The corpuscular elements of blood

Blood is the largest organ in our body. Ten pints of life force coursing

through thousands of miles of arteries, veins and capillaries. Those blood vessels

carry blood to every other organ, keeping them functioning and thriving.

Our red blood cells carry oxygen and nutrients. Our platelets stop bleeding

and help to heal our wounds. Our white cells protect us again, against the

infections, and the liquid yellow plasma in which they are suspended, carries an

array of proteins, that regulate bleeding and clotting.
