Red blood cells do not initiate clotting. Platelets initiate clotting.

It is still blood, just without platelets. It still contains the red blood cells and plasma, which are valuable for use even without the clotting factors. Plasma without clotting factors is serum.
Platelets are involved in clotting, and red blood cells carry oxygen.
White blood cells ( WBC), Red blood cells( RBC), and finally platelets. White blood cells are the cells that are responsible for the immunity of the cells, while red blood cells contain the oxygen containing pigment heamoglobin, and platelets are fragments of cells that are responsible for clotting.
No. Platelets in the bloodstream, when you are cut, clot the blood so you don't bleed to death.
thrombus
White blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.
Red blood cells RBC) carry oxygen.White Blood Cells (WBC) fight diseases and invaders.Platelets (blood cell fragments) help in clotting.
The three solid parts of blood are erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and thrombocytes (platelets). Red blood cells transport oxygen to all body parts. White blood cells fight infection. Platelets assist in blood clotting.
