The Place where RBCs are produced is
-
Liver
-
Blood
-
Testes
-
Redbone marrow
Correct Answer
A. Redbone marrowExplanation
The correct answer is "Redbone marrow" because it is the primary site for the production of red blood cells (RBCs) in the human body. The bone marrow contains stem cells that differentiate into various blood cells, including RBCs. The liver plays a role in the breakdown and recycling of old RBCs, but it is not the place where they are produced. While blood circulates throughout the body and carries RBCs, it is not the specific site of their production. The testes are responsible for sperm production, not RBC production.Rate this question:

Gowning provides an additional barrier against contamination, especially when there is a risk of splashes or sprays. Hand washing is crucial in removing microorganisms from the hands and preventing their transfer. Therefore, all of the options mentioned (gloving, gowning, and hand washing) are considered essential components of universal precautions.Rate this question:
