Question

Name the blood cells, when reduction in number can cause clotting disorder, leading to excessive loss of blood from the body

• A. Neutrophils
• B. Thrombocytes
• C. Erythrocytes
• D. Leucocytes

Answer 1

The correct option is B Thrombocytes

Platelets, also called thrombocytes are a component of blood whose function (along with the coagulation factors) is to stop bleeding by clumping and clotting blood vessel injuries. So if there is a reduction in thrombocyte number will cause clotting disorder, leading to excessive blood from the body.
Neutrophils are white blood cells that play some very important roles in our innate immune system. They circulate around our body in the bloodstream, and when they sense signals that an infection is present, they are the first cells to migrate to the site of the infection to begin killing the invading microbes.
Erythrocytes are red blood cells that travel in the blood. They carry oxygen from the lungs to the body and bring carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be expelled.
White blood cells (WBCs), also called leukocytes or leucocytes, are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious.
