Question

In terms of its tissue classification, blood is classified as a ____(1)______tissue because it’s extracellular matrix determines its function. Blood is composed of living blood cells, called formed substances, suspended in a nonliving fluid matrix called ___(2)________. The "fibers" of blood only become visible during ______(3)____________. When blood is centrifuged, the plasma is less dense and rises to the top. It makes up ___(4)_____ of whole blood. The other 45% is comprised of 3 formed elements, scientifically they are called: ____(5)_______ (RBC), _____(6)____ (WBC) and ____(7)_____(platelets). The heavier blood cells become packed at the bottom. Most of the bottom is composed of _____(8)___________. The "buffy coat" separates these two areas. It is composed of ____(9)______ and ___(10)_______.

Answer 1

Answer:

(1): CONNECTIVE

(2): PLASMA

(3): INJURY

(4): 55%

Blood is composed of living blood cells, called formed substances, suspended in a nonliving fluid matrix called ___PLASMA________. The "fibers" of blood only become visible during ______INJURY____________. When blood is centrifuged, the plasma is less dense and rises to the top. It makes up ___55%_____ of whole blood. The other 45% is comprised of 3 formed elements, scientifically they are called: ____RED BLOOD CELLS_______ (RBC), _____WHITE BLOOD CELLS____ (WBC) and ____THROMBOCYTES_____(platelets). The heavier blood cells become packed at the bottom. Most of the bottom is composed of _____ERYTHROCYTES___________. The "buffy coat" separates these two areas.

Answer 2

Answer:

All the answers are correct and taken from authentic source. I have added the reference of research paper below.

In terms of its tissue classification, blood is classified as a _CONNECTIVE_ tissue because it’s extracellular matrix determines its function.

Blood is composed of living blood cells, called formed substances, suspended in a nonliving fluid matrix called _BLOOD PLASMA_.

The "fibers" of blood only become visible during _CLOTTING _.

When blood is centrifuged, the plasma is less dense and rises to the top. It makes up _ 45%_ of whole blood.

The other 45% is comprised of 3 formed elements, scientifically they are called: _ ERYTHROCYTES _ (RBC), _LEUKOCYTES_ (WBC) and _ Thrombocytes _(platelets).

The heavier blood cells become packed at the bottom. Most of the bottom is composed of _ ERYTHROCYTES HEMATOCRIT _.

The "buffy coat" separates these two areas. It is composed of _ LEUKOCYTES AND PLATELETS _.
