My query is from Biofeedback Instrumentation topic in chapter Biomedical Recorders of Biomedical Instrumentation

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) Mean Platelet Volume

To elaborate: Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) is the ratio of the integrated platelet volume to the platelet count and is expressed in femolitres. Red Cell Distribution Width is a numerical expression of the width of the size distribution of red cells. Platelet Distribution Width is related to the size range covered by those platelets lying between the sixteenth and eighty fourth percentile.
