Parts Of Blood
Storyboard Text
- Hello, we are red blood cells. Nice to finally meet you! If you think we look weird, we really don't, we look like squashed basketballs. Hemoglobin, a type of protein, makes up the majority of a red blood cell (RBC). In the lungs, hemoglobin absorbs oxygen and transports it to the rest of the body. We actually only have a 120-day lifespan. Don’t worry that you are going to run out of us because RBCs are the largest type of blood cell that you have. Now that you have learned the basics, you are good to go. You can go meet the white blood cells now.
- I see you met RBC. We are white blood cells! We are bigger than the red blood cells. Unlike RBCs, your body does not have as many WBCs. We are mostly known as the "disease fighters." If there is an attack on the body, some of us notify the body regarding the intruder. In order to fend off the invaders, several of us create chemicals, while the remainder of us round up and eliminate the intruders. Well, that’s the main stuff to know. It’s been nice meeting you, It's time for you to go meet my friend!
- Hello, we are platelets, not pallets or plates, platelets. We are the blood clots that are inside your blood vessels. We are little circular cells that help create a brief patch in an injury, which stops the bleeding. Technically, we are the cells that "help your blood harden" when you get cut and start bleeding. That is the biggest part of our job! It was a pleasure meeting you! Good bye!
