) It collects the waste materials from parts of the body. 6) It has antibodies to protect our body from pathogens. 7) It helps in maintaining osmatic pressure in the cells. 8) In plant it transpots the water through xylem and food materials through phloem.
The transport system is required by any animal that is too large for nutrients to reach all cells by diffusion alone. It is made up of the heart, blood vessels (ie., arteries, capillaries and veins) and blood. The main function of the transport system is to allow for the move nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, antibodies, urea and heat within the blood plasma throughout the body. It brings the necessary resources to the cells by way of the capillaries which exchange materials with the interstitial fluid inturn allowing diffusion to occur over short distances. The transport system allows the body to maintain a constant internal environment (homeostasis).
