Questions With Correct Detailed
Answers.
Functions of the blood - ANSWER- Transportation (gasses, nutrients)
Regulation (pH, fluid)
Protection (disease, blood loss)
Types of substances transported in the blood - ANSWER- Nutrients, water, vitamins,
electrolytes
pH of the blood - ANSWER- 7.4
Liquid portion of the blood - ANSWER- Plasma
Components of plasma - ANSWER- Water (91%), proteins (albumin, clotting factors,
antibodies, complement/enzymes)
The cellular, non-liquid portion of the blood - ANSWER- Formed elements
Where are formed elements made - ANSWER- Red boe marrow
Erythrocytes - ANSWER- Red blood cells
Most numerous cells in the blood - ANSWER- Erythrocytes, red blood cells
Hemoglobin - ANSWER- Binds to oxygen for transport, more oxygen the more red
blood is
Two main components of blood - ANSWER- Plasma and formed elements
What type of cell gives rise to all blood cells - ANSWER- Hematopoietic stem cells
Leukocytes - ANSWER- White blood cells; clear the body of foreign material and
pathogens
Neutrophil - ANSWER- Phagocytosis, engulf foreign matter
, Lymphocyte - ANSWER- Immunity (T and B cells)
Thrombocytes - ANSWER- Platelets; smallest formed element, not actual cells, clotting
Hemostasis - ANSWER- Prevent blood loss when blood vessel ruptures; form platelet
plug and blood clot
