Blood

"Blood is a constantly circulating fluid providing the body with nutrition, oxygen, and waste removal. Blood is mostly liquid, with numerous cells and proteins suspended in it, making blood ""thicker"" than pure water. The average person has about 5 liters (more than a gallon) of blood.
A liquid called plasma makes up about half of the content of blood. Plasma contains proteins that help blood to clot, transport substances through the blood, and perform other functions. Blood plasma also contains glucose and other dissolved nutrients.
About half of blood volume is composed of blood cells:
• Red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the tissues.
• White blood cells, which fight infections.
• Platelets, smaller cells that help blood to clot.
Blood is conducted through blood vessels (arteries and veins). Blood is prevented from clotting in the blood vessels by their smoothness, and the finely tuned balance of clotting factors."

Thrombophlebitis

"Thrombophlebitis is swelling (inflammation) of a vein caused by a blood clot. The following increase your chances for thrombophlebitis:

1. Being hospitalized for a major surgery or with a major illness
2. Disorders that make you more likely to develop blood clots
3. Sitting for a long period of time (such as on a long airplane trip) The following symptoms are often associated with thrombophlebitis:

1. Inflammation (swelling) in the part of the body affected
2. Pain in the part of the body affected
3. Skin redness (not always present)
4. Warmth and tenderness over the vein"
