Description: In this video, we'll dig into the components of blood and talk about why it's important. We talk about the erythrocytes (red blood cells), Leukocytes (white blood cells), and thrombocytes (platelets) and show how they contribute to the 3 main functions of blood: transportation (nutrients, hormones, and oxygen), protection (think: immune system), and homeostasis). 00:00 Intro 00:18 Blood Structure 01:07 Transportation 03:30 Protection 04:13 Quiz Questions 05:28 Homeostasis 07:03 Quiz Answers 07:38 What’s in the Blood
