Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The type of blood cells described in the statement given needs to be identified as erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelet.
Concept Introduction:
Among the blood cells there are three types namely erythrocytes- the red blood cells, leukocytes- the white blood cells and platelets. Each cell has its specific characteristic which is key to their identification and function.
(b)
Interpretation:
The type of blood cell described in the statement given needs to be identified as erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets.
Concept Introduction:
The blood has its components which have their own individual functions and individual characteristics which are crucial to their functioning and the functioning of the body. These very characteristics are also helpful in the identification of these cells.
(c)
Interpretation:
The type of blood cell on the basis of the description given in the statement needs to be identified as erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets.
Concept Introduction:
The blood cells are of three types and they are erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets. These each have their characteristics which are crucial for their functioning, and also for their identification.
(d)
Interpretation:
The type of blood cells that have been described in the statement given needs to be identified as erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets.
Concept Introduction:
There are three different types of blood cells with their specific characteristics and these characteristics are used to identify these cells as well.
(e)
Interpretation:
The type of blood cells on the basis of the statement provided needs to be identified as erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets.
Concept Introduction:
Each blood cell has a specific characteristic which is important for the body functioning and the functioning of the blood cell itself. These very characteristics can be used to identify the cells.
