Question
Match the descriptors in the left-hand column with the most appropriate blood constituent listed in the right-hand column.
plasma
platelets
red blood cells
serum
white blood cells
non cellular 'formed elements' that lack nuclei like erythrocytes but that, similar to leukocytes, can leave the blood vessels and move into tissue spaces
cellular 'formed elements' that are released from the bone marrow and circulate and function for roughly 120 days before being removed by the liver or spleen
cellular 'formed elements' that function primarily to transport oxygen from the lungs to body tissues and carbon dioxide from the body tissues to the lungs
'formed elements' that function primarily in clot formation to minimize blood loss following vessel injury
cellular 'formed elements' whose percentage in the overall volume of blood determines hematocrit
cellular 'formed elements' that contain nuclei and mitochondria and have the capacity to squeeze between the cells lining blood capillary walls and move out of the blood vessels and function directly in body tissues
cellular 'formed elements' that can belong to one of several different subtypes, including basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes
cellular 'formed elements' that contain nuclei and mitochondria and function mainly to provide immune protection
liquid component of the blood prior to clotting, when the protein fibrinogen is still present
non cellular 'formed elements' that are fragments of larger precursor cells known as megakaryocytes
cellular 'formed elements' that lack nuclei and mitochondria and contain abundant hemoglobin
liquid component of the blood remaining after clotting has occurred, which thus lacks fibrinogen

Explanation / Answer
Non cellular 'formed elements' that lack nuclei like erythrocytes but that, similar to leukocytes, can leave the blood vessels and move into tissue spaces : 2. platelets
Cellular 'formed elements' that are released from the bone marrow and circulate and function for roughly 120 days before being removed by the liver or spleen: 3. red blood cells
Cellular 'formed elements' that function primarily to transport oxygen from the lungs to body tissues and carbon dioxide from the body tissues to the lungs: 3. red blood cells
'Formed elements' that function primarily in clot formation to minimize blood loss following vessel injury: 2. platelets
Cellular 'formed elements' whose percentage in the overall volume of blood determines hematocrit : 5. white blood cells.
Cellular 'formed elements' that contain nuclei and mitochondria and have the capacity to squeeze between the cells lining blood capillary walls and move out of the blood vessels and function directly in body tissues : 5. white blood cells.
Cellular 'formed elements' that can belong to one of several different subtypes, including basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes : 5. white blood cells.
Cellular 'formed elements' that contain nuclei and mitochondria and function mainly to provide immune protection : 5. white blood cells.
Liquid component of the blood prior to clotting, when the protein fibrinogen is still present : 1. plasma
Non cellular 'formed elements' that are fragments of larger precursor cells known as megakaryocytes : 2. platelets.
Cellular 'formed elements' that lack nuclei and mitochondria and contain abundant hemoglobin : 3. red blood cells.
Liquid component of the blood remaining after clotting has occurred, which thus lacks fibrinogen : 4. serum.
The order is : 2, 3, 3, 2, 5, 5, 5, 5, 1, 2, 3 and 4.
