AFibrinolysis
BBlood doping
CHemopoiesis
DSensitization
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Blood doping
1. Extra erythrocytes deliver more oxygen to tissues and raise aerobic capacity.
2. Transfusing them in for sporting advantage is called blood doping.
3. The cells can come from the athlete, which is autologous, or from a compatible donor, which is homologous.
4. Hemopoiesis is normal blood cell production and sensitization is the making of anti-Rh antibodies, so neither names this practice.
