Blood

Blood is a specialized bodily fluid in animals that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.

Famous quotes containing the word blood:

A bodily or mental furniture.

Where can she look until He make the show!
What can she know until He bid her know!
How can she live till in her blood He live!”
