Measuring Blood Volume: Essential for Solving CSI Cases

Blood, a vital body fluid comprised of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, serves important functions like oxygen transport and infection fighting. We learn that blood is never blue, the average volume in males and females, and interesting facts about blood-drinking animals. Understanding blood volume can help investigators determine the timing of a stabbing incident, providing crucial insights into the case.
