Where does hemopoiesis primarily occur after birth?
Liver
Spleen
Red bone marrow
Lymph nodes
Which organ releases erythropoietin to stimulate erythropoiesis?
Liver
Spleen
Kidneys
Heart
What stimulates the process of erythropoiesis in the body?
High oxygen levels
Low oxygen levels (hypoxia)
Increased white blood cell count
Excess nutrients in the blood
Which of the following blood components is primarily responsible for clot formation?
Red blood cells
White blood cells
Platelets
Plasma
What is the primary function of hemoglobin in red blood cells?
To fight infections
To transport oxygen and carbon dioxide
To regulate blood pH
To form blood clots
Which component of hemoglobin binds oxygen?
Alpha chains
Beta chains
Heme group
Globin protein
Why do mature red blood cells lack mitochondria?
To create more space for hemoglobin.
To reduce energy consumption in blood circulation.
To prevent the use of oxygen they transport.
To speed up the diffusion of gases.
What is the normal platelet count range in human blood?
50,000–100,000/μL
150,000–400,000/μL
500,000–700,000/μL

Monocytes
Which white blood cell type releases histamine and intensifies inflammatory responses?
Neutrophils
Eosinophils
Basophils
Lymphocytes
Which white blood cell type is responsible for producing antibodies?
Neutrophils
T-lymphocytes
B-lymphocytes
Monocytes
How does a high neutrophil count help the body?
Fights bacterial infections
Reduces allergic reactions
Combats parasitic worms
Increases oxygen transport
What distinguishes lymphocytes from other types of white blood cells?
They lack a nucleus.
They perform phagocytosis.
They can live for years and are involved in specific immunity.
They release heparin to combat inflammation.
What is the average lifespan of a red blood cell (RBC)?

5–6 liters
6–7 liters
What is the pH of blood under normal conditions?
6.8
7.0
7.4
8.0
How does blood help regulate body temperature?
By transporting hormones from endocrine glands
Through heat absorption and variable flow rates in the skin
By producing heat in the mitochondria of RBCs
By increasing white blood cell activity during fevers
In the ABO blood group system, what happens if blood type A is transfused into a blood type B recipient?
No reaction will occur.
The recipient’s antibodies will attack the donor’s A antigens.
The donor's antibodies will attack the recipient’s B antigens.
The blood types are compatible.
In the Rh blood group system, what does Rh-positive blood indicate?
Presence of Rh antibodies
Presence of Rh antigens on RBCs
Lack of Rh antigens on RBCs
Absence of antigens and antibodies
Which diagnostic test measures the rate of erythropoiesis?
Complete blood count
Reticulocyte count
Bone marrow biopsy
Platelet count
