Concept introduction: Blood is a fluid connective tissue that carries oxygen, glucose, and nutrients throughout the body. It mainly consists of four types of components, namely red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), plasma, and platelets. All the blood cells differentiate from the red bone marrow.
