Blood Drills Flashcards
True or False: All blood cells originate from pluripotent stem
cells.
True or False: The kidney excretes bilirubin.
True or False: Neonatal anemia disappears as the kidney
matures.
True or False: Leukocytes can be divided into three major
groups.
True or False: Lymphocytes are the largest leukocytes.
True or False: Monocytes that migrate to infected tissues are
called wandering macrophages.
True or False: Inflammation causes an increase in the hematocrit.
True or False: Neutrophils are granulocytes.
True or False: Plasma proteins are confined to blood.
True or False: The extrinsic pathway of blood clotting is more complex than the intrinsic pathway.
True or False: The breaking up of a blood clot is called clot
retraction.
True or False: Blood clotting always results in the formation of
embolus.
True or False: Heparin is produced by mast cells.
True or False: A blood clot that is transported by the
bloodstream is called a thrombus.
True or False: Agglutinins are also called antibodies.
True or False: Cyanosis is caused by too many leukocytes in the
blood.
True or False: The production of red blood cells is closely linked
to the carbon dioxide-carrying capacity of the
blood. If this is low, the red bone marrow makes a
hormone called erythroheparin to increase the
number of RBCs.
True or False: Pluripotent stem cells are special cells in the red
bone marrow that have the potential to become
any of the seven formed elements.
True or False: Being type AB means you either have the A or B
antigens but not both
True or False: Plasma constitutes about 55% of the blood
volume.
True or False: Mature erythrocytes can reproduce.
True or False:
True or False: In a bone marrow transport it is necessary to inject
the new bone marrow into the bone.
True or False: At low doses, aspirin enhances vasoconstriction
and platelet aggregation.
True or False: In practice, the use of the terms universal recipient
and universal donor in blood typing is misleading
and dangerous.
True or False: Smoking increases blood fibrinogen levels which
leads to an increased clotting risk.
True or False: Regular physical activity decreases plasma volume
thus increasing clotting abilities when injured.
Collective erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets
are called the ____ elements of blood.
The branch of science concerned with the study of
blood is called _________.
The three functions of blood are transportation,
regulation, and _______.
Blood belongs to ____ tissue.
Another name for globulins is __________.
The process of blood cell formation is called ____.
The pigment that carries oxygen in red blood cells
is ____.
The protein portion of hemoglobin is _____.
Erythrocyte formation is called ____.
Surface proteins on nucleated cells that can be
used to identify tissues for transplantation are
_______.
The function of platelets is ____.
When platelets accumulate and attach they form a
mass called the ____.
The breaking of a blood clot is called ____.
The surface of red blood cells contains antigens
called ____.
Individuals with type A blood have ____ antibodies
in the plasma.
The Rh system of blood classification was first
discovered in the blood of the ____.
The hemolysis caused by fetal-maternal
incompatibility is called ____.
A condition in which the oxygen-carrying capacity
of the blood is reduced is called ____.
Bleeding, either internal or external is referred to
as ____.
Septicemia is the medical term for ____.
The release of hemoglobin into the blood as a
result of red blood cell rupture is called ____.
During blood clotting prothrombin is converted
into the enzyme ____.
Plasma minus the clotting proteins is called ____.
Contain hemoglobin.
Release lysozyme.
Produce antibodies.
Become wandering macrophages.
