Multicellular organisms require
transport systems
to supply their cells and remove
waste products
View source
In humans, one of the functions of the circulatory system is to transport substances
View source
Transport
systems
Made up of
tubes
or
'vessels'
that carry materials from one part of the organism to another
Make close
contact
with cells, such as those of
exchange
surfaces

Red
blood cells
Blood cells which contain the pigment
haemoglobin
responsible for the transport of
oxygen
View source
Blood plasma
The liquid part of the blood containing useful things like glucose, amino acids, minerals, vitamins (nutrients) and hormones, as well as waste materials such as urea
