Name the four parts of blood and give one job of each.
Need a reminder? The key ideaShow
Connective tissue has cells spread in a matrix. Blood: plasma, red cells, white cells, platelets. Ligament: bone to bone. Tendon: muscle to bone. Cartilage is flexible; adipose tissue stores fat.
The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Plasma: carries food, wastes and hormones.
Red blood cells: carry oxygen with haemoglobin.
White blood cells: fight germs.
Platelets: help the blood clot at a cut.
