Our blood is the reason we get out nutrients and oxygen, and how we get rid of all the bad wastes. Some of the nutrients supplied are glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids. Our blood circulates white blood cells which detect foreign material by ANTIBODIES. And another major thing our blood does is COAGULATION which is a part of our bodies self-repair mechanism. Blood regulates our body pH and also core temperature.
Adult males have about 6 liters of blood and adult females have about 5 liters of blood. Our red blood cells are created in red bone marrow and ephyfises at heads of femurs or flat bones (Ilicac bones, skull, sternum). Erythroblast and erythrocytes in the red bone marrow go into the blood within 24 hours and it ejects its nucleaus / DNA. Cells must become phagocytized after 90-120 days due to being worn out or damaged due to the lack of a nucleus.
We have five types of white blood cells from most to least "Never Let Monkeys Eat Bannannas," or ... Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, and Basophils. White blood cells are a huge key to our immune system and fight off all the pathogens that they come across.
