A

37-55%

38
Q

What is the normal PCV for cats?

A

30-45%

39
Q

What are the 2 classifications of Anemia?

A
  • regenerative
  • non-regenerative
40
Q

What is Regenerative Anemia?

A
  • increased:
  • reticulocytes
  • nucleated RBC
  • Howell Jolly Bodies
  • Anisocytosis
  • Polychromasia
  • indicates bone marrow has responded to demand for RBCs
  • increases production of RBCs
41
Q

What is Non-Regenerative Anemia?

A
  • decreased production of RBCs
  • caused by inadequate production of RBCs by the bone marrow
42
Q

What are the 5 abnormal RBCs?

A
  • nucleated RBC
  • basophilic stippling
  • howell jolly bodies
  • heinz bodies
  • reticulocytes
43
Q

What are the 5 WBCs?

A
  • segmented neutrophil
  • lymphocyte
  • monocyte
  • eosinophil
  • basophil
44
Q

What are the characteristics of Segmented Neutrophil?

A

-3 to 4 lobes

45
Q

What are the characteristics of the Band Cell?

A

horseshoe nucleus

46
Q

What are the characteristics of the Hyper Segmented Neutrophil?

A

-has 5 or more lobes

47
Q

What are the characteristics of the Lymphocyte?

A

large central pallor

48
Q

What are the characteristics of the Monocyte?

A
  • has vacuoles
  • notched shaped nucleus
49
Q

A

-granules stain red

50
Q

A

-granules stain blue

51
Q

What are the functions of Segmented Neutrophil?

A
  • primary WBC in pus
  • 1st responder to trauma or bacterial infections
  • reach inflammation site in minutes
  • live only 5 days
52
Q

What are the functions of the Band Cell?

A

-indicates high demand for neutrophils during inflammatory response

53
Q

What are the functions of the Hyper Segmented Neutrophil?

A

indication of iron deficiency anemia

54
Q

What are the functions of Lymphocyte?

A
  • defends against:
    • tumors
    • bacteria
    • viruses
    • foreign invaders
55
Q

What are the functions of Monocyte?

A
  • have vacuoles used to eat foreign debris/invaders
  • if left in blood stream: Macrophage
  • die after phagocytizing
56
Q

What are the functions of Eosinophil?

A
  • primary function
  • defend agains:
    • parasites
    • allergies
  • attracted to histamines
  • neutrolizes histamines
57
Q

What are the functions of Basophil?

A
  • no real job
  • can migrate to tissue if needed
  • granules are histame and heparin used to attract eosinophil
58
Q

A

immature RBCs that contain organelles that are lost in mature cell

  • aggregate
  • punctate
59
Q

What are Aggregates?

A

A
  • unique to cats
  • contains 2 to 8 granules
  • circulate for 7 to 10 days
61
Q
