A. Fight infection
B. Transport oxygen
C. Produce antibodies
D. Regulate pH directly
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which binds and transports
oxygen.
2. A patient with anemia is most likely to experience:
A. Increased oxygen delivery
B. Reduced oxygen transport
C. Increased blood clotting

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Anemia reduces hemoglobin levels, lowering oxygen-carrying
capacity.
3. Platelets are primarily responsible for:
A. Oxygen transport
B. Immune response
,C. Blood clotting
D. Hormone transport
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Platelets initiate clot formation to prevent blood loss.
4. A decrease in hematocrit indicates:
A. Increased red blood cells
B. Decreased blood volume
C. Lower proportion of red blood cells
D. Increased clotting
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hematocrit measures RBC percentage in blood.
5. A patient with leukemia is expected to have:
A. Normal WBC count
B. Excess abnormal WBCs
C. Low RBC production only
D. Increased platelets only

B. Liver
C. Aorta
D. Left atrium
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The pulmonary artery carries blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
8. The AV valves prevent:
A. Blood entering atria
B. Backflow into atria
C. Oxygen loss
D. Clot formation
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: AV valves ensure one-way flow into ventricles.
9. A patient with blocked coronary arteries is at risk of:
