Solution
- The centre of long bones (diaphysis) contains bone marrow, which is a site of production of blood cells (red blood cells).
- Any severe injury to the bone marrow can affect rate of haematopoiesis (formation of blood cells).
- A low count of erythrocytes (red blood cells) is characterised as anaemia.
Hence, an injury to Priya’s long bone might have resulted in anaemia.
