What is blood? Answer in long
Answers
Answer:
Blood is the unique fluid connective tissue present in our body and it plays a significant role in transporting a wide variety of substances to different parts of the body. The main components of blood include Red blood cells, White blood cells, blood platelets and plasma. Blood is the main component of the human circulatory system, fulfilling many functions such as:
Regulating body temperature.
Regulates the water content of the cells.
Protects against excess blood loss through clotting.
Regulates the pH by interacting with acids and bases.
Involved in the transportation of hormones, nutrition, enzymes, respiratory gases and other molecules to the respective parts of the body.
In vertebrates, it is composed of blood cells suspended in blood plasma. Plasma, which constitutes 55% of blood fluid, is mostly water (92% by volume),[2] and contains proteins, glucose, mineral ions, hormones, carbon dioxide (plasma being the main medium for excretory product transportation), and blood cells themselves. Albumin is the main protein in plasma, and it functions to regulate the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. The blood cells are mainly red blood cells (also called RBCs or erythrocytes), white blood cells (also called WBCs or leukocytes) and platelets (also called thrombocytes). The most abundant cells in vertebrate blood are red blood cells. These contain hemoglobin, an iron-containing protein, which facilitates oxygen transport by reversibly binding to this respiratory gas and greatly increasing its solubility in blood. In contrast, carbon dioxide is mostly transported extracellularly as bicarbonate ion transported in plasma.
