Term
Name three formed elements found in blood
Definition
erythrocytes
leukocytes
platelets
Term
Who has more red blood cells men or women and why
Definition
men
b/c they have increased muscle mass which requires more energy & Oxygen
Term
transports O2 to cells and CO2 from cells
Definition
Red blood cells
(erythrocytes)
Term
what is the function a red blood cells
Definition
to transport respiratory gases
Term
what do surface antigens in RBCs determine
Definition
blood type
Term
why do RBCs lack mitochondria
Definition
no nucleus=low metabolic activity
(mitochondria produces ATP which is energy and not needed)
Term
