Blood

 


Tissue composed of circulatory cells in a liquid medium, plasma, or in the case of some invertebrates, haemolymph .  The role of blood is to carry oxygen, food-materials and excretory products through the body to different organs and tissues.  It usually contains respiratory pigments. Blood is circulated by the muscular action of vessels or specialised organs (hearts).
