transport oxygen
made in bone marrow
no nucleus
disc shaped
contain haemoglobin

17
Q

what is the structure and function of white blood cells

A

fight against infection
bigger than RBC

18
Q

what is the structure and function of platelets

A

close wounds
form scabs by repairing tissue

19
Q

what is the structure and function of plasma

A

made up of water
transport antibodies, nutrients

20
Q

what happens if there is less oxygen available in blood

A

produce more red blood cells

21
Q

what is vascular shunt

A

redistribution of blood flow during exercise
more oxygen to working muscles

22
Q

what is the structure and function of arterioles

A

smallest arteries, regulate blood flow into capillaries beds, widen to allow blood flow

23
Q

what is the structure and function of pre- capillary sphincters
