Body Fluids and Circulation NEET Questions 2024

Body fluids play a vital role in circulation within the human body. Blood, a major body fluid, transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products. It circulates through a network of blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries. The heart serves as the central pump that propels blood throughout the body. Lymph, another body fluid, helps maintain fluid balance and immunity. The proper circulation of body fluids ensures the delivery of essential substances and the removal of waste, supporting overall health and function.
