• bringing oxygen from the lung tissue and return the carbon dioxide therein;
• throw waste matter from the internal organs through the kidneys;
• ensure homeostasis (constancy and balance the internal environment): to maintain the temperature, fluid and electrolyte balance, the work of hormones and enzymes;
• protect the body: blood circulating white blood cells and plasma proteins that are responsible for immunity.
