Blood is a living tissue that contains plasma, red cells, white cells, and platelets; all of which are vital to the body and are still contained within the blood that is donated. Red cells carry oxygen throughout the entire body, plasma carries water throughout the entire body, white cells protect against infection and disease, and platelets helps to control any type of bleeding. All of these components are still contained within the donated blood and are the reason why blood donations are so important and truly help to save countless lives.
