Formed elements

Explanation:

Blood is composed of many complex molecules such as proteins, glucose, amino acids, ions, water, waste, etc.

We can divide blood into 2 components:

$Plasma$ $color(orange)"Plasma"$
$Formed elements$ $color(red)"Formed elements"$

![ online.science.psu.edu )

$Plasma$ $color(orange)("Plasma")$ is composed of $proteins (albumin, transferrin. globulins), electrolytes (K^{+ 1}, {Cl}^{- 1}, {Na}^{+ 1})$ $"proteins (albumin, transferrin. globulins), electrolytes" ("K"^(+1), "Cl"^(-1), "Na"^(+1))$ and $water$ $"water"$ along with other wastes, gases, etc.

$Formed elements$ $color(red)"Formed elements"$ involves $red blood cells$ $"red blood cells"$ (erythrocytes), $white blood cells$ $"white blood cells"$ (leukocytes) and $platelets$ $"platelets"$ .
