Splenomegaly as a result of bone marrow failure is indicative of:
A) Liver disease
B) Accelerated immune response
C) Extramedullary hematopoiesis
D) Nuclear asynchrony

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) can occur as a result of extramedullary hematopoiesis, which is where the body produces blood cells outside of the bone marrow. This can happen in cases where the bone marrow is malfunctioning or not functioning properly, leading to a buildup of blood cells in other organs such as the spleen. Liver disease (choice A) can also cause splenomegaly, but it is not directly related to bone marrow failure. Accelerated immune response (choice B) and nuclear asynchrony (choice D) are not related to splenomegaly or bone marrow failure.
