This is a List of human blood components and their concentrations.
Blood has many constituents and these will vary depending on factors such as age, state of health, diet and other details. Conventionally, a range of two standard deviations from the mean for each component is considered normal.

“Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women’s issues.”
—Charlotte Bunch (b. 1944)
“The most perfect expression of human behavior is a string quartet.”
—Jeffrey Tate (b. 1943)
“If you strike a child, take care that you strike it in anger, even at the risk of maiming it for life. A blow in cold blood neither can nor should be forgiven.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Hence, a generative grammar must be a system of rules that can iterate to generate an indefinitely large number of structures. This system of rules can be analyzed into the three major components of a generative grammar: the syntactic, phonological, and semantic components.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
