Circulation is vital because it:
Inflates the lungs.
Supplies oxygen and nutrients to and removes wastes from tissues.
Delivers wastes to tissues.
Delivers carbon dioxide to tissues and removes excess oxygen.
The Correct Answer is B
Circulation is the movement or flow of something, especially blood or air, through a circuit or a specific course.
Circulation supplies oxygen and nutrients to and removes wastes from tissues. This is essential for the survival and functioning of cells and organs.
Choice A is wrong because circulation does not inflate the lungs.
The lungs are inflated by the pressure difference between the air inside and outside the chest cavity.
Choice C is wrong because circulation does not deliver waste to tissues.
Circulation removes wastes from tissues and delivers them to the excretory organs such as the kidneys and the lungs.
Choice D is wrong because circulation does not deliver carbon dioxide to tissues and removes excess oxygen.
Circulation does the opposite: it delivers oxygen to tissues and removes carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is a waste product of cellular respiration that needs to be eliminated from the body.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
This is because fibrinogen is a soluble protein in the blood plasma that is converted to insoluble fibrin strands by the enzyme thrombin during blood clotting. Fibrin forms a mesh-like network that traps platelets and other blood cells to form a clot.
Choice A is wrong because thrombin is not converted to prothrombin, but rather prothrombin is converted to thrombin by another enzyme called prothrombinase.
Choice C is wrong because vitamin K is not converted to prothrombin, but rather vitamin K is required for the synthesis of prothrombin and other clotting factors in the liver.
Choice D is wrong because fibrin is not converted to fibrinogen, but rather fibrinogen is converted to fibrin as explained above.
Normal ranges of fibrinogen in the blood are 200 to 400 mg/dL.
Normal ranges of prothrombin time (a measure of how long it takes blood to clot) are 11 to
13.5 seconds.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
The correct answer is choice A. True.
Blood flow through a capillary is controlled by a precapillary sphincter, which opens or closes due to the requirements of the cells supplied by the capillary.
This allows blood to bypass the capillaries when they are not needed and to increase blood flow when they are needed.
Choice B. False is wrong because it contradicts the true statement in choice A. A precapillary sphincter is a ring of smooth muscle that surrounds the entrance of a capillary and regulates blood flow into it.
It is influenced by local factors such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, and temperature.
