Blood

Blood is a fluid with amazing properties. In this program, we learn that blood acts virtually like an organ and fulfills a host of complex tasks within the organism, from oxygen transport to defending against infection. The crucial importance of blood in maintaining physical equilibrium has led to the development of numerous technologies dealing with its classification, preservation, and transfusion. The program also covers blood disorders such as anemia, hemophilia, and leukemia, as well as current medical research in treating and curing these disorders. (23 minutes)
