2. 21-2 Blood Blood is a Connective Tissue Because:
it contains cells, a liquid ground substance (called plasma), and dissolved protein fibers.
About four times more viscous (or thicker) than water.
Temperature of blood is about 1°C higher than measured body temperature.
Can be broken down into its liquid and cellular components by a machine called a centrifuge.
blood is withdrawn from a vein and collected in a centrifuge tube
tube is placed into the centrifuge, which then spins it in a circular motion for several minutes
rotational movement separates the blood into
Liquid
Cellular components
