W.A.L.T about the blood this is what I have.
the red blood cells carry oxygen around our body.Red blood cells also remove carbon dioxide from your body and transports it to our lungs for us to exhale.Red blood cells are made in our bones in the bone marrow.red blood cells live for about 120 days and then they die but then other ones are made.the red blood cells are as flat as a basket ball.
White blood cells are also called leukocytes.White blood cells are cell of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infections.White blood cells get rid of all the germs.
Platelets are a tiny blood cell that helps your body from clots to stop bleeding.If one of your blood vessels gets damaged it sends out signals that are picked up by platelets.The platelets the rush to the site of damaged and from the a plug or clot to repair the damage.
Plasma is a light yellow liquid similar to the colour of straw.Along with water.Plasma carries salts and enzymes.Plasma is one of the vital blood competence required for modern medical practice.Donating plasma is an automated process where instead of donating whole blood 1 and 3 hours to donate and plasma donation all of the supplies which come in contact with the blood are sterile.

Hi Alla
ReplyDeleteThis post is very informative. I really like the way you have set it out in paragraphs, talking about each of the types of blood cells. It makes it easy to read. You might want to put a space after a full-stop so our eyes can see where the new sentence begins.
I have often donated blood and have thought about plasma donation, but I don't think I could sit for about three hours to do it!
Just wondering, if blood is red, when do we see the yellow plasma?
