Q

What are the components of Blood?

A

ECM: Plasma - a yellow liquid containing nutrients, wastes,

Cells:

  • Red blood cells (erythrocytes) contain haemoglobin to transport O2 To other cells
  • White blood cells (leukocytes) which INCLUDe lymphocytes + Neutrophils ( move to sites of infection and are phagocytic) and Eosinophils (sites of infection and allergic reaction)
