    • D. 

      PLATELET PLUG FORMATION, VASCULAR SPASM, CLOTTING

    Correct Answer
    D. PLATELET PLUG FORMATION, VASCULAR SPASM, CLOTTING
    Explanation
    Platelet plug formation, vascular spasm, and clotting are all methods that provide hemostasis. Platelet plug formation involves platelets sticking together to form a plug at the site of injury, which helps to stop bleeding. Vascular spasm is the contraction of blood vessels in response to injury, which helps to reduce blood flow to the area. Clotting, also known as coagulation, involves the formation of a blood clot to seal the damaged blood vessel and prevent further bleeding. Together, these three methods work to achieve hemostasis and prevent excessive bleeding.

    Correct Answer
    D. CLOT FORMATION
    Explanation
    This figure represents clot formation. Clot formation occurs when there is damage to a blood vessel, leading to the activation of platelets and the coagulation cascade. This process involves the formation of a fibrin mesh that traps red blood cells and platelets, forming a clot to stop bleeding. Clot formation is an essential physiological response to prevent excessive blood loss and promote wound healing.

      NO ANTIBODIES

    Correct Answer
    C. A & B
    Explanation
    A person with type O blood has both A and B antibodies in their plasma. This means that their immune system will react to both A and B antigens present on red blood cells. As a result, they can only receive blood transfusions from individuals with type O blood, as it does not have A or B antigens.

      O

    • D. 

      A & B

    Correct Answer
    B. B
    Explanation
    If a person's plasma has antibody A, it means that the person's immune system has produced antibodies against antigen A. Since the person's plasma has antibody A, it indicates that the person does not have antigen A on their red blood cells. Therefore, the person would have antigen B on their RBCs. This is because individuals with blood type B have antigen B on their red blood cells and produce antibodies against antigen A.

    Explanation
    The epicardium is the outermost layer of the heart and is responsible for protecting the heart from external damage. It is a thin layer made up of connective tissue and contains blood vessels, nerves, and fat. The epicardium also helps to lubricate the heart, allowing it to move and contract smoothly within the pericardial sac.

    Explanation
    Fibrous pericardium consists of inelastic dense irregular connective tissue. The fibrous pericardium is the tough outer layer of the pericardium that surrounds and protects the heart. It is composed of dense irregular connective tissue, which provides strength and support to the heart, preventing overstretching and maintaining the heart's shape. The inelastic nature of this tissue helps to maintain the position and stability of the heart within the thoracic cavity.

      PERICARDIAL (SEROUS) FLUID

    Correct Answer
    D. PERICARDIAL (SEROUS) FLUID
    Explanation
    Pericardial (serous) fluid is a clear fluid that fills the space between the layers of the pericardium, which is the protective sac surrounding the heart. This fluid acts as a lubricant, reducing the friction between the membranes of the heart as it beats and moves within the pericardium. By reducing friction, the pericardial fluid allows for smooth and efficient movement of the heart, preventing damage and ensuring proper functioning.
