The different components that make up blood are plasma, white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets.

Plasma is the main component of blood and consists mostly of water, with proteins, ions, nutrients and wastes mixed in.

Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Platelets are important for blood clotting

White blood cells are an important part of our immune system and function in immune response.

Cells and platelets make up about 45% of human blood, while plasma makes up the other 55.
