Detailed explanation-1: -Chronic myeloid leukemia is classified as a myeloproliferative neoplasm. These are slow growing types of leukemia which result in overproduction of white blood cells by the bone marrow, causing high blood counts.

Detailed explanation-2: -As the stem cells of the blood develop, they become blast cells (blasts), which are immature blood cells. In leukemia, there is an overproduction of blast cells. These blast cells develop abnormally and don’t develop into mature blood cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Leukocytosis, an increase in the number of white blood cells to more than 11, 000 cells per microliter of blood (11 × 109 per liter), is often caused by the normal response of the body to help fight an infection, or to some drugs such as corticosteroids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Acute leukemia is rapidly progressing and results in the accumulation of immature, functionless blood cells in the bone marrow. With this type of leukemia, cells reproduce and build up in the marrow, decreasing the marrow’s ability to produce enough healthy blood cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -A type of immature white blood cell that forms in the bone marrow. Myeloblasts become mature white blood cells called granulocytes (neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils).
