Transcript text: Multiple Choice Question
A condition characterized by a great inequality in the size of red blood cells is $\qquad$
elliptocytosis
normocytic
macrocytosis
anisocytosis
Solution
The answer is the fourth one (anisocytosis): a condition characterized by a great inequality in the size of red blood cells.
Explanation for each option:
Elliptocytosis: This refers to a condition where red blood cells are elliptical in shape rather than the normal biconcave disk shape. It does not specifically refer to inequality in size.
Normocytic: This term describes red blood cells that are of normal size. It does not indicate any inequality in size.
Macrocytosis: This condition is characterized by larger than normal red blood cells. While it indicates a size difference, it does not specifically refer to a great inequality in size.
Anisocytosis: This term specifically refers to a condition where there is a significant variation in the size of red blood cells, indicating a great inequality in their sizes.
Summary:
Anisocytosis is the correct term for a condition characterized by a great inequality in the size of red blood cells.
