Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the primary function of each blood component listed: erythrocytes, platelets, plasma, and leukocytes.
Erythrocytes, also known as red blood cells, are primarily responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs.
Platelets are involved in blood clotting and do not play a role in oxygen transport.
Plasma is the liquid component of blood that carries cells, nutrients, hormones, and waste products, but it does not directly transport oxygen.
Leukocytes, or white blood cells, are part of the immune system and are not involved in oxygen transport.
