Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues.
True
Platelets help the blood to clot
Steps in the oxygen transport process by red blood cells
1️⃣ Blood passes through the lungs
2️⃣ Hemoglobin binds to oxygen
3️⃣ Oxyhemoglobin is formed
4️⃣ Blood reaches tissues in need of oxygen
5️⃣ Oxygen is released from hemoglobin
White blood cells defend the body against infection by identifying and destroying pathogens.
True
Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues
Neutrophils engulf and destroy bacteria and fungi
Blood is a specialized bodily fluid that circulates throughout the body, transporting essential substances such as oxygen, nutrients, and waste products
White blood cells (leukocytes) defend the body against infection and disease
What protein in red blood cells binds to oxygen?
Hemoglobin
White blood cells are part of the immune system.
True
Blood is a specialized bodily fluid that circulates throughout the body, transporting essential substances such as oxygen, nutrients, and waste
White blood cells defend the body against infection and disease
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which binds oxygen.
True
Plasma is the liquid component of blood that transports blood cells and dissolved substances.
True
Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues
Platelets help prevent excessive bleeding by forming a clot
Oxyhemoglobin is formed when oxygen binds to hemoglobin in the lungs.
True
Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to body tissues.
True
What is the primary function of red blood cells (erythrocytes)?
Carry oxygen
Plasma is the liquid component of blood that transports cells and dissolved substances.
True
When blood passes through the lungs, hemoglobin binds to oxygen to form oxyhemoglobin
Which type of leukocyte engulfs and destroys bacteria and fungi?
Neutrophils
Steps in the blood clotting process
1️⃣ Adhesion: Platelets stick to the damaged vessel wall
2️⃣ Activation: Platelets release substances
3️⃣ Aggregation: Platelets cluster together
4️⃣ Coagulation: Fibrin strands solidify the clot
Plasma is the clear, yellowish liquid component of blood that carries blood cells, nutrients, and waste products
Match the leukocyte type with its function:
Neutrophils ↔️ Engulf and destroy bacteria
Lymphocytes ↔️ Provide specific immunity
Monocytes ↔️ Engulf pathogens as macrophages
Eosinophils ↔️ Combat parasitic infections
What substance forms a mesh to solidify a blood clot?
