Beril Awuor: The Functional Architecture of Blood and Its Physiological Significance

Beril Awuor, Teacher at Teachers service Commission, Kenya, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Blood is a vital connective tissue made up of four main components, each with a specific role in maintaining the bodyโ€™s health.

Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to body tissues and carrying carbon dioxide back for removal.

White blood cells form part of the immune system, defending the body against infections and foreign invaders.

Platelets help in blood clotting, preventing excessive bleeding when injuries occur.

Plasma, the liquid portion of blood, carries nutrients, hormones, proteins, and waste products throughout the body.

Together, these components work in coordination to ensure oxygen delivery, protection, and internal balance (homeostasis).”
