Cooley's anemia is another name used for___________?
Correct answer: B. Thalassaemia
- A. Leucemia
- B. Thalassaemia
- C. Sickle cell anemia
- D. None of these
Explanation
Cooley's anaemia is beta-thalassaemia major, an inherited disorder in which defective beta-globin production causes severe anaemia. Students may choose sickle-cell anaemia because both are inherited haemoglobin disorders, but sickle-cell disease results from abnormal haemoglobin shape rather than reduced beta-globin synthesis.

About Blood Vessels
Blood vessels include arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins, whose wall thickness, elasticity, lumen size and valves suit their roles in circulation. Questions compare pressure and blood flow in each vessel and distinguish pulmonary vessels, which carry blood to and from the lungs, from systemic vessels.
