Single function switches are the most commonly used adaptive switches. This type of switch performs one function (i.e., on/off) this switch has only one function - on or off. The switch may only be in one of the states at any one moment in time. Multiple function switches may perform two or more functions.
Echinocytes and keratocytes should be considered in the differential diagnosis of spur cell anemia. Echinocytes or burr cells are spiculated red blood cells with uniform, narrow, spikelike surface projections. Spur cells have fewer spicules, and the spicules vary more in size than echinocytes. Keratocytes are acanthocytelike cells with bizarre shapes and horny projections. Differential Diagnoses.
