What are the chief functions of the blood?

  1. Covering and shaping the skeletal system

  2. Equalizing the body's temperature and protecting it from extremes

  3. Carrying waste and impurities away from cells

  4. Affecting growth and development

The correct answer is: Equalizing the body's temperature and protecting it from extremes

The chief functions of blood include transporting oxygen and nutrients to tissues, removing waste products and regulating body temperature. Option A is incorrect because bones, not blood, are responsible for covering and shaping the skeletal system. Option C is incorrect because blood mainly carries oxygen and nutrients, not waste and impurities. Option D is incorrect because blood does not directly affect growth and development.
