Understand the components of blood: Blood is composed of formed elements and plasma. Formed elements include cells and cell fragments, while plasma is the liquid portion.
Identify the formed elements: The formed elements in blood are erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and platelets (thrombocytes).
Recognize the role of plasma: Plasma is the liquid component of blood that carries cells and proteins throughout the body. It is not considered a formed element.
