Summary Introduction
Introduction:
WBCs (white blood cells), RBCs (red blood cells), and platelets are the different types of formed elements that remain suspended in the blood plasma. These formed elements, as well as plasma, are essential in carrying out various activities in the body. The deviation in the number of formed elements can occur due to several reasons.
