O2__anemia is a result of a lack of
thiz
- larger surface area__to
collect mo O2
- flexible
membrane__inorder for it
to pass thru capillaries

- PLASMA__55% in blood__carries blood cells,
dissolved waste n' nutrients__also carries

- CAPILLARIES__very tiny_connect veins
n' ateries__made up of endothiliam cells
- have gaps on the walls to allow diffusion
of material between blood n' cells
- blood pressure is very low in comparison to
