-body contains 5 Liters (L) -made of cells, cell parts, and plasma (the fluid part of the blood) | Blood |
-most abundant cells in the body -contain hemoglobin which makes cells red and transport oxygen (O2) -Contains Iron (Fe) and O2 bonds with Fe b/c they are flat there is more surface area to carry more O2 -Made in bone marrow | Red Blood Cells |
It won't be able to carry enough O2. Cells won't receive enough O2. Reactions in cells won't take place. Glucose won't be broken down fast enough. Leads to fatigue and being tired. | The body doesn't get enough Iron (Fe) |

-only live 5-10 days -clump together when there is a cut so less blood is lost | Platelets |
chemicals on surface of RBCs | Antigens |
Chemicals in plasma that bind to antigens not found on their RBC's | Antibodies |
-has A antigens and B antibodies | Type A blood |
-has B antigens and A antibodies | Type B blood |
-has AB antigens and no antibodies | Type AB blood |
-has no antigens and AB antibodies | Type O blood |
