What is ferritin? - ✔✔An iron storage protein
Which gasses do RBCs transport? - ✔✔Oxygen and carbon dioxide
Which blood cells are phagocytes? - ✔✔Leukocytes (White)
What is the function of platelets? - ✔✔Promote blood clotting, help stop blood loss from damaged blood vessels by
forming a platelet plug.
Which blood cells are effective against parasitic worms? - ✔✔Eosinophils
By what processes do leukocytes emigrate from blood vessels? - ✔✔WBC's emigrate from blood vessels through a
process called emigration (diapedesis) in which they roll along the endothelium, stick to it, and then squeeze between
