    The document provides an end of chapter checklist summarizing key concepts about the circulatory system and blood. It lists structures and functions of the heart, arteries, veins, capillaries, and blood components including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Specific points covered include how tissue fluid is formed, the role of plasma in transporting substances around the body, adaptations of red blood cells for oxygen transport, the role of white blood cells in disease prevention, blood clotting and the role of platelets, issues with transplants, blood groups, causes of heart attacks, and benefits of exercise for the circulatory system.

    its function of transporting oxygen.

    b) Describe how oxygen:

    i) enters a red blood cell from the alveoli in the lungs
