Answer:

The correct option is A. Polycythemia Vera

Explanation:

Polycythemia vera is a myeloproliferative disorder of bone marrow hematopoietic cells that causes excessive production of all types of blood cells.

Primary erythrocytosis occurs as a result of polycythemia vera, in this myeloproliferative disorder the bone marrow produces too many red blood cells along with excessive amounts of white blood cells and platelets. Bone marrow under normal conditions produces blood cells and contains the precursor cells of the three series: red blood cells, white blood cells or leukocytes and platelets or thrombocytes, this disorder is characterized by excessive or uncontrolled proliferation or growth of these cells. The increased production of red blood cells or erythrocytes is called erythrocytosis.

Answer:

A) Polycythemia Vera

Explanation:

Erythrocytosis refers to a condition of the blood in which the count of the Red blood cell in the blood increases due to abnormal proliferation of the red blood cells.

The main cause of the primary erythrocytosis is caused by a disease called polycythemia Vera in which the stem cell starts producing a large number of a red blood cell.

The increased number of the red blood cell leads to the thickening of the blood which lowers the flow of the blood in the body and the formation of blood clots.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

Acompound has the empirical formula CH.
ozzi
The empirical formula is the simplest whole number ration that defines constituent atoms in a species. The molecular formula is always a multiple of the empirical formula.

Molecule Formula = 78.0 • g • mol ^ -1 = n(12.011 + 1.00794) • g • mol ^ -1

78
N = ——————————- = 6
12.011 + 1.00794

Molecular Formula = C6H6

In which process is lactic acid formed when there is not enough oxygen present for cellular respiration to take place?
Olenka [21]
Anaerobic respiration.
<span>Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration BUT does not use oxygen (O2). It is used when there is not enough O2 for aerobic respiration.
</span><span>It can be summarised by the equation: glucose → lactic acid (+ energy released). However, it releases less energy than aerobic repspiration due to a lack of oxygen resulting in an INCOMPLETE breakdown of glucose.

An older adult with a history of small cell lung carcinoma reports muscle cramping, thirst, and fatigue. the primary healthcare
devlian [24]

The answer is Urine specific gravity less than 1.025. Because the exact gravity is less than 1.025 after treatment, the outcome is measured positive. In syndrome of unsuitable antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), the specific gravity is greater than 1.025. Small cell lung cancer is a risk factor of SIADH.
