    The relatively clear liquid medium which carries the other cells of blood is called:

    • Lipid

    • Blood plasma

    • Antibody

    • Thrombocytes

    Correct Answer
    A. Blood plasma
    Explanation
    Blood plasma is the correct answer because it is the relatively clear liquid medium that carries the other cells of blood. It is the liquid component of blood that contains various substances such as water, electrolytes, proteins, hormones, and waste products. Plasma plays a crucial role in transporting nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body, maintaining blood pressure and pH balance, and supporting the immune system.

    Which of these components of blood has the job of carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide? - ProProfs

    Which of these components of blood has the job of carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide?

    • Basophils

    • Erythrocyte

    • Platelets

    • Lymphocyte

    Correct Answer
    A. Erythrocyte
    Explanation
    Erythrocytes, also known as red blood cells, are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and carrying carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs for elimination. These cells contain a protein called hemoglobin, which binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it in the tissues, while also picking up carbon dioxide and transporting it back to the lungs. Basophils, platelets, and lymphocytes have different functions in the immune system and blood clotting, but they do not play a direct role in carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide.

    Which one out of the following is not a white blood cell? - ProProfs

    Which one out of the following is not a white blood cell?

    • Leukocyte

    • Neutrophil

    • Basophil

    • Erythrocyte

    Correct Answer
    A. Erythrocyte
    Explanation
    Erythrocyte is not a white blood cell because it is a red blood cell. White blood cells, also known as leukocytes, are responsible for defending the body against infections and foreign substances. Neutrophils and basophils are types of white blood cells, while erythrocytes are involved in carrying oxygen to the body's tissues.

    Which of these components of blood has the job of clothing? - ProProfs

    Which of these components of blood has the job of clothing?

    • Platelets

    • Erythrocytes

    • Basophils

    • Monocytes

    Correct Answer
    A. Platelets
    Explanation
    Platelets are the components of blood that have the job of clothing. When there is an injury or damage to blood vessels, platelets form a clot to stop bleeding. They gather at the site of injury and release chemicals that help in the clotting process. This clotting mechanism is essential for the body to prevent excessive blood loss and promote wound healing. Erythrocytes, basophils, and monocytes have different functions in the blood, but they are not responsible for clotting.

    Which component of blood helps fight off allergic reactions?  - ProProfs

    Which component of blood helps fight off allergic reactions? 

    • Eosinophil

    • Platelets

    • Erythrocytes

    • Monocytes

    Correct Answer
    A. Eosinophil
    Explanation
    Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune response against allergic reactions. When an allergic reaction occurs, eosinophils are recruited to the site of inflammation and release chemicals that help to control the allergic response. These cells are specifically designed to target and destroy parasites, but they also play a role in modulating the immune response during allergic reactions. Therefore, eosinophils are the component of blood that helps fight off allergic reactions.

    Which of the following is not an example of a granulocyte? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is not an example of a granulocyte?

    • Eosinophil

    • Neutrophil

    • Monocyte

    • Basophil

    Correct Answer
    A. Monocyte
    Explanation
    A granulocyte is a type of white blood cell that contains granules in its cytoplasm. Eosinophil, neutrophil, and basophil are all examples of granulocytes. However, a monocyte is not a granulocyte. Monocytes are agranulocytes, which means they do not have granules in their cytoplasm. Instead, monocytes have a single kidney-shaped nucleus and are involved in the immune response by phagocytosing pathogens and presenting antigens to other immune cells.

    Which component of blood is the most prevalent? - ProProfs

    Which component of blood is the most prevalent?

    • Platelets

    • Leukocytes

    • Erythrocytes

    Correct Answer
    A. Erythrocytes
    Explanation
    Erythrocytes, also known as red blood cells, are the most prevalent component of blood. They make up about 45% of the total blood volume and are responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. Erythrocytes are disc-shaped cells that contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen and helps transport it from the lungs to the tissues. Their high numbers and unique structure allow erythrocytes to efficiently deliver oxygen to all parts of the body, making them the most abundant component of blood.

    Which of the following has the job of regulating the body's immune system? - ProProfs

    Which of the following has the job of regulating the body's immune system?

    • Lymphocyte

    • Basophil

    • Monocyte

    • Leukocyte

    Correct Answer
    A. Lymphocyte
    Explanation
    Lymphocytes have the job of regulating the body's immune system. They are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune response. Lymphocytes are responsible for recognizing and attacking foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses, as well as regulating the body's immune response to prevent it from attacking its own cells. They are involved in both the innate and adaptive immune systems, making them essential for maintaining a healthy immune system.

    Which component of blood is the least prevalent? - ProProfs

    Which component of blood is the least prevalent?

    • Leukocytes

    • Erythrocytes

    • Platelets

    Correct Answer
    A. Leukocytes
    Explanation
    Leukocytes, also known as white blood cells, are the least prevalent component of blood. They make up only a small fraction of the total blood volume. Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are the most abundant component and are responsible for carrying oxygen. Platelets, on the other hand, are involved in blood clotting. While all three components are important for maintaining overall health, leukocytes have the lowest presence in the bloodstream.
