    • Red blood cells are disc-shaped cells containing hemoglobin
    • What type of nutrients does plasma transport to body tissues?
      Glucose and amino acids
    • White blood cells defend the body against infections and foreign substances
    • Steps in carbon dioxide transport by plasma
      1️⃣ Carbon dioxide is produced in body tissues
      2️⃣ Carbon dioxide enters plasma
      3️⃣ Plasma transports carbon dioxide to the lungs
      4️⃣ Carbon dioxide is removed from the body
    • Which type of white blood cell mediates antibody production?
      Lymphocytes
    • What is the liquid component of blood called?
      Plasma
    • Which blood component aids in blood clotting?
      Platelets
    • Match the blood cell type with its function:
      Red blood cells ↔️ Oxygen transport
      White blood cells ↔️ Immune defense
      Platelets ↔️ Blood clotting
    • Steps in carbon dioxide transport by plasma:
      1️⃣ Carbon dioxide produced in tissues
      2️⃣ Transported by plasma
      3️⃣ Carried to lungs
      4️⃣ Carbon dioxide removed during exhalation
    • Match the type of white blood cell with its function:
      Neutrophils ↔️ Phagocytize bacteria
      Lymphocytes ↔️ Antibody production
      Monocytes ↔️ Develop into macrophages
      Eosinophils ↔️ Combat parasites
    • Platelets aid in blood clotting to prevent excessive bleeding.
      True
    • What is the primary solvent in blood plasma?
      Water
    • What are the four main components of blood?
      Plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets
    • Plasma is the liquid component of blood that carries essential substances
    • Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to body tissues
      True
    • What is the shape of red blood cells?
      Disc-shaped
    • Neutrophils phagocytize bacteria and fungi
    • What do eosinophils combat in the body?
      Parasites
    • White blood cells defend the body against infections.

      True
    • What is the primary function of red blood cells?
      Carry oxygen
    • Which nutrients are transported by plasma to body tissues?
      Glucose and amino acids
    • White blood cells identify and neutralize pathogens in the body.
      True
    • What is the shape of platelets?
      Irregular
    • What is the primary function of white blood cells?
      Defend against infections
    • What waste product does plasma remove from cells for excretion?
      Urea
    • What is the liquid component of blood called?
      Plasma
    • Hemoglobin in red blood cells allows them to carry oxygen efficiently

      True
    • Monocytes develop into macrophages that engulf pathogens and debris
      True
    • Red blood cells are disc-shaped cells containing hemoglobin
    • Plasma transports blood cells, hormones, nutrients, and waste
    • Plasma transports blood cells like red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets
    • What protein in red blood cells allows them to carry oxygen?
      Hemoglobin
    • Basophils release histamine and heparin during inflammatory responses
    • Steps in blood clotting by platelets:
      1️⃣ Blood vessel is damaged
      2️⃣ Platelets are activated
      3️⃣ Chemicals are released
      4️⃣ Platelets stick together to form a plug
      5️⃣ Bleeding stops
    • Water in blood plasma transports nutrients and waste
    • Which gases in blood plasma facilitate respiration?
      Oxygen and carbon dioxide
    • Plasma proteins maintain osmotic balance in blood.

      True
