Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The WBCs (white blood cells), RBCs (red blood cells), and platelets are the different types of formed elements found in the blood plasma. The blood plasma is about 90% water and remaining is dissolved hormones, proteins, and small molecules such as vitamins, fats, amino acids, carbohydrates, and
