👉 Conducted fluid, also known as arterial or venous blood, refers to the liquid portion of blood that travels through the circulatory system via blood vessels. It is primarily composed of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and various other components like platelets and dissolved gases. This fluid moves through arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins, carrying oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body. In arteries, it is under high pressure, while in veins, it experiences lower pressure, facilitating the efficient distribution of blood to tissues and organs. The movement of conducted fluid is driven by the heart's pumping action and the pressure gradients within the vascular system.
