What is the main function of blood circulation in the body?

What is the term used for the process of blood cell formation in the bone marrow?

Which type of blood cells are important components of the innate defenses against infection?

Which type of blood cells have a single nucleus segmented into multiple lobes and assume variable shapes?

What is the term used specifically for neutrophils as they are the commonest granulocyte?

Which type of blood cells undertake defense and immune functions mainly in the tissues, not in the circulating blood?

Which type of white blood cells carry surface proteins that can bind to receptors on the endothelial cells of blood vessels?

Which type of white blood cells release multiple important proinflammatory chemical signals and regulators contributing to the overall inflammatory process?

Which type of white blood cells have a short ‘one-shot’ functional life, dying in the tissues and not reentering the blood?

What are granulocytes also referred to as due to their origin from bone marrow?

What is the approximate percentage composition of protein in the plasma of blood?

Which type of blood cells are mainly responsible for defense and immune functions in the tissues?

What is the term used for the process of blood cell formation in the bone marrow?

Which component exerts a water-binding effect known as colloidal osmotic pressure in the blood?

Which type of blood cells are specialized in plugging small defects in blood vessel walls and helping activate the blood-clotting cascade?

Which type of white blood cells primarily undertake defense and immune functions in the tissues rather than in the circulating blood?

Which type of white blood cells engulf and kill microorganisms, ingest cell debris and particulate matter, and release proinflammatory chemical signals and regulators?

What term is used specifically for neutrophils as they are the commonest type of granulocyte?

Which component of blood carry surface proteins that can bind to receptors on the endothelial cells of blood vessels and actively adhere to vessel walls before migrating into the tissues?

Which type of blood cells have a single nucleus segmented into multiple lobes and assume variable shapes due to prominent cytoplasmic granules?

What is the term used for the process of blood cell formation in the bone marrow?

What is the term used for the system that controls bleeding in the body?

Which type of white blood cells form an important part of the innate defenses against infection and usually take place in the tissues, not in blood?

Which type of blood cells have a short ‘one-shot’ functional life; having left the circulation they die in the tissues and do not reenter the blood?
