Thank You Very Much!
To answer Question 2, we need to understand the function of the heart. The heart is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. It has two main sides - the left side and the right side. The left side receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the rest of the body, while the right side receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs to be oxygenated.
Based on this information, the correct answer would be C. The heart is organized to move oxygen-poor blood through the lungs and oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.
Now, let's move on to Question 3. We are asked to choose the best set of terms to describe the components of blood.
Leukocytes, ventricle, atrium, and aorta (answer choice A) are not accurate terms for the components of blood. Leukocytes are a type of white blood cell, while ventricle, atrium, and aorta are structures of the heart.
Electrolytes, artery, vein, and cardiac (answer choice C) are also not accurate terms for the components of blood. Electrolytes are ions involved in the body's electrical processes. Artery and vein are blood vessels, and cardiac relates to the heart.
Platelets, plasma, erythrocytes, and leukocytes (answer choice B) are the most appropriate terms to describe the components of blood. Platelets help with blood clotting, plasma is the liquid part of blood that carries nutrients, hormones, and waste, erythrocytes are red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen, and leukocytes are white blood cells that help with the immune system.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Platelets, plasma, erythrocytes, and leukocytes are the best terms to describe the components of blood.
