Expert Solution
Introduction

Blood is the fluid in the body that transports oxygen and nutrients to the cells while also transferring metabolic wastes created by the cells.

Blood is composed of three types of cells that include:

  • Erythrocytes (red blood cells)
  • Leukocytes (white blood cells)
  • Thrombocytes (platelets)

Leukocytes are further classified into 5 types:

  • Monocytes
  • Lymphocytes
  • Neutrophils
  • Eosinophils
  • Basophils

The percentage of erythrocytes present in the blood is referred to as hematocrit.
