Question

state the functions of the following components of transport system:(a) wbc (b) lymph(c)rbc

Answer 1

WBC -- White blood cells (WBCs), also calledleukocytes or leucocytes, are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders. All white blood cells are produced and derived from multipotent cells in the bone marrow known as hematopoietic stem cells.

RBC ---- Hemoglobin is the protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen. Red blood cells also remove carbon dioxide from your body, transporting it to the lungs for you to exhale. Red blood cells are made inside your bones, in the bone marrow. They typically live for about 120 days, and then they die.

Lymph --- The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. The primaryfunction of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body.

Answer 2

Answer:

The functions are as follows:

1. WBC- involved in fighting infections in our body by utilising various cells.

Neutrophil and monocytes- involved in phagocytosis

Lymphocytes- produce antibody

Eosinophil- involved in allergic reactions; kills parasites

Basophil- heparin and histamine is released.

2. Lymph- forms the lymphatic system that performs the given functions- removes interstitial fluid from tissues, absorbs fatty acids and fats, transports WBCs.

3. RBC- exchange of gases( oxygen to body cells and carbon dioxide to the lungs).
