, Some Facts


• Blood is a “connective tissue”
• It’s matrix is “ground substance”
• It’s color is determined by the amount of oxygen being carried
– Bright red: oxygen rich
– Darker blue/red: oxygen poor (oxygen deprivation, hypoxemia, is what
causes “cyanosis”)
• Quantity is determined by:
– Body size
– Gender
– Age
**The average adult has 4-6 liters
• Blood “viscosity” is about 3-5 times that of water
– An increase in viscosity can burden the heart and cause the pump to fail
