Human blood consists of about 22 percent solids and 78 percent water. The components of human blood are:

  • Plasma, in which the blood cells are suspended, including:
    • Red blood cells (erythrocytes) - carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
    • White blood cells (leukocytes) - help fight infections and aid in the immune process. Types of white blood cells include:
      • Lymphocytes.
      • Monocytes.
      • Eosinophils.
      • Basophils.
      • Neutrophils (granulocytes).
    • Platelets (thrombocytes) - help in blood clotting.
    • Fat globules.
    • Chemical substances, including:
      • Carbohydrates.
      • Proteins.
      • Hormones.
    • Gases, including:
      • Oxygen.
