Blood is thick because it contains various components such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. These components give blood its viscosity, or thickness, which is necessary for it to flow properly through the body and carry out its functions such as delivering oxygen and nutrients, fighting infections, and clotting to stop bleeding.
