

Tiny cells are joined together to make a tissue. Cells are little balls made up of blood. Tissue is the layer that formed once the cells were all join together.


How do capillaries function?

Capillaries are tiny blood vessels which allow only very few blood cells to get through at a time. When blood cells enter the capillaries, the oxygen and nutrients which are stored in hemoglobin in the blood diffuse into the body. The exhausted blood cells then enter back into larger vessels to join the bloodstream once again. The cycle goes something like this: Heart pumps blood --> blood cells pick up oxygen in alveoli in the lungs --> the heart pumps fresh blood through arteries to the body --> the arteries narrow down into capillaries in which aforementioned diffusion takes place --> capillaries grow back into veins which carry blood back to the heart and, ultimately, the lungs --> the process repeats. Many people confuse veins with arteries. A vein is defined as a blood vessel which carried blood to the heart. MOST veins carry de-oxygenated blood; but not all. Once the depleted blood has passed through the heart, it goes to the lungs where it then goes back to the heart. The only vein which carries oxygenated blood in the one connecting the lungs and the heart. The same is inversely true for arteries; arteries carry blood away from the heart. MOST of this blood is full of oxygen; except for the blood in the artery going FROM the heart TO the lungs. This can be more easily understood by examining a diagram which I cannot attach with this answer. You may be asking "Why does it look like my blood vessels are blue when I bleed red?" The blue vessels you are seeing are oxygen-depleted veins. When the protein, hemoglobin, is full of oxygen, it colors the blood cell red. So, the arteries in your body are red, because they are full of oxygen. As soon as your skin is broken, your blood cells are exposed to oxygen, thus causing them to instantly turn red. This is not perceptible to the human eye.


Do cells combine to make atoms?

No, cells do not combine to make atoms. Atoms are the building blocks of all matter, including cells. Cells are made up of a combination of different atoms, such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, organized into molecules that form the structure and function of the cell.


What do the bones do for the blood?

An awful lot! Bones contain bone marrow, that spongy substance that fills the bones, are essential for the production of blood cells. Actually, the red bone marrow is for red blood cells, but - if needed -, the yellow (fatty) bone marrow could convert into the red blood cell making type. Otherwise, yellow bone marrow can produce some of the white blood cells. From the age of 6 month, foetus' (unborn baby) bone marrow could make blood cells (before that, its yolk sac, then its spleen and liver do the task). When the child is born, marrow in the majority of its bones can produce blood cells. In adults, marrow only in specific bones, like pelvis, vertebrae, ribs, skull, sternum and a few others, are producing. In normal conditions, responding to signals/regulations/interventions from receptors, hormones, cytokines, paracrine agents, and others, the bone marrow matches the need for new blood cells. Hematopoietic stem cells start the process, blood cells differentiate and mature into the needed type, then leave the bone marrow and join the peripheral blood stream. (except T lymphocytes, which mature in the thyroid).
