Transport in Humans

Blood contains plasma and blood cells. Plasma is 90% of blood and contains water and soluble substances like proteins, salts, and hormones. Blood cells include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells are involved in oxygen transport using hemoglobin and break down into bile pigments. White blood cells are involved in protective mechanisms like antibody production and phagocytosis. Platelets are involved in blood clotting and depend on proteins like prothrombin and fibrinogen.
