Blood plasma is a straw-yellow fluid that performs transport functions in the body: it carries red and white blood cells, nutrients, and substances essential for the body. Red blood cells deliver oxygen to the appropriate parts of the body, white blood cells fight pathogens and help heal injuries, while platelets stop bleeding.
