Question
Answer the following question.
Priya got injured in an accident and hurt her long bone and later on she was also diagnosed with anaemia. What could be the probable reason?
Solution
- The centre of long bones (diaphysis) contains bone marrow, which is a site of production of blood cells (red blood cells).
- Any severe injury to the bone marrow can affect rate of haematopoiesis (formation of blood cells).
- A low count of erythrocytes (red blood cells) is characterised as anaemia.
Hence, an injury to Priya’s long bone might have resulted in anaemia.
