- Respiratory function:
Oxygen supply for tissues, carbon dioxide removal from tissues - Excretory function:
Transport to the excretory organ (metabolic sediments, toxins) - Regulation of the internal milieu:
Acid-base-balance, blood-pH, homeostasis of the extra-cellular matrix - Transportation of nutrients and toxins:
Nutrients and toxins reabsorbed and split by the intestine are transported to liver tissues and organs - Regulation of the temperature
- Immune system
- Communication/control mechanism:
Transportation of hormones, cytokines etc. - Blood clotting.
The idea of being able to draw conclusions from the condition of the body is not new. Since blood is a very unique source of information, the BRL-Laboratory puts modern forward-looking blood diagnosis into practice. Due to its functional i.e. morphological constitution, blood can be seen as a ”liquid organ” within our organism. Through constant circulation, in a three-minute-time (circulation time) time span, it comes into contact with every single organ and region of the body. Even for the ”traditional” or ”conventional” physician, blood is not only a separate ”liquid organ” but also a source of information, and it therefore must be seen as a diagnostic medium for a multitude of physiological or pathological processes in our body.
Blood, as a multifunctional medium for transport, covers a whole range of needs while circulating through our body:
