CORPUSCULAR ELEMENTS OF BLOOD
Keywords:
Blood cells, erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes, hematopoiesis, immune response, oxygen transport, hemostasis.Abstract
Blood is a fundamental component of the human body, composed of both plasma and corpuscular elements, including red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes). Each of these elements plays a vital role in maintaining homeostasis. Erythrocytes are responsible for oxygen transport via hemoglobin, leukocytes mediate immune defense, and platelets facilitate hemostasis by initiating clot formation. The production of these cells occurs through hematopoiesis in the bone marrow, ensuring a continuous supply of blood cells essential for physiological functions. Understanding the structure and function of corpuscular blood elements provides critical insights into human health, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic advancements in hematology.
