This article discusses the corpuscular elements of blood - erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes, their structure, physiological characteristics, and main functions in detail. The role of erythrocytes in gas exchange, the importance of leukocytes in protecting the body, and the participation of thrombocytes in the blood clotting process are explained. In addition, information is provided about how quantitative and qualitative changes in these formed elements may lead to the development of various diseases in the body.
