Blood is a vital connective tissue composed of formed elements (about 45%) and plasma (about 55%), with a total volume of 4-6 liters in adults. Plasma, primarily made of water, contains proteins, nutrients, hormones, and waste products, while formed elements include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Blood functions in transportation, regulation of body temperature and pH, immune response, and clot formation to prevent excessive blood loss.
