KROK 1 2019 – Question 108 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathophysiology
A patient developed punctate hemorrhages after a tourniquet had been applied. It occurred due to functional disturbance of the following blood corpuscles:
- A. Lymphocytes
- B. Neutrophils
- C. Platelets
- D. Eosinophils
- E. Monocytes
Hint
A positive tourniquet test reveals fragile capillaries, so ask which blood component normally maintains the integrity of small-vessel walls and seals tiny defects.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
