Question

Blood temperature is approximately _____________________, and blood pH averages _____________________. (a) 98.6°F, 7.0 (b) 104°F, 7.8 (c) 100.4°F, 7.4 (d) 96.8°F, 7.0.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Blood can be defined as the body fluid that is principally responsible for carrying out the function of transportation of Oxygen and nutrients from the cell and body tissues to the heart and vice versa.

Step 2

The average temperature of the blood is 100.4F, and the blood pH is 7.4. The blood pH is the measurement of acidity and basicity of the blood, and temperature above 100.4 F of blood demonstrates that a person is suffering from fever.

Hence the correct option is c.
