🩸 Here’s a detailed breakdown of the composition of human blood—a remarkable fluid that keeps everything in motion:
🔬 Main Components of Blood
Blood is made up of two major parts:
1. Plasma (≈ 55%)
The straw-colored liquid portion that acts as the transport medium.
– 💧 Water (90–92%): Serves as a solvent and carrier for nutrients and waste.
– 🧪 Proteins (7–8%):
– Albumin – Maintains osmotic pressure.
– Globulins – Aid immunity.
– Fibrinogen – Helps with blood clotting.
– ⚡ Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, bicarbonate.
– 🍬 Nutrients: Glucose, amino acids, lipids.
– 🧼 Waste Products: Urea, creatinine, bilirubin.
– 🧬 Hormones & Enzymes: For signaling and regulation.
2. Formed Elements (≈ 45%)
These are the cells suspended in plasma.
1. Red Blood Cells (Erythrocytes) ~99% of cells; Carry oxygen using hemoglobin
See less2. White Blood Cells (Leukocytes) <1% ; Fight infection and disease
3. Platelets (Thrombocytes) <1%; Help blood clotting and repair vessel damage
