blood-cells
Hemoglobin's home vessels
Blood cells are the microscopic components circulating in blood.
Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body; white blood cells fight infection; platelets enable clotting.
The term usually appears as two unhyphenated words: The lab tested her blood cells for abnormalities.
