Hematology is the study of blood and the disorders related to it. Human blood consists of blood cells and plasma. Blood has many functions, including transporting oxygen and nutrients to tissues, removing waste materials (e.g., carbon dioxide, urea), regulating body temperature, and carrying cells responsible for coagulation and immune response.
