• Blood vessels (arteries & veins)
 COMPONENTS OF CIRCULATORY
SYSTEM
• Blood
• Blood vessels
• Heart
 COMPONENTS OF BLOOD
• PLASMA-The liquid part of blood is called plasma. Plasma transports food,
water, carbon dioxide, nitrogenous waste etc. 
• Red Blood Cells
• White Blood Cells
• Platelets
 RED BLOOD CORPUSCLES(RBC)

• RBC are red in colour due to the presence of a red pigment called haemoglobin.
• Hemoglobin is an iron protein ,which binds with oxygen and transports oxygen throughout the body.
• Structure of RBC:
1.Circular in shape
2.Do not have nuclei
3.Life Span 3 to 4 months
4. Bone marrow is the producer of RBC .
 WHITE BLOOD CORPUSCLES
(WBC)
• White Blood Cells
• Leucocytes
• Structure
1. Spherical or irregular in shape
2. Nucleus is present
• Function
1 Fight against infection and protect us from diseases
2 Soldiers of the body.
3. They release antibodies
PLATELETS
 BLOOD VESSELS
• ARTERIES
• VEINS
• CAPILLARIES
 ASSIGNMENT
(Refer NCERT TB page no’s 105 and 107’)
• What are the components of blood.? Mention its function.
• Differentiate between arteries and veins.
