Hematological (Blood Forming)

The blood cells (erythrocytes, granulocytes, and platelets) and the tissues that form them ((bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes) make up the hematological system. Blood carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells throughout the body. Also, it keeps the blood vessels open, helps the immunological system function (see immunological below), and removes waste and carbon dioxide from body cells.
