Name the blood cells, whose reduction in number can cause clotting disorder, leading to excessive loss of blood from the body:
Correct answer: D. Thrombocytes
- A. Erythrocytes
- B. Leukocytes
- C. Neutrophils
- D. Thrombocytes
Explanation
Thrombocytes are called blood platelets.They are minute discshaped cell fragments in mammalian blood. They are formed as fragments of arger cells found in red bone marrow; they have no nucleus. They play an important role in blood clotting and release thromboxane A 2 , serotonin and other chemicals, which cause a chain of events leading to the formation of a plug at the site of the damage, thus preventing further blood loss. A reduction in their number can lead to clotting factors which will lead to excessive loss of blood from the body. So correct option is D.

About Circulation
The circulatory system covers the chambers, valves and conducting pathway of the human heart, along with the cardiac cycle and control of heartbeat. It compares arteries, veins and capillaries by structure and function, and explains how the lymphatic system returns tissue fluid, transports absorbed fats and supports immunity.
