Blood performs many important functions within the body, including:<br />
* Supply of [[oxygen]] to tissues (bound to [[hemoglobin]], which is carried in red cells)<br />
* Supply of nutrients such as [[glucose]], [[amino acid]]s, and [[fatty acid]]s (dissolved in the blood or bound to [[Blood proteins|plasma proteins]] (e.g., [[blood lipid]]s))<br />
* Removal of waste such as [[carbon dioxide]], [[urea]], and [[lactic acid]]<br />
* Immunological functions, including circulation of [[white blood cell]]s, and detection of foreign material by [[Antibody|antibodies]]<br />
* [[Coagulation]], the response to a broken blood vessel, the conversion of blood from a liquid to a semisolid gel to stop bleeding<br />
* Messenger functions, including the transport of [[hormone]]s and the signaling of [[tissue (biology)|tissue]] damage<br />
* Regulation of core [[body temperature]]<br />
* [[Hydraulics|Hydraulic]] functions</div>FuzzyBot
