b) Liver
c) Kidney
d) Thymus
View Answer
Explanation: Old red blood cells are recycled in the spleen. Platelets and white blood cells are stored there. Spleen also helps fight certain kinds of bacteria that cause pneumonia and meningitis.
5. Which leucocytes release heparin and histamine in blood?
a) Neutrophil
b) Basophil
c) Eosinophil
d) Monocytes
View Answer
Explanation: Basophil contains heparin which is an anticoagulant. It is a type of white blood cell.
6. Which blood cells secrets antibody?
a) Eosinophils
b) Monocytes
c) Lymphocytes
d) Neutrophils
View Answer
Explanation: A Lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell that is a part of the immune system. There are 2 main types of Lymphocyte: B cells and T cells. The B cells produce antibodies that are used to attack invading bacteria, viruses and toxins.
7. Vitamin essential for blood clotting is _____________
a) Vitamin K
b) Vitamin A
c) Vitamin B
d) Vitamin C
View Answer
Explanation: Vitamin K is used by the body to help blood clot. Warfarin is used to slow blood clotting. By helping the blood clot vitamin k might decrease the effectiveness of warfarin.

b) Respiratory pigment
c) Carbohydrate
d) Fat
View Answer
Explanation: Hemoglobin is a protein in RBC that carries oxygen throughout the body. Lower Hemoglobin counts indicate anemia.

a) Factor VII
b) Factor VIII
c) Factor IX
d) Factor X
View Answer
Explanation: Hemophilia-A is also called factor VIII deficiency or classic hemophilia. It is a genetic disorder caused by missing or defective factor VIII a clotting protein.
10. What prevents the clotting of blood inside blood vessels?
a) Heparin
b) Serotonin
c) Fibrinogen
d) Fibrin
View Answer
Explanation: Heparin is an anticoagulant that prevents the formation of blood clots. It is used to treat blood clots in veins arteries or lung.
11. Red cell count is carried out by _________

b) Sphygmomanometer
c) Haemoglobinometer
d) Haemocytometer
View Answer
Explanation: Haemocytometer is a device designed and used for counting blood cells. It was invented by Louis Charles Malassez.
12. Blood is five times more viscous than distilled water.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: When hematocrit raised to 60% or 70% the blood viscosity can become as great as 5 to 6 times that of water and it flows through blood vessels is greatly retarded because of increased resistance to flow.
