which cellular component of the blood? - answer✔An erythrocyte is a nonnucleated cytoplasmic
disk that contains hemoglobin. A lymphocyte is a mononuclear immunocyte. Eosinophils and

A nurse is talking about an organ capable of releasing up to 200 ml of blood into the circulation
to restore blood volume in case of hemorrhage. Which organ is the nurse describing? -
answer✔Spleen
The venous sinuses (and the red pulp) can store more than 300 ml of blood. Sudden reductions in
blood pressure cause the sympathetic nervous system to stimulate constriction of the sinuses and
expel as much as 200 ml of blood into the venous circulation, helping to restore blood volume or
pressure in the circulation and increasing the hematocrit by as much as 4%. The liver has
hematologic function, especially during fetal development, but it does not store blood in a
reservoir. The pancreas releases hormones and digestive enzymes. Bone marrow is a primary
lymphoid organ that does not store blood in a reservoir.
