Answer -

The components of the formed elements in blood are as follows:

  1. Erythrocytes or Red blood cells – They carry oxygen and contain the pigment, haemoglobin. Haemoglobin reacts with oxygen to form Oxyhaemoglobin that carries oxygen to areas that are deprived of oxygen in the body.
  2. Leucocytes or white blood cells – Lymphocytes are known to synthesize antibodies that neutralizes or kills germs. Neutrophils acts as a defense mechanism against bacteria known as phagocytosis.
  3. Thrombocytes or blood platelets – They aid in coagulation of blood
