Additional descriptors of erythrocytes as... sociated with some anemias include anisocytosis (assuming various sizes) or poikilocytosis (assuming various shapes) (Figure 26-1). Question 2 2 / 2 pts What is the pathophysiologic process of aplastic anemia? Correct! Autoimmune disease against hematopoiesis by activated cytotoxic T cells Inherited genetic disorder with recessive X-linked transmission Malignancy of the bone marrow in which unregulated proliferation of erythrocytes crowd out other blood cells Autoimmune disease against hematopoiesis by activated immunoglobulins Most cases of AA result from an autoimmune disease directed against hematopoietic stem cells.
