What is blood?

Blood is a red coloured fluid that contains a red pigment that is known haemoglobin in its blood cells; pumped through the body by the heart and contains plasma, blood cells, and platelets. Plasma is the liquid and colourless part of the blood and contains 90% water, and contains dissolved substances such as protein, digested food, common salt, hormones and waste products; and carries all of these dissolved substances within the body, and red blood cells, white cells and platelets immersed in the plasma. The red blood cell mature blood cell that contains haemoglobin to carry oxygen to the bodily tissues and a biconcave disc that has no nucleus. Platelets are tiny bits of protoplasm found in vertebrate blood; essential for blood clotting.  Blood regulates body temperature; the blood capillaries in our skin help to keep our body temperature constant at about 37°C; white blood cells kill the bacteria and other germs which cause diseases. White blood cells fight against illness and protect us from infections; manufacture antibodies which are responsible for providing immunity in our body.

Immune system

Immunity is the state in which an organism can resist disease or the state of not being susceptible. The immune system in our body is an ability to protect us against any disease: a system including the thymus, bone marrow and lymphoid tissues of which protects the body from foreign substances, and pathogenic organisms by producing the immune response. A bodily defence response is an immune reaction of the body which identifies an invading substance such as an antigen: a virus or fungus or bacteria or transplanted organ, and produces antibodies specific against that antigen. The immune globin is a class of proteins produced in lymph tissue in vertebrates that function as antibodies in the immune response.
