Red Blood Cells (erythrocytes) Red blood cells transport oxygen and to and from the cells. White Blood Cells (leucocytes) Leucocytes attack any bacteria or viruses that enter the body. Blood Vessels Arteries carry blood from the heart. Veins carry blood with carbon dioxide from the to the heart. Capillaries have thin so gases and materials can pass through easily. Plasma A yellow liquid made up of 90% . Plasma carries to the body and to the kidney. Word Bank carbon dioxide infection nutrients bleeding attack oxygen waste walls body water Platelets (thrombocytes) Particles that join together to stop , repair and regenerate damaged tissue.
