Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Blood is composed of blood cells, fluid; plasma, white blood cells, platelets, and red blood cells. Hemopoiesis is the process through which blood cells are formed from hematopoietic stem cells. Blood cells include erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelet.

- Blood clotting is a homeostatic response. When clotting is poor, even a slight injury to a blood vessel may lead to severe blood loss. When clotting is excessive, small blood vessels in critical places in the body can become clogged leading to clots.
