The structure and shape of each type of human cell depends on what function it will perform in the body. For example, red blood cells (RBCs) are very small, flat discs, which allows them to easily fit through narrow capillaries and around sharp corners in the circulatory system to deliver oxygen throughout the body.
The elongated shape of muscle cells allows the contraction proteins to line up in an overlapping pattern that makes muscle flexing possible.
And human sperm cells’ structures allow them to “swim” long distances to reach an egg for fertilization

As
we know our blood has four main components which are plasma, red
blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. That is why a
hemophiliac must receive regular injections of platelets to stay
alive. This is done by injecting into their bloodstream human plasma
which contains many proteins, glucose, clotting factors,
electrolytes, hormones, and carbon dioxide.

The best explanation for what do arteries, veins, and capillaries do is that they A - arteries normally carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, veins on the other hand generally carry oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart. Capillaries, however, deliver blood to individual cells.
Nonspecific defenses include physical and chemical barriers, the inflammatory response, and interferons. Physical barriers include the intact skin and mucous membranes. These barriers are aided by various antimicrobial chemicals in tissue and fluids.
Nonspecific defenses include anatomic barriers, inhibitors, phagocytosis, fever, inflammation, and IFN. Specific defenses include antibody and cell-mediated immunity.
