There are 8 functions of blood, all concerned in one way or another with transporting substances,  regulating blood levels of particular substances, or protecting the body.

-TRANSPORT 
•Delivering oxygen from the lungs and nutrients from the digestive tract to all body cells.
•Transporting metabolic waste products from cells to elimination sites.
•Transporting hormones from the endocrine organs to their target organs.

-REGULATION
•Maintaining appropriate body temperature by absorbing and distributing heat throughout the body and to the skin surface to encourage heat loss.
•Maintaining normal pH in body tissues.
•Maintaining adequate fluid volume in the circulatory system. 

-PROTECTION 
•Preventing blood loss.
•Preventing infection. ]]> 2022-08-23 20:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/marcelmather2/yqh0wlnvdnsrn39n/wish/2269266236 Reneilwe Ntoahae https://padlet.com/marcelmather2/yqh0wlnvdnsrn39n/wish/2269275656 41824164

The blood has an important function to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide within the body system. The red blood cells are the enucleated cells that contain hemoglobin protein that can bind to both oxygen and carbon dioxide forming oxy-hemoglobin and carboxy-hemoglobin. Blood plays the main role in the respiration process to exchange carbon dioxide and absorb oxygen. Blood is the fluid that transports the essential nutrients to all the parts of the body. The hormones are the secondary messengers that are released in the blood circulation. The blood transports the hormones to the target sites. The blood also forms a blood clot at the time of injury or open wounds. It also carries immune components such as antibodies to all the parts. In simple terms, blood is a carrying agent circulating inside the body. Hence, the blood plays an important role in transportation within the body system as well as the exchange of gases that takes place in the lungs.

One of the major functions of blood are as follows:
 * Nutrient transport such as Minerals and Glucose.
 * Respiratory gas transport(Oxygen and carbon dioxide).
 * Eliminate waste Products(Blood transfers waste products       from cells and organs to the kidneys, lungs, skin, and gut for elimination).
 * Regulate body temperature- Heat produced by deep
tissues is taken to the body surface, so that it may be given out and thus body temperature is maintained).
 * Defending against toxins and pathogens .
 *Regulating the pH and ion composition of interstitial fluids.

-Blood also delivers antibodies, proteins that specifically attack invading pathogens .
5.STABIZING BODY TEMPERATURE 
-Blood absorb the heat generated by active skeletal muscle. 
-If body temperature is already high,the heat will be lost across the skin surface.
-If body temperature is too low ,the warm blood is directed to the brain.
