In 100 mL of blood, what is the expected volume of plasma?
1. | 90 mL | 2. | 10 mL |
3. | 45 mL | 4. | 55 mL |
What is the percentage of proteins in plasma?
1. | 10% | 2. | 7% |
3. | 25% | 4. | 92% |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
1. | Plasma protein | – | 6 to 8 % |
2. | Formed elements | – | 55% of the blood |
3. | Hemoglobin | – | 12 to 16 gm in 100 ml of blood |
4. | Platelets | – | 150000 to 350000 mm-3 |
The colloid osmotic pressure in the human blood is largely due to:
1. | electrolytes | 2. | albumin |
3. | fibrinogen | 4. | globulins |
I: | Fibrinogens are needed for clotting or coagulation of blood. |
II: | Globulins, primarily, are involved in the defense mechanisms of the body. |
III: | The albumins help in osmotic balance. |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only I and III |
3. | Only II and III | 4. | I, II and III |
I: | lack both a nucleus and mitochondria organelles. |
II: | are much more common than leukocytes in the blood. |
III: | require dietary iron and vitamin B12 for normal production. |
IV: | have a circulating life span of about twelve months. |
I: | Red blood cells in humans have a nucleus. |
II: | Blood plasma contains fibrinogen which helps in clotting. |
Component (List I) | Function (List II) | ||
A. | Plasma | 1. | Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide |
B. | Red Blood Cells (RBCs) | 2. | Clot formation |
C. | White Blood Cells (WBCs) | 3. | Regulation of blood volume and pressure |
D. | Platelets | 4. | Defense against pathogens |
Erythrocytes in humans are destroyed mainly in:
1. | liver and spleen | 2. | heart and lungs |
3. | bone marrow | 4. | kidney |
The average life span of human red blood cells is:
1. | 10 days | 2. | 120 days |
3. | 21 days | 4. | three months |
