Explanation / Answer

Answer: Q.1 - Option B

Explanation: Erythrocyte or Red Blood Cells accounts for ~45% of total volume of blood.

Answer: Q.2 - Option D.

Explanation: Albumin helps to retain water in blood by osmosis.

Answer: Q.3 - Option E

Explanation: RBC's are biconcave disc shaped cells which lacks nucleus. They survive for about 120 days and get destroyed at the spleen. They have a large surface area relative to the volume.

Answer: Q.4 - Option D.

Explanation: 4 oxygen molecule can bind to a haemoglobin, hence it helps in the transport of oxygen. Heme contain porphyrin an organic compound which binds to iron (fe).

Answer: Q.5 - Option D

Explanation: Haemocytoblast--> Common myeloid progenitor --> Proerythroblast --> Basophilic erythroblast --> Polychromatic erythroblast --> Normoblast --> Reticulocyte --> Erythrocyte.

Answer: Q.6 - Option E.

Explanation: Lymphocytes are agranulocyte, hence not multi-lobed. Memory B-cells survive for years. Histamines and heparin are produced by cells such as basophils and mast cells.

Answer: Q.7 - Option C.

Explanation: Eosinophils are stained by acidic dye. They contain granules. Increase in Eosinophils is associated with parasitic worm invasion.

Answer: Q.8 - Option C

Explanation: Neutrophils and lymphoctes are found in abundance, while basophils and eosinophils are found in least number. Monocytes accounts for ~9%.
