| definition 1: |
Blood is the red liquid that your heart sends out through your body. Without enough blood, we cannot live. When you eat food, the things that your body needs from the food go into your blood. The blood brings these things to all the parts of your body. This is one reason why blood is important.
Did you know that if you lose a lot of blood, your body can often use blood from another person? People have different types of blood, though, so you have to get blood from a person with the same type.
