41
Q

the literal meaning of hematology

A

Study of blood

  • Greek words
      • “haima” = “blood”
      • “logos” = “study”, “science”
42
Q

T/F:
in the 1920s the study of diseases related to alterations in blood cell number or appearance was not a branch of clinical medicine & pathology

A

FALSE

- it WAS a branch of clinical medicine & pathology

43
Q

the study of normal & abnormal development, physiology, function, and death/destruction of the formed elements in the blood

A

Clinical hematology

- does not have a single basic science as foundation

44
Q

T/F:

modern labs encompass the study of hemostatic mechanisms, hemorrhagic diseases, and thrombosis

A

TRUE

- modern labs = research labs & clinical labs

45
Q

main arts of the blood

a. liquid
- plasma

b. formed elements

46
Q

routine tests performed in the hematology section of the lab

A

a. blood counts
- CBC
- WBC ct.
- RBC ct.
- platelet ct.

b. hematocrit
c. blood glucose

47
Q

primary services offered by hematology/hemostasis labs

A
  • specimen collection/preparation for exams
  • quantitative manual/instrumental measurement of cells
  • measurement of cell volumes
  • evaluation of cell contents/components
  • cellular ID according to:
      • morphology
      • cytochemical markers
      • cell surface markers
  • ID of reactive/neoplastic alterations in cell populations
  • evaluation of cell development & formation (bone marrow)
  • evaluation of hemostatic function
48
