Question

Internal bleeding (hemorrhage) can be caused by condition called -

• A. polycythemia
• B. erythropoiesis
• C. thrombocytopenia
• D. leucopenia

Hint:

Think of the blood cells needed for clotting.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
Platelets (thrombocytes) start blood clotting by forming a plug and releasing clotting factors.

Step 2: Link with the condition
In thrombocytopenia the platelet count is abnormally low. Even small vessel injuries keep bleeding, giving internal haemorrhage and bruising.

Step 3: Why the other options fail
Polycythemia is an excess of RBCs, erythropoiesis is RBC formation and leucopenia is a low WBC count. None of them causes bleeding directly.

Final Answer:
Internal bleeding can result from thrombocytopenia. \[ \boxed{\text{(C) }\text{thrombocytopenia}} \]
