The Basics of Blood

What is blood? Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to our tissues and organs and removes waste. Blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets suspended in a fluid called plasma. These blood cells give us energy, fight off infections, and form clots when vessels are damaged.
