Solution

The functions of blood include:

  1. Protection from blood loss: Blood has clotting factors which prevent excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured.

  2. Waste removal: Blood transports waste products from cells to the kidneys, lungs, and digestive system for elimination.

  3. Hormone distribution: Hormones are transported throughout the body via the bloodstream.

  4. Transport: Blood carries oxygen from the lungs to the cells of the body and carbon dioxide from the cells to the lungs. It also transports nutrients from the digestive system to the cells.

  5. Urination: This is not a function of blood. Urination is a function of the urinary system, which removes waste products from the blood and regulates the balance of water and electrolytes in the body.
