Blood is made up of cells suspended in plasma. The plasma is composed of electrolytes, proteins, glucose, and lipids dissolved or suspended in water. The cellular compartment comprises red blood cells (erythrocytes, RBCs), platelets (thrombocytes), and white blood cells (leukocytes). Here we describe the multiple different functions of blood, its metabolism and interaction with other tissues.

摘要

Blood is made up of cells suspended in plasma. The plasma is composed of electrolytes, proteins, glucose, and lipids dissolved or suspended in water. The cellular compartment comprises red blood cells (erythrocytes, RBCs), platelets (thrombocytes), and white blood cells (leukocytes). Here we describe the multiple different functions of blood, its metabolism and interaction with other tissues.
