network of miles and miles of blood vessels. The average adult body contains about 10 pints of blood.

Blood contains many substances - red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma and platelets, plus various nutrients and minerals. Each plays an important part in keeping your body healthy and growing.

Blood has four major jobs: It carries oxygen to the body cells.

It distributes nutrients to the body cells so that they can create energy.

It carries special blood cells and chemicals, which defend the body against infections and injuries.

It removes waste products from the body cells.

Give blood, give life: The Bermuda Red Cross Blood Donor Centre is located on the first floor of the King Edward Memorial Hospital. Regular clinics are held on Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoons. If you have any questions call 236-5067.
