Skull Diagram Style Blood Components and Flow Infographic

Biological diagram infographic titled "Blood Components and Flow" centered on a clean labeled pathway diagram showing a stylized blood sample flow from whole blood input to separated and identified components output, with input → output markers. Main composition: a central editorial scientific illustration of a blood vessel cross-section leading to a collection tube, then a clear flow separation into major blood components, arranged left-to-right as a biological pathway for university undergraduate teaching. Place 7 labeled components around the central diagram with thin leader lines; each label must include a short heading in English and a one-line function description in English. Labels to render exactly as: "Whole Blood" — "Fluid connective tissue containing cells suspended in plasma."; "Plasma" — "Liquid matrix that transports proteins, nutrients, hormones, and wastes."; "Red Blood Cells" — "Erythrocytes carry oxygen and help transport carbon dioxide."; "White Blood Cells" — "Leukocytes provide immune defense against pathogens and foreign material."; "Platelets" — "Thrombocytes support blood clotting and vessel repair."; "Buffy Coat" — "Thin layer containing most leukocytes and platelets after centrifugation."; "Hematocrit" — "Percentage of blood volume occupied by erythrocytes." Show directional arrows along the pathway: "Whole Blood" input on the left, separation process in the center, component outputs on the right. Include a small legend or visual cue for centrifugation-based separation without adding extra unlabeled complexity. Ensure biologically accurate proportions: plasma as the largest fraction, buffy coat as a very thin layer, erythrocytes as the packed lower fraction; depict red blood cells as biconcave discs, white blood cells as nucleated immune cells, and platelets as small cell fragments. Visual style: vintage 1900s scientific plate, natural anatomy tones palette, muted cream background, deep carmine red, warm ivory, sepia ink, dusty blue-gray accents, restrained antiquarian shading, engraved textbook feel. Overall mood: scholarly, refined, educationally tasteful. Render with medical-textbook clarity, editorial scientific illustration, vector-clean lines, no photographic textures. All labels sharp, readable, and precisely placed with balanced spacing around the diagram. No graphic medical gore, no real patient photos, no surgical blood, no cruelty imagery, no watermarks. All text MUST be written in English (array). Every heading, label, caption, legend and metric name in the image must be in English — not English. Spell each English word correctly using English characters and diacritics. Numbers stay as digits, no graphic gore, no real patient photos, no watermarks No graphic medical gore, no real patient photographs, no surgical blood. For human anatomy, keep illustrations educationally tasteful. For animal anatomy, no cruelty imagery. Scientifically accurate labeling and proportions.
