Sample Questions Included

Below are examples representing the structure and difficulty of the test bank questions:

1. Question 1. Which of the following is NOT a major function of the blood?
   • a) Transportation of nutrients
   • b) Regulation of blood pH
   • c) Protection against infectious disease
   • d) Transportation of heat
   • e) Production of oxygen

   Correct Answer: e)

   Rationale: Blood transports gases, nutrients, hormones, heat, and wastes, but oxygen is produced by cellular respiration, not by blood.

2. Question 2. Which of the following is NOT a true statement regarding blood?
   • a) The normal average temperature of blood is around 100.4°F.
   • b) The normal pH range for blood is 7.35–7.45.
   • c) Hemocytoblasts are a common component of circulating blood.
   • d) The most numerous circulating blood cell is the RBC.
   • e) Blood is a liquid connective tissue consisting of formed elements and plasma.

   Correct Answer: c)

   Rationale: Hemocytoblasts exist in red bone marrow, not in circulating blood. All other statements are correct.

3. Question 3. The hematocrit is a measure of the percentage of whole blood occupied by:
   • a) WBCs
   • b) Platelets
   • c) RBCs
   • d) Plasma
   • e) Plasma proteins

   Correct Answer: c)

   Rationale: Hematocrit represents the proportion of blood volume made up by red blood cells.
