Blood & Lymphatic System

The formed elements of the blood include

• plasma

• red blood cells and white blood cells and platelets

• platelets only

• albumins, globulins and fibrinogens

What is the primary function of red blood cells?

• They are the first line of defense for immune responses

• They keep us alive

• They transport bilirubin to the liver

• They transport respiratory gases like CO2 and O2

What is the function of leukocytes?

• They transport respiratory gases like CO2 and O2

• They transport bilirubin to the liver

• They keep us alive

• They are the first line of defense for immune responses

What is the difference between granulocytes and agranulocytes?

• granulocytes have granules, agranulocytes do not

• granulocytes are red blood cells, agranulocytes are white blood cells

• granulocytes transport oxygen, agranuloctyes defend against diseases

• granulocytes are in the muscles, agranulocytes are in the bladder

Neutrophils are considered to be…

• Infection eaters

• Bacteria slayers

• guardians of health

• Protectors of the lymph nodes

Eosinophils are cells that

• are chemically attracted to the site of inflammation

• have digestive enzymes that attack against parasitic worms or other things too large

• acts like a vasodilator and attracts other cells to that site

• Facilitate the flow of oxygen through the cells

Monocytes are cells that

• are chemically attracted to the site of inflammation

• are crucial in defense against viruses, parasites and chronic infections

• acts like a vasodilator and attracts other cells to that site

• Facilitate the flow of oxygen through the cells

What is the difference between a B lymphocyte and a T lymphocyte?

• T cells function in the immune response by acting directly against virus infected cells & tumor cells, B cells give rise to plasma cells which produce antibodies

• B cells function in the immune response by acting directly against virus infected cells & tumor cells, T cells give rise to plasma cells which produce antibodies

• T cells are crucial in defense against viruses, parasites and chronic infections, B cells facilitate the flow of oxygen through the cells

• B cells are crucial in defense against viruses, parasites and chronic infections, T cells facilitate the flow of oxygen through the cells

What are the cells that are granulocytes?

• erythrocytes

• lymphocytes and monocytes

• eosinophils and monocytes

• neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils

What are the agranulocytes?

• platelets

• eosinophils and neutrophils

• lymphocytes and monocytes

• basophils and neutrophils
