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:
