Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Erythropoiesis is increased (erythroid hyperplasia) in the bone marrow in hemolytic anemia, with no change in the production of granulocytes. The M:E ratio will therefore be decreased (i.e., more erythroid precursors relative to myeloid). Overall cellularity of the bone marrow is increased so that less fat exists.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Schistocytes are fragmented red cells that result when the red cell membrane is damaged by trauma as can be seen in some intravascular hemolytic anemias.
