2.58 understand the role of plasma in the transport of carbon dioxide, digested food urea, hormones and heat energy

Plasma is like the yellowy liquid part of the blood, it carries everything that needs transporting around your body (including red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets). It also transports...
- digested food (e.g. amino acids and glucose) from the gut to your bodies cells
- Carbon dioxide from our cells to the lungs
- Urea (salt, water amino acids) from the liver (where it's made) to the kidneys
- Hormones
- Heat energy (ensuring you are the same temperature throughout your body)
