deliver blood to capillaries.
Capillaries: Correct Answer-It is through the walls of capillaries that
plasma will leave and carry oxygen and nutrients, ions, electrolytes, etc.
to our cells. It will pick up what the cell has excreted and returns it back

Functions of Blood: Correct Answer-Distribution: transportation and

Regulation (Homeostasis): regulating temperature, pH, fluid volume,
and the connection with electrolytes
Protection: blood clotting and protecting us from infection through our
leukocytes
