Neutropenia.

Having too few neutrophils, a particular kind of white blood cell, leads to neutropenia. While all white blood cells aid in the body's ability to fight infections, neutrophils are particularly crucial in the battle against some illnesses, particularly those brought on by bacteria.

You may be more susceptible to infections if you have neutropenia. Even common oral and digestive system bacteria can cause significant sickness when neutropenia is severe.

A reduction in neutrophils leads to fever and infection (neutropenia). Anemia, or low red blood cell counts, contributes to AML symptoms such pallor, weakness, and weariness.

Pancytopenia, a generalized drop in all blood components, is not the reason why AML patients have fever. In AML, petechiae and bruises are brought on by thrombocytopenia, a decrease in platelet count.

What is a consequence of the separation and independent pumping of pulmonary and systemically-derived blood through the heart?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

It allows for higher blood pressure in the systemic compared to the pulmonary circuit, leading to high efficiency of oxygenation of tissues. Oxygenated and deoxygenated blood have no possibility of mixing. Respiratory gas exchange is maximized because blood with lowest oxygen concentration from vena cava is directed toward the respiratory surfaces.
