What is not a function of blood?

• Transports gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide), fuels and minerals around the body

• Protects against dehydration through supplying cells with water

• Maintains homeostasis

• Produced in the bone marrow

Select the statement below which best describes the protein haemoglobin

• Found in red blood cells

• Component of blood cells which allows oxygen to be transported around the body

• Component of red blood cells which allows oxygen to be transported around the body

• Component of red blood cells which allows oxygen to be transported around the body for energy production and the removal of carbon dioxide

What is the correct order of blood vessels that blood will flow through after being pumped out of the heart?

• Veins, Venules, Capillaries, Arteriole, Artery

• Artery, Capillaries, Veins

• Veins, Capillaries, Arteries

• Artery, Arteriole, Capillaries, Venules, Veins

Which statement regarding Arteries is incorrect

• Arteries carry blood at high speeds and pressures

• Arteries have thick, muscular walls

• Arteries carry blood away from the heart

• All arteries carry oxygenated blood

Which statement regarding Veins is correct?

• Carry blood from the heart towards the body tissues

• Always carry deoxygenated blood

• Contain valves which prevent black flow

• Have thick, muscular walls

Which statement correctly describes deoxygenated blood.

• Blood containing no oxygen, only carbon dioxide

• Blood containing more carbon dioxide than oxygen.

• Blood containing no carbon dioxide, only oxygen.

• Blood containing more oxygen than carbon dioxide.

Venous Pooling is a term used to describe the accumulation of blood in the veins. What physiological and structural features are present in veins that prevent venous pooling.

• Valves

• Valves and muscles contracting around veins (skeletal muscle pump)
