Explanation / Answer

1. True/False: Mark the following statements as true (T) or false (F). If the statement is false, correct it to make it a true statement.

b. Erythrocytes are generally involved in some aspect of the immune system. (FALSE)

Correct statement: Granulocytes are involved in some aspects of immune system.

c. The granulocytes include the neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. (TRUE)

d. Eosinophils are involved in mediating responses to parasitic worms and allergies. (FALSE)

Correct statement: Eosinophils are involved in mediating responses to parasitic worms.

e. Lymphocytes leave the blood and become macrophages, very active phagocytes. (FALSE)

Correct statement: Monocytes leave the blood and become macrophages, very active phagocytes.

2. State which antigens are present on the surface of erythrocytes of the following blood types:

a. A - contains A antigen

b. O - contains neither A nor B antigen

c. AB + contains both A and B antigen

d. B + contains B antigen

3. Fill in the blanks: Antibodies are produces by B lymphocytes and bind to specific antigens on erythrocytes, causing agglutination, or clumping of erythrocytes.

4. Circle all that apply: A person with type O blood has
