Exam 19 Flashcards
A red blood cell with nucleus would be a
Ethryoblast
A stem cell type can differentiate into either WBC or RBC:
Hemocytoblast
A white blood cell type that would be increased in allergic or parasitic conditions:
Eosinphil
Aging or damaged RBC’s are removed most by the:
Spleen
All the circulating red blood cells in an adult originate in the
Bone marrow
An abnormally low WBC count:
Leukopenia
Another name for circulating non-nucleated red blood cell:
Erythrocyte
Another name for a white blood cell is:
Leukocyte
Bilirubin results from the breakdown of:
Erythrocytes
Blood cell antigens are located in/on the:
Cell membrane
Blood cell production is stimulated by the hormone:
Erythropoietin
Hemoglobin affinity (attraction) for oxygen is highest in:
The fetus
Your patient’s bone marrow is working hard to keep up with RBC demand. You actually find a few ____________ on his blood analysis.
Reticulocytes
MCV=mean corpuscular volume MCHC=mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration.
Your patient has a very low hematocrit, low RBC count, high MCV, and low MCHC. You would suspect:
Loss of RBC through hemorrhage or hemolysis
More than 95 percent of the protein in a red blood cell is
Hemoglobin
Most threatening for a newborn due to Rh factor:
Rh positive father
Plasma proteins are produced in the:
Liver
The WBC that releases histamine and heparin when degranulated:
Basophils
The WBC that rises the quickest in response to a bacterial infection:
Neutrophils
The __________ develop from megakaryocytes.
Platelets
The average life span of red blood cell is:
4 months
The biggest difference between interstitial fluid and plasma is that plasma has:
More proteins
This blood cell is also known as polymorphonucleocyte because of the segmented nucleus and has tiny neutral pink (not red or dark blue) staining
Neutrophil
The blood type most valued by hospitals due to being from “universal donors”
O
The cell type that produces antibodies
Lymphocytes
The extrinsic coagulation pathway starts:
Outside the blood stream
The inactivation and clumping by antibodies and antigens is referred to as:
Aggluination
The inorganic ion necessary for hemoglobin formation:
Iron
The most abundant plasma protein is:
Albumin
The patient has a high hematocrit, a high total protein level, and high albumin level. The most common cause would be:
Dehydration
The patient now has leukocytosis and neutrophils in his CBC, this would indicate probably as:
Bacterial infection
The plasma protein involved in the clotting process:
Fibrinogen
The vitamin most essential for blood clotting:
K
Injections of EPO often seen in “doping” in endurance athletes, may cause a stroke due to:
Polycythemia
Lymphocytes spend most of their time:
Migrating through the body tissues
Your patient is running a low fever and has severely crackles and wheezes in his lungs. It has been going on for a week.
RBC-slightly high
WBC-slightly high
Neutrophils-very high
Lymphocytes-low normal
Bands-moderate
this could be best referred to as a:
Left shift
Your other patient has a leukopenia, high fever, and a possible abdominal abscess. When you look at her CBC, you see a moderate number of bands and even a few metamyelocytes. This is known as:
Left shift
Your patient has an elevated hematocrit. This means he has a higher:
Proportion of RBC’s
The largest WBC, often increase in chronic infections:
Monocyte
Choose three blood cells that are phagocytic.
- Eosinophils
- Neutrophils
- Monocytes
Bilirubinemia (too much bilirubin in the blood) can result from the following two scenarios.
- Excess red blood cell breakdown
- Cirrhosis-scarring of the liver and bile system
Which of the following are granulocytes?
-Eosinophils
-Neutrophils
-Basophils
