01
Overview
Blood is a specialized body fluid that delivers necessary substances (oxygen and nutrients) to the cells and transports waste products away from those cells. It comprises plasma, red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes), each with distinct functions in oxygen transport, immune defense, and hemostasis. The analysis of blood components is crucial for diagnosing and treating a wide range of medical conditions.

02
Mechanism of action
Varies depending on the drug and blood component. Examples include: inhibition of coagulation cascade, inhibition of platelet aggregation, stimulation of red blood cell production, suppression of immune cell activity.
