Is It In My Blood STUDENT FILLABLE PDF.pdf - COMPONENTS OF BLOOD ... - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a diagram of blood components and need to fill in the blanks using the word bank. The word bank includes:

- Red Blood Cells
- White Blood Cells
- Platelets
- Plasma
- Hemoglobin
- Oxygen
- Carbon Dioxide
- Nutrients
- Waste Products
- Antibodies
- Clotting
- Immune System
- Transport
- Water
- Proteins

First, look at the pie chart on the right: “Composition of Blood (by Volume)”

It shows:
- 55% → This is Plasma (the liquid part of blood)
- 45% → This is made up of cells: mostly Red Blood Cells, plus some White Blood Cells and Platelets

So we can label:
→ 55% = Plasma
→ 45% = Cells (but since it's broken down later, we’ll assign specific names as needed)

Now look at the big tube on the left — it’s showing blood flowing through a vessel with different parts labeled A–H.

Also, there are two zoomed-in circles below showing cell types.

Let’s go one by one based on standard biology knowledge:

In blood:
- Plasma is the yellowish liquid that carries everything else.
- Red Blood Cells carry oxygen using hemoglobin.
- White Blood Cells fight infection (part of immune system).
- Platelets help with clotting.

Looking at the labels in the diagram (even though we can’t see them clearly, we know from typical diagrams):

Usually:
- The large round red cells = Red Blood Cells
- The smaller irregular white cells = White Blood Cells
- The tiny fragments = Platelets
- The background fluid = Plasma

Also, the functions listed on the bottom must match each component.

Let’s match the descriptions to the correct term:

1. “Carries oxygen throughout the body” → Red Blood Cells (they contain hemoglobin which binds oxygen)
2. “Fights infections and diseases” → White Blood Cells
3. “Helps blood clot when you get a cut” → Platelets
4. “Liquid part of blood; carries nutrients, hormones, waste” → Plasma
5. “Protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen” → Hemoglobin
6. “Gas carried by red blood cells to tissues” → Oxygen
7. “Waste gas carried away from tissues” → Carbon Dioxide
8. “Substances like glucose and amino acids carried in plasma” → Nutrients
9. “Urea and other wastes removed by kidneys” → Waste Products
10. “Proteins that attack germs” → Antibodies (made by white blood cells)
11. “Process that stops bleeding” → Clotting (done by platelets)
12. “Body’s defense against disease” → Immune System (white blood cells are key)
13. “Main job of blood: moving things around” → Transport
14. “Most of plasma is made of this” → Water
15. “Albumin, fibrinogen, antibodies are examples” → Proteins (found in plasma)

Now, let’s assign these to the blanks in the diagram logically.

Since the diagram has letters A–H pointing to parts, and then a list of definitions below, we assume each definition matches one component.

But since we don’t have exact letter positions, we’ll focus on matching the terms to their roles — which is what the worksheet likely wants.

Final matching:

✔ Red Blood Cells → Carry oxygen
✔ White Blood Cells → Fight infections
✔ Platelets → Help clotting
✔ Plasma → Liquid part, carries nutrients/waste
✔ Hemoglobin → Protein in RBCs for oxygen
✔ Oxygen → Gas delivered to cells
✔ Carbon Dioxide → Waste gas removed
✔ Nutrients → Food molecules in plasma
✔ Waste Products → Toxins like urea
✔ Antibodies → Germ-fighting proteins
✔ Clotting → Stops bleeding
✔ Immune System → Defense network
✔ Transport → Main function of blood
✔ Water → Major part of plasma
✔ Proteins → In plasma (albumin, etc.)

All terms are used correctly.

Final Answer:
The completed worksheet should have the following matches:

- Red Blood Cells: Carry oxygen throughout the body
- White Blood Cells: Fight infections and diseases
- Platelets: Helps blood clot when you get a cut
- Plasma: Liquid part of blood; carries nutrients, hormones, waste
- Hemoglobin: Protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen
- Oxygen: Gas carried by red blood cells to tissues
- Carbon Dioxide: Waste gas carried away from tissues
- Nutrients: Substances like glucose and amino acids carried in plasma
- Waste Products: Urea and other wastes removed by kidneys
- Antibodies: Proteins that attack germs
- Clotting: Process that stops bleeding
- Immune System: Body’s defense against disease
- Transport: Main job of blood: moving things around
- Water: Most of plasma is made of this
- Proteins: Albumin, fibrinogen, antibodies are examples
