Protein threads that form the basis of a blood clot
-
Myeloblast(N)
-
Neutropenia(O)
-
Fibrin(H)
-
Eosinophil(F)
-
Macrophage(L)
Correct Answer
A. Fibrin(H)Explanation
Fibrin is a protein that plays a crucial role in the formation of blood clots. When there is an injury or damage to blood vessels, fibrinogen, another protein, is converted into fibrin through a series of enzymatic reactions. Fibrin forms a mesh-like structure, trapping platelets and red blood cells to form a clot, preventing excessive bleeding. This clotting process is essential for wound healing and preventing blood loss. Therefore, fibrin is the correct answer as it is directly related to the formation of blood clots.Rate this question:

Proteins made by lymphocytes in response to antigens in the blood: _____________
Correct Answer
immunoglobulin antibodiesExplanation
Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cells that play a crucial role in the immune response. When antigens (foreign substances) enter the bloodstream, lymphocytes produce proteins called immunoglobulin antibodies to recognize and neutralize these antigens. These antibodies are specialized molecules that bind to specific antigens, marking them for destruction by other immune cells. Therefore, immunoglobulin antibodies are the proteins made by lymphocytes in response to antigens in the blood.Rate this question:
