Exploring the River of Life: Blood Circulation

The video introduces the concept of blood circulation, focusing on the components of blood: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It explains the role of red blood cells in oxygen transport and the symptoms of anemia. The video also covers the function of white blood cells in fighting infections and the potential for leukemia. Finally, it describes how platelets help in blood clotting during injuries.
