A blood cell is any cell of any type normally found in blood. In mammals, these fall into three general categories: *red blood cells, whose main purpose is the transport of oxygen*white blood cells, which act as immune cells and fight infection*Platelets, which are actually fragments of the large bone marrow cells known as megakaryocytes and are important in blood clotting

Blood transfusion is the taking of blood or blood-based products from one individual and inserting them into the circulatory system of another. It can be considered a form of organ transplant. Blood transfusions may treat medical conditions, such as massive blood loss due to trauma, surgery, shock and where the red cell producing mechanism (or some other normal and essential component) fails (see blood diseases).
