Question
Chapter 19, Problem 25RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The role of blood in stabilizing and maintaining the body temperature.
Introduction:
Blood is associated with the connective tissue that is present in fluid state. It provides nourishment and oxygen to all the tissues and takes back waste material and carbon dioxide. It is also involved in the thermoregulation of the body. Blood has many components including red blood corpuscles, white blood corpuscles platelets and plasma.
