BLOOD Facts
Blood flows everywhere
through out the human body.

the cells, supplying them with
oxygen and food.

cell fragments called platelets
that let blood clot where there
has been an injury.

350ml of blood can save as many as three lives.
Even with all of today’s technology, there is no
substitute of blood.

can not make an appeal
The act gives you a sense of satisfaction and binds
you to your society
Someone has to give blood
in order for someone to receive blood.
