Question

Which one statement is not correctly explained

• A. Erythrocytopenia-Causeshypoxial condition in body tissues
• B. Wintrob haematocrit-Volume occupied by blood corpuscles is determined
• C. Sludging-clumping of R.B.C after burn
• D. Leukemia-Decreased number of W.B.C

Answer 1

The correct option is D Leukemia-Decreased number of W.B.C

Erythrocytopenia is caused due to the reduction in a number of RBC's and may be caused by several mechanisms: low production, blood loss, or fast destruction. Hypoxia can also result from erythrocytopenia (anaemia) due to the failure in the delivery of sufficient oxygen to cells. The volume percentage (vol%) of red blood cells in blood is measured by the Wintrobe haematocrit. Sludgging is the process in which blood corpuscles, as a result of some general abnormal state, such as, burns, traumatic shock, and similar stresses, become massed together in the capillaries, and thereby block the vessels or move slowly through them. Leukaemia is a cancer of blood cells in which In leukaemia, abnormal blood cells are produced in the bone marrow and not destroyed. So, the correct option is 'Leukemia-Decreased number of W.B.C'.
