Plasma: Composed mainly of water about 90% in volume. It is what the blood cells suspend in.
Red Blood Cells: deliver oxygen to the tissue via the blood and carries some of the waste products back from the tissue.
White Blood Cells: cells of the immune system that are composed of various things.
Platelets: Platelets play a fundamental role in hemostasis and are a natural source of growth factors[. They circulate in the blood of mammals and are involved in hemostasis leading to the formation of blood clots. Like red blood cells, platelets have no nucleus.
Hemostasis is a complex process which causes the bleeding process to stop.
