Synopsis

This book hinges on a crucial function performed by the blood: facilitating the flow of substances necessary for bodily function and supplying energy to our tissues. It also underscores the blood's role in maintaining a uniform chemical and thermal environment within our bodies' cells. The author delves into the composition of the blood, classifying its cellular elements—red blood cells, white blood cells, and blood platelets—and detailing their individual functions in the circulatory system. Moreover, the book investigates the intricate process of blood coagulation and the factors that respectively promote and inhibit its occurrence. Additionally, the author provides methods for estimating blood volume, the number of corpuscles, and the oxygen content of blood, and discusses the importance of maintaining blood pressure for the optimal functioning of the circulatory system. This book is an invaluable resource for understanding the fundamental principles governing the human circulatory system and the vital role it plays in our overall health and well-being.
