  • Blood is a specialized connective tissue consisting of plasma and blood cells.
  • Blood cells include erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes
  • Plasma is the liquid portion of blood that transports substances.
  • Match the type of blood cell with its description:
    Erythrocytes ↔️ Red blood cells, carry oxygen
    Leukocytes ↔️ White blood cells, part of immune system
    Thrombocytes ↔️ Platelets, involved in blood clotting
  • Erythrocytes are red blood cells that carry oxygen.
  • Platelets are involved in blood clotting
  • What percentage of blood volume does plasma constitute?
    55%
  • Water in plasma acts as a solvent for dissolving other substances.
  • Match the structure of erythrocytes with its function:
    Biconcave shape ↔️ Increases surface area for oxygen diffusion
    Lack of nucleus ↔️ Maximizes space for hemoglobin molecules
  • How many oxygen molecules can each hemoglobin molecule carry?
    Four
  • Order the types of leukocytes based on their primary function:
    1️⃣ Neutrophils: Phagocytosis of bacteria
    2️⃣ Eosinophils: Defense against parasites
    3️⃣ Basophils: Release histamine during inflammation
    4️⃣ Lymphocytes: Cellular and humoral immunity
    5️⃣ Monocytes: Differentiate into macrophages for phagocytosis
  • Lymphocytes are involved in cellular and humoral immunity
  • Which function of blood involves defense against pathogens?
    Immunity
  • What is the structure of the nucleus in basophils?
    Irregularly lobed
  • Basophils release histamine during inflammation.
  • Lymphocytes have a large round nucleus but no granules
  • Match the lymphocyte type with its immunity function:
    Cellular immunity ↔️ Destroys infected cells
    Humoral immunity ↔️ Produces antibodies
  • Steps of macrophage formation from monocytes:
    1️⃣ Monocyte circulates in blood
    2️⃣ Monocyte migrates to tissue
    3️⃣ Monocyte differentiates into macrophage
    4️⃣ Macrophage performs phagocytosis
  • What are the three types of blood cells in blood?
    Erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes
  • The transport function of blood involves carrying gases, nutrients, hormones, and waste
  • Blood regulates pH, temperature, and fluid balance in the body.
  • Match the blood component with its type and description:
    Plasma ↔️ Liquid, transports substances
    Erythrocytes ↔️ Blood cell, carries oxygen
    Leukocytes ↔️ Blood cell, immune system
    Thrombocytes ↔️ Blood cell, blood clotting
  • What percentage of blood volume does plasma make up?
    55%
  • Plasma proteins are involved in the transport of lipids, hormones, and immune response
  • Electrolytes in plasma maintain osmotic pressure and pH balance.
  • What is the primary function of red blood cells?
    Transporting oxygen
  • The biconcave shape of red blood cells increases surface area for oxygen diffusion
  • Each red blood cell contains approximately 270 million hemoglobin molecules.
  • What are the two categories of white blood cells?
    Granulocytes and agranulocytes
  • Neutrophils phagocytose bacteria and fungi
  • Eosinophils defend against parasites and allergic reactions.
  • What is the primary function of white blood cells (leukocytes)?
    Defense against pathogens
  • Leukocytes are also known as white blood cells.
  • Neutrophils have a multilobed nucleus and granules, and their primary function is the phagocytosis of bacteria and fungi
  • What type of nucleus do eosinophils have?
    Bilobed
  • Basophils release histamine during inflammation.
  • What are the two categories of leukocytes?
    Granulocytes and agranulocytes
  • Lymphocytes have a large round nucleus and no granules
  • What is the shape of a monocyte's nucleus?
    Kidney-shaped
  • All types of leukocytes work together to protect the body against infections.
