What is the biggest component of blood? What are blood cells made? What is on the surface of infectious cells? When foreign cells enter the bodies, what fights them? What is the disease called when you have low levels of oxygen in your blood and low amounts of hemoglobin? What is the term when your blood clumps together and forms a clot? What is the disorder called when a rhesus positive male and a rhesus negative female have a second child?
Understand the Problem
The question consists of a series of queries related to blood components, blood cell formation, immune responses, diseases related to blood, and specific blood disorders. Each question seeks to clarify fundamental concepts in human biology and medicine, particularly regarding blood.
Answer
Plasma is the biggest component of blood. Blood cells are made in bone marrow. Antigens are on infectious cells. White blood cells fight invaders. Anemia is low oxygen/hemoglobin. Coagulation is clotting. Rh disease occurs in second pregnancies with rhesus incompatibility.
The biggest component of blood is plasma. Blood cells are made in the bone marrow. On the surface of infectious cells are antigens. When foreign cells enter the body, white blood cells fight them. The disease with low oxygen levels and low hemoglobin is anemia. Blood clumping is called coagulation. The disorder with rhesus incompatibility during a second pregnancy is Rh disease.

The biggest component of blood is plasma. Blood cells are made in the bone marrow. On the surface of infectious cells are antigens. When foreign cells enter the body, white blood cells fight them. The disease with low oxygen levels and low hemoglobin is anemia. Blood clumping is called coagulation. The disorder with rhesus incompatibility during a second pregnancy is Rh disease.
More Information
The bone marrow is crucial for producing the vast majority of blood cells. Plasma constitutes around 55% of total blood volume and is essential for carrying substances like proteins and waste products.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the function of plasma with red blood cells when discussing the biggest blood component.
