Ho batho ba batona ba baholo ba tloaelehileng ho na le hoo e ka bang lilithara tse 5 (lilithara tse 4,75) tsa mali, tse entsoeng ka lilithara tse ka bang 3 (lilithara tse 2.85) tsa plasma le lilithara tse 2 (1.9 litres) tsa lisele.
Lisele tsa mali li fanyehiloe ka har'a plasma, e entsoeng ka metsi le lintho tse qhibilihisitsoeng, ho kopanyelletsa le li-hormone, li-antibodies, le li-enzyme tse isoang liseleng, le litšila tsa cellular tse isoa matšoafong le liphio.
Lisele tse kholo tsa mali li khetholloa e le lisele tse khubelu (erythrocyte), lisele tse tšoeu (leukocyte), le liplatelete (thrombocyte).
Lisele tse khubelu ke ’mele e pshatlehileng, e chitja, e khopameng e nang le hemoglobin, k’hemik’hale e rarahaneng e tsamaisang oksijene le carbon dioxide.
