Solution
The correct options are
A Arteries are thick-walled and have narrow lumen as compared to veins.
D In diseases such as dengue, platelet count decreases to a great extent.
- Arteries are thick-walled since, the blood flowing through them is at a higher pressure.
- Lumen is a hollow passageway through which the blood flows. Arteries have a narrow lumen than veins which helps them to maintain the pressure of blood flowing.
- In diseases such as dengue, platelet count decreases to a greater extent. Platelets are formed from bone marrow and dengue virus leads to bone marrow suppression. This leads to reduced platelet count in the body.
- A person with AB blood group cannot donate blood to person with O blood group. But can receive blood from anyone.
- Platelets play an important role in blood clotting, while WBCs attack the pathogens entering the body and protect from microbial diseases.
