Which of the following is NOT a function of blood?
1:-distribute body heat
2: transport gasses
3: protect against disease
4: secretion
Answer: 1:-distribute body heat
The main function of blood to circulate heat does not apply to this case, as body heat is distributed locally. The primary functions of blood are:
2: Transport gases: Blood carries oxygen from the lungs to body tissues and back to the lungs carbon dioxide from body tissues.
3: Prevent diseases: Blood contains white blood cells and antibodies that will help you fight disease.
4: Secretion: Clotting factors secreted by the liver, endocrine glands, and bone marrow are circulated systemically by the blood.
Other functions of blood include:
Transporting the nutrients, water, or internally eliminating wastes and metabolic products.
Regulating the pH levels and body temperature.
Clotting ability to prevent stop loss of blood
Nevertheless, such an event depends mostly on the cardiovascular system, through scarce circulation of the blood, not the blood carrying heat. In fact, the influence of blood on normal heat distribution in the body is going to be indirect one.
