blood in the pulmonary veins is _______. these vessels are indicated with _______ coloring in
anatomical illustrations - ANSW✔️oxygenated, red
the blood vessel type bringing blood from the heart to the lungs is a(n) - ANSW✔️artery
the blood vessel type bringing oxygen and nutrients to the tissues is the - ANSW✔️artery
the blood vessel type bringing blood from the lungs to the heart is a(n) - ANSW✔️vein
the blood vessel type removing carbon dioxide and wastes from the tissues is the - ANSW✔️vein
the blood vessel type allowing exchange of respiratory gases in the lungs is the - ANSW✔️capillary
which of the following is a regulatory function of blood? - ANSW✔️maintenance of normal pH in body
tissues
which of the following is a protective function of blood? - ANSW✔️prevention of blood loss
which is NOT a function of blood? - ANSW✔️synthesis of hormones
,blood can allow more heat loss by - ANSW✔️increasing blood flow through the skin
fluid found between cells is called ______ and it contains _____ protein than plasma -
ANSW✔️interstitial fluid, less
you obtain a tube of blood from a patient. no anticoagulants are in the tube, so the blood clots. the tube
is centrifuged and you remove the liquid from atop the clot and cells. the liquid thus obtained is called -
ANSW✔️serum
which of the following is true about blood serum? - ANSW✔️it is about 30% water
together, leukocytes and platelets comprise approximately ______% of total blood volume - ANSW✔️1
the liquid portion of your blood flowing in your blood vessels right now is - ANSW✔️plasma
you obtain a tube of blood from a patient. heparin anticoagulant is in the tube, so the blood does not
clot. the tube is centrifuged and you remove the liquid from atop the cells. the liquid thus obtained is
called - ANSW✔️plasma
the most abundant plasma protein is - ANSW✔️albumin
which is NOT found in plasma? - ANSW✔️hemoglobin
the buffy coat of centrifuged blood consists mostly of - ANSW✔️white blood cells and platelets
red blood cells do not consume any of the oxygen they transport because they - ANSW✔️do not have
mitochondria
each hemoglobin molecule can carry _____ oxygen molecules on the _____ of heme(s). - ANSW✔️4,
iron
, after you centrifuge a tube of anticoagulated blood, which is found at the bottom of the tube? -
ANSW✔️erythrocytes
formed elements found in the blood that are about 7-8 um in diameter with no nuclei and a biconcave
shape are - ANSW✔️erythrocytes
erythrocyte shape can be described as - ANSW✔️biconcave disks
which carries oxygen in erythrocytes? - ANSW✔️hemoglobin
the function of hemoglobin is to - ANSW✔️carry oxygen
all blood cells originate from - ANSW✔️hemocytoblasts
the process of forming new red blood cells is called - ANSW✔️erythropoiesis
which cell in circulating blood indicates rapid erythropoiesis? - ANSW✔️reticulocyte
which blood protein regulates osmotic pressure by pulling water into the blood from tissues? this
protein also transports steroid hormones in the blood - ANSW✔️albumin
which of the following is a precursor fo a basophil? - ANSW✔️leukocytes
which of the following is a precursor fo a neutrophil? - ANSW✔️myeloblast
jane has a hemoglobin measurement of 11g/100 ml blood. this is - ANSW✔️abnormally low
jane has a reticulocyte count of 5%. this is - ANSW✔️above normal
