○ increase in hemoglobin and iron levels in rbcs
○ decrease in numbers of wbcs and crenated wbcs

Explanation:

Question 23

Anemia is a condition defined by a reduction in normal red blood cell (RBC) count, iron, or hemoglobin levels. The other options are incorrect: an increase in RBC numbers (with crenated shapes) is not anemia, an increase in hemoglobin/iron in RBCs is the opposite of anemia, and a decrease in WBCs (white blood cells) is related to leukopenia, not anemia.

Lymph is the fluid collected throughout the body by the lymphatic system and drains into the blood via two ducts in the neck (thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct). Lymphocytes, monocytes, and stem cells are cell types, not the fluid that drains in this manner.

Answer:

A. decrease in normal RBC numbers, iron, or hemoglobin levels
