Blood is a tissue consisting of
plasma
, in which are suspended: •
red
blood cells •
white
blood cells •
platelets
Plasma
is the liquid part of blood that carries
dissolved
substances such as
nutrients
,
gases
,
hormones
,
waste
products and
antibodies.
White blood cells (
leucocytes
) have different functions including fighting
infection
by
engulfing
bacteria or
viruses.
Red blood cells (
erythrocytes
) contain
haemoglobin
, which binds to
oxygen
molecules. They transport
oxygen
from the
lungs
to all parts of the body.
White blood cells (
leucocytes
) have different functions including fighting
infection
by
phagocytosis
or producing
antibodies.
