  • Blood is the circulatory fluid, and contains cells like WBC, RBC, and platelets. 
  • Blood circulates through the body and transports oxygen and carbon dioxide through the body. 
  • Platelets help in the formation of the blood clot; clots help to slow or stop bleeding and help in wound healing. 
  • If the platelet count in the blood is low, it could risk our body for severe bleeding and hemorrhage.
  • Skin prevents the entry of foreign particles inside the body.
