Question

For white cells, the diameter of capillaries are?

(a) 58 micrometer

(b) 72 micrometer

(c) 116 micrometer

(d) 102 micrometer

Answer 1

Correct option is (d) 102 micrometer

For explanation: The capillary diameter for red cell count is 72 um and the dilution factor is 63,000. For white cells, the diameter is 102 um, and the dilution factor is 630. For platelet count, the diameter of the capillary is 72 um and a dilution of 6300 is used.
