Platelets are fragments of megakaryocytes, which are very large cells in the bone marrow. They aid in the formation of blood clots, which slow or stop bleeding and aid wound healing.

Function: They form in the marrow in your bones, which is a sponge-like tissue. Platelets are essential for blood clotting. When one of your blood vessels is damaged, you normally begin to bleed. Your platelets will clot (to stop the bleeding by plugging the opening in the blood vessel).

description: cellular component of the blood that has a nucleus, lacks haemoglobin, capable of motility and protects the body against disease and infection. white blood cells are located in the bloodstream and account for 1% of the blood in our bodies. white blood cell formation occurs in the bone marrow.

functions:
- helps the body fight infection and disease by killing fungi, bacteria and debris
- the lymphocytes protect against viral infections and produce proteins to help you fight infection - these are called antibodies

types of white blood cells are:
- granulocytes: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils
- monocytes
- lymphocytes: T cells and B cells

- Made in the bone marrow
- Typically live for about 120 days, and then they die
- Round with a flattish, indented center
- Contains a protein called haemoglobin which carry oxygen around the body and takes away carbon dioxide
- Anemia is the disease of red blood cells
- Types of anemia: Iron-deficiency anemia, Sickle cell anemia, Normocytic anemia, Hemolytic anemia, Fanconi anemia

description: A straw-colored fluid in which our blood cells float; carries various dissolved substances to different parts of the body.
function: Carries:
-digested food from the small intestine to cells
-carbon dioxide as hydrogencarbonate ions from respiring tissues to the lungs
-urea from the liver to the kidneys
-hormones from the blood plasma to the endocrine organs of the body
-heat energy from respiring tissues (carried by warm plasma) to cooler regions of the body.
