It carries oxygen and vital nutrients (such as vitamins, minerals, fats, and sugars) to the tissues. It carries carbon dioxide to the lungs to be exhaled and waste products to the kidneys and liver to be eliminated from the body. It transports hormones, which are chemical messengers, to various parts of the body, allowing those parts to communicate with each other. Blood also includes cells that fight infection and control bleeding.
There are 3 main types blood: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells supply the body with oxygen, white blood cells protect against infection, and platelets start the formation of blood clots.
