Explanation

Human blood is a fluid connective tissue. It supplies oxygen and nutrients to body tissues and carries CO₂ and other waste products away from them. Blood has four components—plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Plasma constitutes about 55% of blood and the remaining components about 45%. Plasma contains mostly water (around 92%).
