 * Components of Blood** p. 88-89

There are three different components of blood, and they all have important functions. Red blood cells transport oxygen, nutients, and water to your cells. It also carries carbon dioxide away from your cells. 55 percent of your bodies blood is plasma, yellowish fluid that contaions protiens and nutrients. White blood cells are the protectors of the body, they prevent the growth of cancer and fight other infections. Platelets are the last component of blood, they clot the blood when you get a cut and stop it from bleeding. [|]

 * What are the 3 other blood components? || The 3 other components are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets ||
 * What do red blood cells do? || Red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to the cells of your body and carbon dioxide fron your body cells to your lungs, where it is exhaled ||
