  Session 7 – Blood

  1-2 hours to complete

  • Blood is a living fluid. It transports oxygen and other essential substances through the body, fights sickness, and performs other vital functions. The heart pumps blood through a vast network of vessels called arteries and veins. Blood comprises of several components including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. These can be separated out by putting the blood in a centrifuge.

  Final Reflection Task

  • Your final part of this pathway is to share a reflection. It is important to reflect after any learning you do as this helps close the loop on what you have learnt, gives you the opportunity to answer any question you may have or even encourage you to find out more information. It will also help us in creating future pathways, learning packages and platforms.
