Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Name the blood cells, whose reduction in number can cause clotting disorder, leading to excessive loss of blood from the body.
A
Neutrophils
B
Thrombocytes
C
Erythrocytes
D
Leucocytes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A reduction in number of thrombocytes can lead to clotting disorders which will result in excessive loss of blood from the body. As thrombocytes play a major role in the clotting process. These are also called blood platelets.

Detailed explanation-2: -When a person bleeds, the body typically pools blood cells together to form a clot to stop the bleeding. Clotting factors are proteins in the blood that work with cells known as platelets to form clots. Hemophilia occurs when a clotting factor is missing or levels of the clotting factor are low.

Detailed explanation-3: -Red blood cells deliver oxygen to the cells and remove carbon dioxide. White blood cells-including neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, eosinophils, and basophils-are involved in the immune response. Platelets form clots that prevent blood loss after injury.

Detailed explanation-4: -Platelets (a type of blood cell) and proteins in your plasma (the liquid part of blood) work together to stop the bleeding by forming a clot over the injury.

Detailed explanation-5: -Dangerous internal bleeding can occur when your platelet count falls below 10, 000 platelets per microliter. Though rare, severe thrombocytopenia can cause bleeding into the brain, which can be fatal.
