Functions of blood
Deliver oxygen Hormones Antibodies to fight Gets rid of waste and CO2 (waste--> kidney, co2---> lungs) Nutrients to cells Regulates ph and body temp.
Plasma
90% of blood Solvent (is the liquid contains fat soluble vitamins) Amino acids Hormones O and CO2

Low density is bad
Erythrocytes: Red Blood Cells
Most humorous in blood Transports O and CO2 Colored red by Hemoglobin Live for 120 days Killed by liver and spleen
Myoglobin
Erythropoietin
Stores O
Generates rbc
Jugular veins
From brain neck head tissue (oxygen poor)
Superior vena cava
From neck, shoulder, arm veins of upper body. (Oxygen poor blood)
Pulmonary veins
Lungs to heart (oxygenated blood)
Renal vein
Kidneys back to heart (oxygen poor blood)
Inferior vena cava
Receives blood from all veins below the diaphragm (oxygen poor blood)
Iliac veins
Carries blood from pelvic organs and lower abdominal wall (oxygen poor blood)
Femoral veins
From thigh and inner knee (oxygen poor blood) down right leg
Femoral artery
To thigh and inner knee (oxygen rich blood) down left leg
Iliac arteries
To pelvic organs, lower abdominal wall (oxygen rich blood)
Abdominal aorta
To digestive tract, pelvic organs. (Oxygen rich blood)
Renal artery
To kidney (oxygen rich blood)
Brachial artery
To arms, hand (oxygen rich blood)
