The formed components of blood include erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and platelets. Erythropoietin and hemoglobin are not formed components of blood, but rather a hormone produced by the kidneys to stimulate red blood cell production and a protein found in red blood cells that transports oxygen, respectively.
