Multiple Choice Questions

1. Which of the following is not a function of blood?
A. transport
B. defense
C. regulation
D. pumping
E. carry oxygen

The major functions of the blood include transport, defense, and regulation. The heart does the pumping.

3. What are the most abundant plasma proteins that also establish the osmotic pressure of the plasma?
A. fibrinogens
B. gamma globulins
C. astrocytes
D. albumins
E. hemoglobin

Albumins are the most abundant plasma proteins and contribute by establishing the osmotic pressure of the plasma.

4. If there is a problem with clotting, what plasma protein may be involved?
A. fibrinogens
B. gamma globulins
C. alpha globulins
D. albumins
E. beta globulins

Fibrinogens are plasma proteins that when activated aid in the proper clotting of blood.

5. When Jennifer had to receive a gamma globulin shot after being exposed to hepatitis, the gamma globulins were serving what function?
A. blood clotting agents
B. transport molecules for cholesterol and iron
C. antibodies
D. osmoregulatory molecules
E. transport molecules for glucose

Gamma globulins serve as antibodies and will protect someone exposed to hepatitis.
