Blood cell morphology ect.. Flashcards
1
Q
Hematology
A
- Study of blood and blood disorders
2
Q
Hematopoiesis
A
- Maintenance of cell population
3
Q
Intramedullary Hematopoiesis:
A
- Within the bone marrow
4
Q
Extramedullary Hematopoiesis:
A
- Outside of the bone marrow
Liver and spleen Compensate in increased demands
5
Q
Stem cell pool
A
Stored stem cells for hematopoiesis in the bone marrow
6
Q
Marginating storage pools:
A
- Neutrophils stored lined in the walls of blood vessels
7
Q
Splenectomy
A
- Surgical removal of the spleen
○ Enlarged, infracted or injured
○ Reduced function of the spleen
Liver will take over some of its functions
8
Q
Hyperplasia
A
Increase from the normal M:E ratio
9
Q
Hypoplasia
A
Decrease from the normal M:E ratio
10
Q
Anisocytosis
A
- Size
- Anemia + leukemia
Abnormal level of iron, B12, folic acid
- Anemia + leukemia
11
Q
Poikilocytosis
A
Shape
12

- ESR
- Reticulocyte
- INR
- PT
- APTTl
- Fibrinogen
- D.dimer
- Semen analysis
Bone marrow
13
Q
Lavender Tube
A
- EDTA
- Room temp
8 hrs stable
- Room temp
14
Q
Light Blue (citrate)
A
- PT/INR = room temp
- APTT = run w/I 4 hours or 2 if heparin
- Fibrinogen
- D.Dimer
15
Q
Blood composition
A
- 55% plasma
- 44% RBC
1% WBC
- 44% RBC
16
Q
Plasma composition
A
- 91.5% H2O
- 8.5% solutes
○ Albumin - 55%
○ Globulins - 38%
○ Fibrinogen - 7%
Misc (electrolytes, hormones, gases)
- 8.5% solutes
17
Q
Average blood volume
A
- 4 to 6 L
- 8% of body weight
18
Q
Examples of blood disorders
A
- Anemia
○ Bone marrow expand production of RBC 6-8 times in anemic events
○ Releasing more immature RBC than normal- Leukemia
- Lymphoma
- Morphological abnormalities of the peripheral blood cells
