Introduction

Blood is an important body fluid circulating throughout the body that functions to deliver nutrients and oxygen for the functioning of cells. It also removes metabolic wastes, such as carbon dioxide away from the body.

It is considered as tissue as it contains blood cells, namely red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Blood plasma is the fluid in which blood cells and blood proteins are suspended. Bone marrow stem cells give rise to blood cells.
