Question

Round structures that represent denatured hemoglobin are called:

A) Heinz bodies.

B) rouleaux.

C) Howell-Jolly bodies.

D) agglutination.

Answer 1

The round structures that represent denatured hemoglobin are called Heinz bodies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Round structures that represent denatured hemoglobin are called Heinz bodies. In certain conditions, such as G6PD deficiency, oxidative stress can cause denaturation of hemoglobin molecules. This denatured hemoglobin forms insoluble aggregates inside red blood cells, which can be observed as round structures known as Heinz bodies in a blood film.
