Here are some common statements about blood, with the false one highlighted:
- True: Blood transports oxygen and nutrients to cells and removes waste products.
- True: Blood consists of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
- False: Blood is blue when it is inside the body. (This is a myth; blood is always red, appearing darker when deoxygenated and brighter when oxygenated.)
- True: Blood plays a critical role in regulating body temperature and pH levels.
