Which of the following is not a function of the blood?

The correct answer is: "Distribution of bile". Blood has several important functions in the body, including maintenance of body temperature, formation of clots to prevent blood loss from injuries, transportation of oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues, removal of waste products from the body, and distribution of hormones to their target organs. However, bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, and it is released into the small intestine to help with the digestion of fats. Bile is not transported by the blood.
