White Blood Cells
By Brandi Waters 		  
1     Caption: Frog blood cells; the white blood cells are the round, dark ones in the center of the picture.

More than half of your blood is made up of a liquid called plasma. It is mostly water, but it is very important. Plasma helps your blood to flow.

One of these is white blood cells.
