Target Cells
27
What is Hematopoiesis?
production of blood cells and platelets
28
What is Erythropoiesis?
process of maturation of a Red Blood Cell
29
What is Plasma?
- contains clotting factors
- clotting factors: fibrin
30
What is Serum?
plasma with NO clotting factors
31
What is Anticoagulant?
chemicals that prevent or delay clotting factors
32
What Anticoagulant is in the Lavendar/Purple Top Tube?
EDTA
33
What Anticoagulant is in the Grey Topped Tube?
Sodium Fluoride
34
What Anticoagulant is in the Blue Topped Tube?
Sodium Citrate
35
What Anticoagulant is in the Green Topped Tube?
Neparin
36
What is a Pack Cell Volume measuring?
percent of cells in a patient's blood
37
What is the normal PCV for dogs?
37-55%
38
What is the normal PCV for cats?
30-45%
39
What are the 2 classifications of Anemia?
- regenerative
- non-regenerative
40
What is Regenerative Anemia?
- increased:
- reticulocytes
- nucleated RBC
- Howell Jolly Bodies
- Anisocytosis
- Polychromasia
- indicates bone marrow has responded to demand for RBCs
- increases production of RBCs
41
What is Non-Regenerative Anemia?
- decreased production of RBCs
- caused by inadequate production of RBCs by the bone marrow
42
What are the 5 abnormal RBCs?
- nucleated RBC
- basophilic stippling
- howell jolly bodies
- heinz bodies
- reticulocytes
43
What are the 5 WBCs?
- segmented neutrophil
- lymphocyte
- monocyte
- eosinophil
- basophil
44
What are the characteristics of Segmented Neutrophil?
-3 to 4 lobes
45
What are the characteristics of the Band Cell?
horseshoe nucleus
46
What are the characteristics of the Hyper Segmented Neutrophil?
-has 5 or more lobes
47
What are the characteristics of the Lymphocyte?
large central pallor
48
What are the characteristics of the Monocyte?
- has vacuoles
- notched shaped nucleus
49
What are the characteristics of the Eosinophils?
-granules stain red
50
What are the characteristics of the Basophil?
-granules stain blue
51
What are the functions of Segmented Neutrophil?
- primary WBC in pus
- 1st responder to trauma or bacterial infections
- reach inflammation site in minutes
- live only 5 days
52
What are the functions of the Band Cell?
-indicates high demand for neutrophils during inflammatory response
53
What are the functions of the Hyper Segmented Neutrophil?
indication of iron deficiency anemia
54
What are the functions of Lymphocyte?
- defends against:
- tumors
- bacteria
- viruses
- foreign invaders
55
What are the functions of Monocyte?
- have vacuoles used to eat foreign debris/invaders
- if left in blood stream: Macrophage
- die after phagocytizing
56
What are the functions of Eosinophil?
- primary function
- defend agains:
- parasites
- allergies
- attracted to histamines
- neutrolizes histamines
57
What are the functions of Basophil?
- no real job
- can migrate to tissue if needed
- granules are histame and heparin used to attract eosinophil
58
What are Reticulocytes?
immature RBCs that contain organelles that are lost in mature cell
- aggregate
- punctate
59
What are Aggregates?
- form large clumps of reticulum
- mature into punctate in 24hrs
60
What are Punctates?
- unique to cats
- contains 2 to 8 granules
- circulate for 7 to 10 days
61
What things will determine the volume of blood collected from patient?
- amount of plasma or serum needed
- hydration status of animal
62
What test is the Red Topped Tube for?
-serum samples
63
What test is the Serum Seperator/Tiger Topped Tube for?
serum samples
64
What test is the Lavendar/Purple Topped Tube for?
- plasma samples
- whole blood samples
65
What test is the Grey Topped Tube for?
glucose preservation
66
What test is the Blue Topped Tube for?
transfusions
67
What test is the Green Topped Tube for?
plasma samples
68
What is normal plasma color?
clear or straw
69
What is cloudy plasma?
Lipemic (fat)
70
What is reddish plasma?
hemolysis
71
What is yellow plasma?
icteric (liver disease)
72
