The cartilage tissue. 12. The body tissue in general. 1. _The plasmo tissue_: This tissue is a liquid, the blood plasma, which is one of the important component parts of the life-giving substance, blood. It is the blood serum--blood-water and fibrogen--which harbours the white and the red corpuscles. The red corpuscles are the carriers of oxygen to the various tissues, which the body draws from the atmosphere, and of the other nutriments. They exchange it for the carbonic acid which is forming in the body, and while the blood in flowing through the system of arteries, brings the oxygen, it carries away, through the veins, the poisonous carbonic acid which is exhaled into the atmosphere. The red corpuscles, after having performed their duties, enter the liver and are used to build the gall. The proper quality of the plasma alone regulates the speed of blood circulation and ensures its entrance into the finest capillaries--the ultimate branches of the blood-vessels--hence, its capacity to carry supplies of nutriment to the tissues. The disturbance of this proper quality is among the main factors of constitutional disease. |
