Question

Blood is a complex fluid that contains various components, each with specific functions. The primary components of blood are:

Answer 1

1. Plasma
2. Red blood cells
3. White blood cells
4. Platelets.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Blood has four major components: (1) a fluid component called plasma, (2) circulating solutes such as ions, (3) serum proteins, and (4) cells. Plasma comprises about 55% of blood volume and is the transportation medium for important serum proteins such as albumin, globulin, fibrinogen, prothrombin, and plasminogen.
• The three classes of formed elements are the erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and the thrombocytes (platelets).
