A complete blood testing measures different components of blood, some of which are-

• White blood cells: these cells protect the body from infection. There are five types of WBCs- monocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. A CBC differential is another test that counts the number of each of these white blood cells.
• Red blood cells: the main function of these cells is to take oxygen from the lungs and deliver it to cells and tissues throughout the body. RBCs also bring back waste, such as carbon dioxide, to the lungs to be exhaled.
• Haemoglobin: haemoglobin is a two-way respiratory carrier that helps red blood cells carry oxygen and the return transport of carbon dioxide.
• Platelets: these cells help the body to form clots to prevent bleeding.
• Hematocrit: This test measures the percentage of an individual's blood made up of RBCs. The measurement depends on the number and size of the red blood cells.
