👉 Cardiovascular fluid, also known as blood, is a complex, dynamic mixture that plays a crucial role in the circulatory system. It comprises plasma, the liquid component, and various blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) suspended within it. Plasma, primarily water with dissolved proteins, nutrients, hormones, and waste products, serves as the medium for transporting these substances throughout the body. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to tissues and carbon dioxide back to the lungs, while white blood cells are key components of the immune system, defending against infections. Platelets help in blood clotting to prevent excessive bleeding. Together, these elements ensure efficient circulation, nutrient delivery, waste removal, and immune response, making cardiovascular fluid indispensable for maintaining overall health and homeostasis.
