👉 Fluids, encompassing water and other substances like oils and gases, are transported through the body via various methods. One primary method is through the circulatory system, where blood acts as a fluid medium, carrying nutrients, oxygen, and waste products between organs. Blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries, facilitate this transport by expanding and contracting to maintain blood pressure and flow. Additionally, fluids can move through the respiratory system via alveoli, where gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. In plants, fluids move through xylem and phloem tissues via transpiration and pressure gradients, respectively. These mechanisms ensure essential substances are distributed throughout the body and waste products are removed efficiently.
