Question

which type of drug is given to suppress the immune response and decrease inflammation?
corticosteroid
thrombolytic enzyme
protease inhibitor
anticoagulant
question 92
a bone marrow aspiration is done by taking red marrow from the:
lymph node.
thymus.
spleen.
iliac crest.
question 93
an abnormal increase in the number of erythrocytes in the blood is known as:
leukemia.
anemia.
polycythemia vera.
thrombocytopenia.

Explanation:

• Question 1: Corticosteroids are known for their ability to suppress the immune response and reduce inflammation. Thrombolytic enzymes dissolve blood clots, protease inhibitors target proteases (e.g., in HIV treatment), and anticoagulants prevent blood clotting.
• Question 2: Bone marrow aspiration typically involves taking red marrow from the iliac crest. Lymph nodes, thymus, and spleen are not the standard sites for bone marrow aspiration.
• Question 3: Polycythemia vera is characterized by an abnormal increase in erythrocytes. Leukemia involves abnormal white blood cell production, anemia is a decrease in erythrocytes or hemoglobin, and thrombocytopenia is a low platelet count.

Answer:

• First question: corticosteroid
• Second question: iliac crest
• Third question: polycythemia vera
