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.

How many new volumes would each new cell contain whenever a cell splits?
Elenna [48]
The specific volume will be different for various kinds of cells. The safe answer would be that the new cell will pretty much have the same volume as the one that it divided from. This is true for most eukaryotic cells unless other factors like epigenetics or mutations come into place.

One example of moments a cell would increase in volume is during hypertrophy. This simply means that the cell is increasing in size (compared to: hyperplasia -- which is an increase in number of the cells). Hypertrophy is definitely an increase in volume of the cell but this doesn't necessarily translate to cell division (i.e. just because the cell is big now, doesn't mean it will still be big when it divides).

Another moment of increasing volume of the cell and now also related to cell division would be during the two stages in the cell cycle (i.e., G1 and G2 phases). This is the growth phase of the cell preparing to divide. However when mitosis or division happens, the cells will normally end with the same volume as when it started.

This are safe generalizations referring to the human cells. It would help if a more specific kind of cell was given.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Mechanoreceptors would be activated

Explanation:

The skin is a complex organ that is found covering the entire surface of the human body. The mechanoreceptors are responsible for the sense of touch, that is, the capture of pressure on the skin. They are the Meissner corpuscles and the Vater-Pacini corpuscles, which are made up of nerve endings and connective tissue, in other words, they are receptors that are stimulated by muscle contraction and pressure on the joint elements. It allows to know the position of the body and the degree of contraction of the muscles.
