The blood functions to regulate body temperature, carry hormones and antibodies, clot blood to heal tissues, transport oxygen and nutrients, and remove waste like carbon dioxide. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin to carry oxygen and are produced in bone marrow, while white blood cells are an important part of the immune system by producing antibodies and destroying pathogens. Platelets help the blood clot to stop bleeding and protect the body.
