Question

If a person develops chronic lymphocytic leukemia, what leukocytes may be involved and how mature are they in the bloodstream? Common symptoms of all types of leukemia are caused not only by the poor functioning of leukocytes, but also by the loss of erythrocytes and platelets. These formed elements have a reduction in their number because the tissue that normally produces them is crowded out by the uncontrolled growth of the leukocyte-producing tissue. For each symptom below, state whether leukocytes, erythrocytes, or platelets are involved.

anemia
easy bleeding
repeated infections
enlarged lymph nodes
shortness of breath
excessive bruising

Answer 1

The correct answer is -

anemia- erythrocytes

easy bleeding- platelets

Repeated infections - leucocytes

enlarged lymph nodes- leucocytes

shortness of breath- erythrocytes

excessive bruising- Platelets

Step-by-step explanation:

Cancer of the lymphocytes is chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell involved in the body's immune system.

Platelets are tiny blood cell fragments that help your body form clots to stop bleeding. The platelets then rush to the site of damage and form a plug, or clot, to repair the damage.

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.

Leucocytes- White blood cells (also called leukocytes or leucocytes and abbreviated as WBCs) are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders.
