Blood is also the transport medium for the secretion of endocrine glands (F) and distributes (G) from the muscles and liver. The blood also contains leukocytes, which are involved in body (H). If the vascular system is damaged in any way, it will be repaired by the (I) mechanism. Blood osmotic pressure is maintained mainly by the plasma protein (J).

Blood enters the right side of the heart and is sent to the lungs where it becomes oxygenated.
