liters of blood in the body
5 liters/ 5,000 ml
functions of blood
blood transport, clears tissues, trans
port, moves wastes
the liquid portion of blood is called as
plasma/ components (provides coagulation enzymes)
3 categories of blood cell
RBC or erythrocytes, WBC or leukocytes, platelets or thrombocytes
hematology and all
study of blood in health and in pathologic condition/ haima blood and logos study of
eccentricity
measures how much cell deviates from being central (sickle shape)
