Principle

Every human being possesses 5 to 7 liters of blood which
constantly circulates in the body. When circulating, it transports
nutrients and heat to wherever needed. The blood also has many
other functions, for example, it is responsible for the closure of
wounds and it is capable of eliminating various pathogens. But
blood itself may be a carrier of pathogens (hepatitis viruses and
HIV), even if people appear to be healthy. Any direct contact with
the blood of another person must therefore be avoided by all means.
For this reason, animal blood or a permanent slide may also be used
in the following experiments.
