The answer is the third one: Thrombocytes.

Explanation for each option:

  • Leukocytes: These are white blood cells, which are part of the immune system and help fight infections. This is incorrect for platelets.
  • Erythrocytes: These are red blood cells, responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. This is incorrect for platelets.
  • Thrombocytes: This is the correct medical term for platelets, which are cell fragments involved in blood clotting.
  • Megakaryocytes: These are large bone marrow cells that produce platelets. While related, this term does not refer to platelets themselves.

In summary, the correct medical terminology for platelets is "Thrombocytes."

Given: triangle XOB congruent to angle AOX Prove: m angle XOB=90 degrees Statements Reasons 1. angle XOB congruent to angle AOX 1. given 2. angle XOB and angle AOX are supplementary 2. linear pair theorem 3. m angle XOB+m angle AOX=180 degrees 3. definition of supplementary angles 4. m angle XOB=m angle AOX 4. definition of congruence 5. 2 m angle XOB=180 degrees 5. substitution property of equality m angle XOB=90 degrees 6. division property of equality Since line segment AOB forms a line segment, angle XOB and angle AOX are supplementary by the linear pair theorem. Using the definition of supplementary angles, m angle XOB+m angle AOX=180 degrees. Since it is given that angle XOB congruent to angle AOX, then m angle XOB=m angle AOX.
