How does blood relate to other human body tissues and systems?
Answers
Humans—and other complex multicellular organisms—have systems of organs that work together, carrying out processes that keep us alive.
The body has levels of organization that build on each other. Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, and organs make up organ systems.
The function of an organ system depends on the integrated activity of its organs. For instance, digestive system organs cooperate to process food.
The survival of the organism depends on the integrated activity of all the organ systems, often coordinated by the endocrine and nervous systems
blood is a connective tissue. it transports O2, CO2, minerals and other vital components that are required by the cells present in our body. this nutrients are absorbed by the cells by the process called osmosis and diffusion.
Blood circulation starts when the heart relaxes between two heartbeats: The blood flows from both atria (the upper two chambers of the heart) into the ventricles (the lower two chambers), which then expand. The following phase is called the ejection period, which is when both ventricles pump the blood into the large arteries.
