Answer:
the components of blood are RBC WBC PLATELETS and PLASMA.
RBC- RBC stands for red blood cells.These are also called erythrocytes.These cells are red in colour beacuse of presence of a pigment called hemoglobin.Total blood count of rbcs is 5-5.5 million which is slightly less in mammalian.RBCs having a biconcave shape.They have a life span of 120 days.
WBC-stand for white blood cells and also called as leucocytes.They are colourless due to absence of hemoglobin.6000-8000 of WBCs are present in each ml of blood.
PLATELETS- platelets are also called as thrombocytes.These are cell fragments produce from megakaryocytes in bone marrow. 150000-350000 are present in each ml of blood. Main function of platelets is to clot the blood in case of injuries.
PLASMA-it is a straw coloured viscous fluid that constitutes 55% of blood volume.It consists of 90-92% water, 6-8% Protein and small amount of minerals like sodium,calcium.
