Blood is a tissue that carries oxygen, fights infection, and seals wounds. An erythrocyte, or red cell, does the carrying, while a leukocyte, or white cell, defends against invaders using an antibody. A platelet triggers clotting to stop a leak. All of them are made in bone marrow, and a shortage of red cells is called anemia. Before a transfusion, typing matches a donor to the patient. This word puzzle gathers eleven terms.
