Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemolysis is the process of destruction of red blood cells that leads to the release of hemoglobin. Hemolysin is a substance that can cause hemolysis but it is not the term used to describe the process itself. Hemolyze is not a correct term and erythrocytosis is a condition of having an excessive number of red blood cells, not related to their destruction.
