Blood

100

What are the two components of blood and their percentage in the blood? 

Plasma = 55%

Formed Elements = 45%

200

Function of Erythrocytes (include life span)

Red Blood Cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the cells.

Life Span = 90 - 120 days

300

Function of Thrombocytes (include their life span)

Platelets play an important role in hemostasis, clotting thus preventing blood loss from injury

Life Span = 7-10 days

400

What is Hemoglobin? 

The main component of RBCs that transports O2 & CO2 to and from cells. Contains iron-rich pigment, giving blood its red color

500

Function of Leukocytes 

(Bonus: identify the 5 types) 

White Blood Cells fight infection and other diseases.

Granulocytes (Neutrophils, Easinophils, Basophils)

Agranulocytes (Lymphocytes, Monocytes) 

Venipuncture
