Blood plasma 
The liquid part of the blood
View source
Functions of blood plasma
1. Transports dissolved substances around the body
2. Transports soluble digestion products from small intestine to other organs
3. Transports carbon dioxide from body cells to lungs to be breathed out
4. Transports waste product urea from liver to kidneys to be excreted
View source
Red blood cells 
Contain the oxygen-carrying molecule hemoglobin
Have no nucleus, allowing more space for hemoglobin
Have a biconcave disk shape, giving greater surface area for oxygen diffusion
View source
Function of red blood cells
Transport oxygen from lungs to body cells
View source
White blood cells 
Contain a nucleus with DNA encoding instructions for immune system functions
View source
Function of white blood cells
Part of the immune system, e.g. making antibodies
View source
Platelets 
Tiny fragments of cells that help the blood to clot
