Answer 1

Answer:

Hope it helps you mate.

Explanation:

1. Any variation in size of the RBCs is known as anisocytosis, and the degree of anisocytosis in a sample of blood is known as the red cell distribution width (RDW).
2. A microcyte, is a red blood cell by definition, a small (micro-) mature cell (-cyte). In terms of actual diameter, a microcyte is defined as any RBC with a diameter less than 5.0 microns compared to the average of 7.2 microns.
3. A macrocyte on the other hand, is a large (macro-) mature cell (-cyte). It is thus an enlargement of red blood cells with a near constant concentration of hemoglobin.
4. Abnormally High RDW: An abnormally high RDW on the other hand means that cells are of a variety of different sizes. High RDWs are generally expected to occur in situations of deficiencies, since only some cells will be deficient and thus affected at a time.
5. Hypochromia is the most common disorder of color that occurs in red blood cells. Hypo-, of course, means “less” and -chromic means “color” so when we describe a cell as hypochromic, we say it has less color.
6. Polychromasia is a medical condition in which there is an abnormally high amount of immature red blood cells being released into the bloodstream.
