compositions of blood

Cards (4)

  • Red Blood Cells (RBCs) are like little courier vans that carry oxygen from your lungs to all body parts. Oxygen is essential for your cells to create energy and do their jobs. RBCs have a special protein called haemoglobin that helps them pick up and deliver oxygen.
  • White Blood Cells (WBCs): Think of WBCs as superheroes that protect your body from harmful germs and invaders. They help fight infections and keep you healthy. There are different types of WBCs, each with its unique way of defending your body.
  • Platelets: Platelets are like tiny repair workers. When you get a cut or scrape, platelets rush to the rescue and form clots to stop bleeding. They help in the healing process, like a natural band-aid.
  • PlasmaPlasma is the liquid part of blood, like the transport fluid in your delivery system. It carries the RBCs, WBCs, and platelets throughout your body. Plasma also carries nutrients, waste products, and hormones to different parts of your body.
