Abstract:
The ever-increasing demand for blood and blood products has resulted in extensive and accelerated research in the area of blood replacement. Improvements have been made in techniques for prolonging the shelf life of blood. Autotransfusion, a concept originating the early 1800s, has been refined and advanced to a point where it is a safe and efficacious method of supplying blood for patients needing emergency or elective procedures. In addition, oxygen-carrying artificial blood substitutes, specifically perfluorocarbons and stroma-free hemoglobin, are currently under investigation. The area of blood replacement holds many exciting prospects both now and for the future.

Overview of Blood Vessels
Arteries and Arterioles: Arteries are muscular and elastic vessels that primarily carry oxygenated blood from the heart to body tissues, except for the pulmonary artery, which carries deoxygenated blood. They have thick walls to withstand high pressure and contain a layer of muscle tissue, allowing them to expand or contract as...
