It is red because it contains a pigment called haemoglobin in its red cells.\xa0The main components of blood are:(i) Plasma: It carries all the dissolved substances such as proteins, digested food, common salt etc from one part to another part of the body.(ii) Red blood corpuscles (RBC): It carries oxygen from the lungs to all the cells of the body.(iii) White blood corpuscles (WBC): It fights infection and protects us from diseases.(iv) Platelets: It helps in the coagulation of blood in a cut or wound.\xa0Lymph is a light yellow liquid. It is a medium of circulation in human body which flows only in one direction - from body tissues to the heart.\xa0 | |
