Bloodology
All of the blood cells in the body are mixed together
in a slightly yellowish liquid called Plasma. Plasma is mostly made
up of water, but also contains proteins, sugars and salt. In addition
to carrying blood cells throughout your body, plasma also carries
hormones, nutrients and chemicals, such as iron. Plasma
has the important function of maintaining the pH of the blood at
approximately 7.4.

It was interesting
to see how all the blood components work together. I didn't
know much about it.
