∙ 9y agoBlood itself is not a formed element. Blood is made up of a mixture of the formed elements (the solid cells or cell fragments in the blood) and the liquid matrix (plasma). The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).

Is globulin a formed element in the blood?
Fibrinogen is not a formed element of blood. It's a chemical component in the plasma. The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
Which of the formed elements contains hemoglobin and transports respiratory gases?
I do believe that the answer is erythrocytes. Erythrocytes are the formed element in blood that transport oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What is the least numerous formed element in blood?
leukocytes
What is the smallest form element in the blood and they play an important role in blood clotting?
Platelets, or thrombocytes, are the smallest formed element in the blood. Made of cell fragments, platelets are part of the blood clotting process. Non-formed clotting factors also are critical to blood clotting.thrombocytes
What is the smallest formed element in the blood?
Thrombocytes are the smallest formed elements in the blood. In my Medical Terminology book, it says "The smallet formed elements found in blood are platelets. Although they are sometimes called thrombocytes, they are not true cells, as the term erroneously suggests, but merely fragments of cells."

Which formed element is a leukocyte?
Leukocytes is another name for white blood cell. These formed elements fight infections and other "foreign" invaders. The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
When a finger is pricked the blood will stop flowing shortly because of the action of the formed elements called?
Platelets, or thrombocytes, are the formed element of the blood that assist in blood clotting. Platelets are cell fragments, unlike the other formed elements (white blood cells and red blood cells).
What do the formed elements of the blood include and which are cell fragments?
The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes). Thrombocytes are the formed element that is actually a cell fragment. Platelets are important in blood clotting.
What formed element does not have chromosomes?
The formed element that does not have chromosomes is the red blood cell (erythrocyte). Red blood cells are lacking in a nucleus and do not contain chromosomes or genetic material. This feature allows them to maximize their capacity for carrying oxygen.
