Platelets
Plasma
Hemoglobin

3. Describe the role of plasma in the blood.

4. List the types of white blood cells and provide one function for each type.

Neutrophils

Lymphocytes

Monocytes

Eosinophils

Your answers will be evaluated by AI for key concepts, not exact wording. Focus on main ideas.

Plasma

comprehension and Application

6. In a situation where someone is dehydrated, how might their blood composition change? (Select all that apply) (multiple choice)

Increased concentration of red blood cells
Decreased concentration of white blood cells
Decreased plasma volume
Increased plasma volume

7. How might the function of white blood cells be compromised in an individual with a weakened immune system? Provide examples.

8. How does blood help regulate body temperature? (Select all that apply) (multiple choice)

By adjusting blood flow to the skin
By distributing hormones that regulate metabolism
By clotting to prevent heat loss

Red blood cells
White blood cells
Platelets
Plasma

15. Evaluate the potential impacts of a new drug that increases white blood cell production. What could be the benefits and risks? (Select all that apply) (multiple choice)

Improved recovery from infections
Increased risk of autoimmune diseases
Potential for allergic reactions
Enhanced immune response
