Together, these three kinds of blood cells sum up for a total 45% of blood tissue (55% is plasma).[1]
| Cell type | Primary function | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Red blood cells | transport of oxygen | 120 days |
| White blood cells | produces antibodies to fight infection | days to years |
| Platelets | blood clotting | 28 days |
