1. Why is Blood important?

 Blood is composed of the following living cells which support and maintain our body
tissues.
- Red blood cells, which are filled with hemoglobin and carry oxygen from our lungs to
the rest of our bodies.
- White blood cells, which defend against infection.
- Platelets, which help blood to clot when injuries occur.
In addition to the cells and clotting factors, blood contains other important substances,
such as nutrients from the food that has been processed by the digestive system.
Blood also carries hormones release by the endocrine glands and carries them to the
body parts that need them.

2. Describe the Plasma.

 Plasma is the form of matter in which many of the electrons wander around freely among
the nuclei of the atom. Plasma has been called the fourth state of matter, the other three
being solid, liquid, and gas.

3. Why are White Blood Cells important to the body?

 White blood cells (WBCs), also called leukocytes, are an important part of the immune
system. These cells help fight infections by attacking bacteria, viruses, and germs that
invades the body. White blood cells originate in the bone marrow, but circulate throughout
the bloodstream. There are five major types of white blood cells.
- Neutrophils
- Lymphocytes
- Eosinophils
- Monocytes
- Basophils

4. What are the parts of the Blood?

 Blood is a highly specialized tissue composed of more than 4,000 different kinds of
components. Four of the most important ones are red cells, white cells, platelets, and
plasma.

5. Why Blood Clot is important?

 Blood clots/blood clotting or coagulation, is an important and process that prevents

excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. Platelets (a type of blood cell) and
proteins in your plasma (the liquid part of blood) work together to stop the bleeding by
forming a clot over the injury.
