There are 2 major components of blood -- the liquid portion, which is called ( plasma ) , & the solid portion, which includes ( the various blood cells and platelets ) .
Plasma contains water, antibodies, clotting factors, nutrients (such as glucose, amino acids, fatty acids & glycerol), oxygen, carbon dioxide, ions, triglycerides,vitamins, minerals, etc.
The solid portion includes erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), & thrombocytes (platelets).
Red blood cells are the cells that can transport oxygen because they have many iron-containing molecules called hemoglobin that attracts oxygen. White blood cells are an important part of our immune systems & help fight disease. Thrombocytes are fragments of a specialized cell which are needed for the blood clotting process.
