Question

________ is a condition in which the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood is reduced.
A) Polycythemia
B) Leukemia
C) Anemia
D) Leukopenia
E) Thrombocytopenia

Accepted Answer

Anemia is the condition in which the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood is reduced, typically caused by a deficiency in red blood cells or hemoglobin. Polycythemia is the opposite condition in which there is an excess of red blood cells, while leukemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia all relate to abnormalities in white blood cells or platelets rather than red blood cells.
