31 A research student is investigating artificial substitutes for human blood in emergency blood loss situations. For example, a person has suffered a trauma resulting in a large open wound and has lost a large volume of blood. The wound has been temporarily closed and blood loss has been slowed. Consider the above scenario to answer the following questions in sentence format. a. While blood supports many functions, what would be the primary short-term purpose of artificial blood in this scenario? b. What characteristics would artificial blood need to have in order to function well in the body to address acute blood loss? c. What type of tissue is blood?
