Red blood cells (erythrocytes) mainly function to:

Answer: Transport oxygen to body tissues.

  • A Transport oxygen to body tissues
  • B Initiate blood clotting at wound sites
  • C Engulf bacteria by phagocytosis
  • D Produce antibodies against pathogens

Correct answer: A. Transport oxygen to body tissues

Explanation: Red blood cells contain haemoglobin, which binds oxygen in the lungs and transports it to tissues throughout the body.

ECG: The Three Key WavesP wave(atrial depol.)QRS complex(ventricular depol.)T wave(ventricular repol.)QRS is the tallest spike - ventricles have far more muscle mass than the atria

A single ECG cycle: the P wave marks atrial depolarisation (contraction signal), the large QRS complex marks ventricular depolarisation, and the T wave marks ventricular repolarisation (recovery) before the next cycle begins.

Concept context

Blood, lymph, the heart, the cardiac cycle, blood pressure, and ECG. High NEET weightage.
