UCP2.04 Bad Blood Practice Test

The main idea here is understanding how red blood cell size is categorized using the mean corpuscular volume (MCV). Normocytic means the cells are normal in size, with an MCV typically in the 80–100 femtoliters range. So the red blood cells are not too small (microcytic) and not too large (macrocytic). The other descriptors refer to size deviations or to the number of cells, not their size: smaller than normal would be microcytic, larger than normal would be macrocytic, and fewer cells describes quantity rather than size.
