Blood has many vital chores:

• oxygen and nutrient supply
• disposal of carbon dioxide and other waste products of the body
• thermoregulation
• distribution of hormones and other substances throughout the body
• immune response

The balanced composition of blood is a major condition to fulfill these chores successfully, thus to maintain human well-being and health.
