Blood

The first topic that you will be covering with me is about blood, its structure and function. You will need to be able to describe and explain its transportation role within the body and they nature of its components.

The following websites will provide some background reading to support your learning. Make sure that you use them - reading around the subject is really important if you are to do well.
