Ch 10 Blood Quiz Review

The primary function of erythrocytes is the transport of ​ (a)   and ​ (b)  

• oxygen

• carbon dioxide

• nitrogen

• hydrogen

• glucose

• calcium

Answer explanation

Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, primarily transport oxygen from the lungs to tissues and carbon dioxide from tissues back to the lungs for exhalation. Thus, the correct answers are oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Plasma is composed of 90% ​ (a)   , 7% ​ (b)   , and 3% ​ (c)   .

• water

• other dissolved solutes

• plasma proteins

• oxygen

• carbon dioxide

Answer explanation

Plasma consists of 90% water, which serves as a solvent, 7% plasma proteins that play crucial roles in maintaining osmotic pressure and transporting substances, and 3% other dissolved solutes like electrolytes and nutrients.

The process of red blood cell formation is called ______________.

Answer explanation

The process of red blood cell formation is called erythropoiesis. This term specifically refers to the production of erythrocytes, which are essential for transporting oxygen in the blood.

______________ are white blood cells that function in innate immunity and help remove dead cells and debris.

Answer explanation

Leukocytes are the correct answer as they are white blood cells involved in innate immunity, playing a crucial role in removing dead cells and debris from the body.

Type AB blood has both ______________ and ______________ antigens but does not produce any antibodies.

• A

• B

• O

• i

• Rh

Answer explanation

Type AB blood has both A and B antigens on the surface of red blood cells, which is why it is classified as AB. It does not produce antibodies against A or B antigens, allowing it to accept blood from any type.
