Blood is a Substance that nourishes; moistens; and houses the Shen.
The liquid that carries nutrients and oxygen to the cells and carries carbon dioxide and nitrogenous wastes away. The liquid fluid of blood is called plasma. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, an iron-containing protein that binds oxygen. White blood cells fight disease. Platelets clot to prevent extreme blood loss resulting from injury.
A fluid that circulates throughout the body to carry oxygen and food to the tissues and remove waste products such as carbon dioxide
A fluid composed of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets suspended in plasma. Blood flows through the human vascular system, carrying oxygen and nourishment to the body's tissues and removing carbon dioxide and other waste products from them.
The liquid pumped by the heart through the arteries, veins, and capillaries of the body containing red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and other substances suspended in fluid called plasma.

Blood circulates in our arteries and veins. Blood consists of plasma, the liquid portion which contains proteins and other molecules, and cells. Blood cells include white blood cells, which fight infection, red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the tissues and carbon dioxide back to the lungs, and platelets, which are like little corks that plug up holes to stop bleeding.
is used as a broad term to describe the physical blood in the body that moistens the muscles, tissues, skin and hair, as well as nourishing the cells and organs
Blood is a body fluid that is difficult to remove from surfaces. Blood deposits or spills must be cleaned up properly and promptly.
Considered a circulating tissue. Composed of a fluid portion (plasma) and suspended formed elements (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets). Arterial blood transports oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. Venous blood transports carbon dioxide and metabolic products for excretion.
The fluid that circulates in the heart, arteries, capillaries and veins of a vertebrate animal carrying nourishment and oxygen to and taking away waste products from all parts of the body.
A complex mixture of cells suspended in a liquid matrix that delivers nutrients to cells and removes wastes. 594
the fluid in which nutrients, oxygen and waste products are dissolved and carried around the body
the fluid that transports materials through the body.
The blood is the fluid in the body that contains red and white cells as well as platelets, proteins, plasma and other elements. It is transported throughout the body by the circulatory system.
Human blood, human blood components, and products made from human blood, (The Nebraska Medical Center BBP Policy, 2001). The term "human blood components" includes plasma, platelets, and serosanguinous fluids (e.g., exudates from wounds). Also included are medications derived from blood, such as immune globulins, albumin, and factors 8 and 9, (OSHA CPL 2-2.44D).
The fluid that circulates in the principal vascular system of human being and other vertebrates: in humans consisting of plasma in which the red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are suspended.
the liquid that circulates in the heart, arteries, and veins
A liquid that circulates inside the bodies of animals.
A red liquid that flows through tubes or tunnels called veins and arteries inside a person. Most people have about 1 gallon (8 pints) of blood in their body. BLOOD is made of three parts: plasma, red blood cells and white blood cells. Many kinds of STDs can be TRANSMITTED from one person to another through an infected person's BLOOD.
A red fluid that circulates through the heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins and contains many types of cells, including red and white blood cells. It also carries oxygen and other nutrients to meet the body's energy needs, and removes carbon dioxide and waste products.
composed of a liquid portion containing plasma, protein, and three types of cells- red cells, white cells, and platelets.
gases-a blood test that reflects the degree of oxygenation of blood, as well as level of Carbon Dioxide, pH, and other factors.
Red Blood Cells Diseases that strike the blood
the life-maintaining fluid which is made up of plasma, red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets; blood circulates through the body's heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries; it carries away waste matter and carbon dioxide, and brings nourishment, electrolytes, hormones, vitamins, antibodies, heat, and oxygen to the tissues.
the fluid consisting of plasma, blood cells and platelets that is circulated by the heart, carrying oxygen and nutrients to and waste materials away from all body tissues.
This body fluid contains amongst other things: - red blood cells or erythrocytes that transport oxygen from the lungs to the different organs. - white blood cells or leukocytes that play a role in defending infections and building up immunity. - platelets that take care of the blood clotting.
A tissue with red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and other substances suspended in fluid called plasma. Blood takes oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, and carries away wastes.
Blood is a fluid that transports oxygen and nutrients to all parts of an animal's body. It also serves to carry away waste products. Blood is composed of a solid portion consisting of blood cells and platelets, and a fluid portion called plasma.
Red fluid that carries oxygen and nutrient to the cells and takes away carbon dioxide and waste.
In TCM, Blood not only includes the blood of conventional medicine, but also includes Ying and Jing-Ye, liquids special to TCM that circulate along with blood. A Yin substance, Blood hosts and also produces Qi, and it nourishes the organs as well as the entire body. Together with Qi, Blood supports all the functions of the body.
The familiar red fluid in the body that contains white and red blood cells, platelets, proteins, and other elements. The blood is transported throughout the body by the circulatory system. Blood functions in two directions: arterial and venous. Arterial blood is the means by which oxygen and nutrients are transported to tissues while venous blood is the means by which carbon dioxide and metabolic by-products are transported to the lungs and kidneys, respectively, for removal from the body.
Specialised fluid often containing cells that is circulated to provide internal transport in animals.
metaphysical suffering’; • Christ’s Passion; • ‘[t]he sacred or bleeding heart’; • Catholicism: ‘blood is a symbol of life and redemption through Christ’s sacrifice and red is therefore the symbolic colour of martyrdom’; • Aztec belief: ‘blood was man’s most precious possession, a source of vital energy and nourishment for the gods and regeneration of the cosmos’; • Aztec sacrifice; • uterine blood: ‘ambivalent attitudes towards womanhood, fertility and childbirth’; • ‘ambivalence of abjection’; • ‘magenta symbolises blood’; • ‘red ribbons stand in for umbilical cords or family blood ties’; • blood heritage.
The fluid which circulates throughout the body carrying nourishment and oxygen to the cells and tissue, and at the same time takes away waste matter and carbon dioxide.
Blood supplies oxygen to the body and removes carbon dioxide. It is pumped around the body by the heart.
Liquid substance which travels in Vessels and supplies Oxygen and nutrients to all areas of the body.
Blood is a highly specialized circulating tissue consisting of several types of cells suspended in a fluid medium known as plasma. The cellular constituents are: red blood cells, which carry respiratory gases and give it its red color because they contain hemoglobin (an iron-containing protein that binds oxygen in the lungs and transports it to tissues in the body), white blood cells (leukocytes), which fight disease, and platelets, cell fragments which play an important part in the clotting of the blood. Medical terms related to blood often begin with hemo- or hemato- (BE: haemo- and haemato-) from the Greek word "haima" for "blood."
