What are the main components of blood?

• Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma.

• Hemoglobin, myoglobin, and fibrinogen.

• Cholesterol, glucose, and triglycerides.

• Neurons, synapses, and neurotransmitters.

How do white blood cells contribute to the immune response?

• By producing hormones that regulate blood pressure.

• By identifying and destroying pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, and by producing antibodies.

• By transporting oxygen throughout the body.

• By digesting food in the stomach.

What is the primary function of lymph in the human body?

• To transport oxygen to the body's cells.

• To help in the removal of waste and toxins from bodily tissues and to support the immune system.

• To produce red blood cells in the bone marrow.

• To facilitate the absorption of nutrients in the digestive system.

What is the relationship between the circulatory system and the lymphatic system?

• The lymphatic system returns excess tissue fluid to the bloodstream and helps in the removal of waste products from the circulatory system.

• The lymphatic system is responsible for oxygen transport in the body.

• The lymphatic system only functions to transport nutrients to the cells.

• The lymphatic system has no connection with the circulatory system.

What is the role of platelets in the blood?

• To aid in blood clotting and prevent excessive bleeding.

• To transport oxygen throughout the body.

• To fight infections and diseases.

• To regulate body temperature.

What is the function of lymph nodes in the lymphatic system?

• To produce red blood cells and transport oxygen throughout the body.

• To filter lymph fluid and trap bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances, helping to protect the body from infection.

• To store excess fat and provide energy during fasting.

• To regulate body temperature and maintain homeostasis.

What is the primary function of blood in the human body?

• To transport oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body.

• To regulate body temperature and pH levels.

• To produce hormones and enzymes for digestion.

• To store energy in the form of fat.

What are the two main fluid systems in the human body?

• Blood and lymph

• Nervous and endocrine

• Digestive and respiratory

• Muscular and skeletal

How does the lymphatic system support the immune system?

• By transporting nutrients to the cells and tissues.

• By producing red blood cells in the bone marrow.

• By transporting white blood cells and filtering out harmful substances through lymph nodes.

• By absorbing oxygen from the bloodstream.
