Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Blood is composed of blood cells, fluid; plasma, white blood cells, platelets, and red blood cells. Hemopoiesis is the process through which blood cells are formed from hematopoietic stem cells. Blood cells include erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelet.

What type(s) of blood cells is (are) described with each statement? Choose from erythrocytes, leukocytes, or platelets. a. This type of blood cell has no nucleus. b. This type of blood cell survives in the bloodstream for the longest period of time. c. This type of blood cell is a key element in the immune system. d. This type of blood cell carries hemoglobin. e. This type of blood cell contains the machinery needed for clot formation.
All are characteristics of erythrocytes (red blood cells) EXCEPT:
-makes up large percentage of total blood cells
-integral to inflammatory and immune responses
-high surface area to volume ratio due to biconcave disk shape
-lacking a nucleus or mitochondria
-involved with carrying oxygen to body cells

- Select all of the following that are functions of blood.arrow_forwardBlood clotting is a homeostatic response. When clotting is poor, even a slight injury to a blood vessel may lead to severe blood loss. When clotting is excessive, small blood vessels in critical places in the body can become clogged leading to clots. Excessive bleeding or excessive clotting both can be dangerous. – Describe the main stages in the formation of a blood clot and evaluate the importance of specific factors example platelets, vitamin K, air and blood proteins Injured tissue – exposure of endothelial cells Narrowing (constriction) of blood vessels Activity of platelets Activity of clotting factorsarrow_forwardGive a description on blood cells and platelets.arrow_forward
