Bite order

Pull oxygen delivery, blood volume, clotting, immunity, production, and cross-system links together.

Oxygen delivery as haemoglobin plus flow

Blood volume and pressure support

Polycythaemia as increased red-cell mass

Bleeding risk versus clotting risk

Infection and inflammatory blood patterns

Blood as a cross-system connector
