Red Blood Cells: Help transport oxygen throughout the body.
White Blood Cells: Protect the body from viruses and bacteria that can infect the body, and can also help in an allergic response.
Platelets: Help in the clotting of the blood to prevent too much blood loss.
Plasma: The liquid part of the blood or blood minus the elements. It consists of water, salts carbon dioxide and hormones.

∙ 14y agoCells are like a factory. They have a nucleus (like a boss) which is basically the control center. The gooey body of the cell is called the cytoplasm. The wall around the cell is called the cell membrane. It lets in good things, and keeps out bad things. There are many other organisms in cells, but there are the 3 main organisms. Cells also duplicate.
Blood cells travel through your veins with your blood. They make up blood, and there are about 100,000,000 cells inside your blood. The heart pumps them through the veins to other body parts.

What makes up blood tissue?
blood cells
Name three structure of the back and their function?
1.despite the diversity among cells, a plasma membrace cytoplasm and a control center (nucleus)
Which substance is obtained by fractionation of human blood?
Fractionation of whole blood is a process where the blood is separated into its different components. These form three layers - blood plasma, a buffy coat which is a mixture of white blood cells and platelets, and red blood cells (erythrocytes).
What is the composition and functions of blood?
Blood is a fluid connective tissue whose functions are:The transport of oxygen, nutrients, hormones, enzymes, waste productsThe transport of waste productsFighting off infections (contains white blood cells)ClottingThe Regulation of body temperature
What are the three basic blood cells?
Erythrocytes (red blood cells) Leukocytes (white blood cells) Thrombocytes (platelets)
What are the three solid components of the blood?
Red cells, white cells, plasma
What three things blood contains?
Blood contains four things: white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets and plasma.
What would happen if red blood cells were put in plasma?
Whole blood is made up of 55% plasma and 45% blood cells. The blood cells come in three different varieties, red (erythrocytes), white (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes). So, red blood cells, when they are living and functioning. already are found in plasma.
What is the third kind of material carried by plasma?
The three main materials carrier by plasma are: Platelets (thrombocytes) Red Blood Cells (Erythrocytes) White blood cells (leukocytes)
What are three layers of blood spun around in a tube?
Red blood cells, serum, plasma
Does blood separate into three layers when Centrifuged?
yes. Blood separates into, from top to bottom, plasma, white blood cells/ platelets, and red blood cells.
What makes up blood tissue?
blood cells
What are the non cellular portion of the blood?
Basic breakdown for use in transfusion is red cells, plasma, and platelets...however plasma is not a cellular component. Three cellular components may be red cells, white cells, and platelets. Maybe if you could elaborate on the question, it could be better answered.
What are three types of materials that are carried in plasma?
The three materials are as follows,Red blood cellsWhite blood cellsPlateletsRed blood cells carry oxygen around the body.White blood cells fight disease.Platelets form a clot in wounds preventing the loss of blood.
What are the components of biology?
the components are plasma, platlids, white blood cells, and red blood cells. These are all components of the blood
What are constituents of blood?
There are three main constituents of blood. There are red blood cells that are responsible for the transportation of oxygen, white blood cells that are the body's defense against illness, and plasma which transports lymphocytes.
How many Components of blood are there?
I think there are two main components of blood, namely the blood cells and the blood plasma. Blood itself consists of blood cells suspended in blood plasma, which is mainly water. Blood cells could further be branched into three groups, which are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes) and platelets (thrombocytes). I also know that there are several types of white blood cells, each performing different functions in the body.
