Feedback:
The hematologic system has three general functions: transportation, regulation, and protection. These functions involve delivery of nutrients and oxygen to cells, removal of wastes, blood volume regulation, blood cell and antibody production, and blood coagulation. The lymphatic system transports dietary fats, drains interstitial fluid, and provides immunity to help protect the body from infection. It also recycles and returns excess proteins that may escape from blood vessels to the systemic circulation.
