- 1) What are the different functions of blood?arrow_forwardPlatelets have all of the following functions except:- a. coagulation. b. plugging broken blood vessels. c. stimulating vasoconstriction. d. transporting oxygen. e. recruiting neutrophilsarrow_forwardSeveral years ago, the deaths of several airline travelers led to the warning about “economic-class syndrome.” The idea is that economic-class passengers do not have as much leg room as passengers in more expensive seats, so they are more likely to sit essentially motionless for long periods of flights-conditions that may allow blood to pool and clots to form in the legs. This condition is called deep-vein thrombosis, or DVT. Given what you know about blood flow in the veins, explain why periodically getting up and moving around in a plane’s cabin during a long flight may lower the risk that a cloth will form.arrow_forward
- IV. The Formation of Red Blood Cells The body must constantly produce new red blood cells to maintain homeostasis. Demonstrate your understanding of the life cycle of red blood cells by placing the following events in the proper sequence. A. An immature form of an erythrocyte, called a reticulocyte, is released into the circulation. B. EPO stimulates stem cells in red bone marrow to begin creating new erythrocytes. _C. After one to two days, the reticulocyte becomes a mature erythrocyte. _D. The kidneys detect the declining levels of oxygen and respond by secreting a hormone called erythropoietin (EPO). E. As the number of RBCS increases, oxygen levels rise. Less EPO is produced, and RBC production declines. F. As damaged RBCS are removed from circulation, oxygen levels fall.arrow_forwardIn the adult, most erythropoietin (EPO) is secreted from cells in the: A. liver B. kidneys C. red bone marrowarrow_forwardThe function of red blood cells is to Select one: A. defend the body against infectious organisms. B. carry oxygen from the cells to the lungs. C. carry carbon dioxide from the lungs to the body's cells. D. carry oxygen to the cells and then carry away carbon dioxide. E. carry nutrients from the digestive system to the body's cells.arrow_forward
