The document instructs the reader to create a concept map showing the hierarchical relationship between the components of blood, including formed elements and major components of plasma, along with brief descriptions of their roles, average lifetimes, and normal counts or fractions. Plasma protein components should also include what creates each one.

1. Make a concept map that shows the hierarchical relationship between the components of blood.
Be sure to include all formed elements and every major component of the plasma, including
major molecules and ions. For each element include a very brief description of its role, the length
of its average lifetime, and its normal count or fraction. For each plasma protein component
include a brief description of its role, what creates it. For other molecules and ions just their role.
