32
Q

Store excess iron in a form of

A

FERRITIN (soluble) & HEMOSIDIRIN (Insoluble)

33
Q

What is the reference range of serum ferritin for men and women

A

15-200 ug/dl (men)
12-150 ug/dl (women)

-serum ferritin reveals the body’s tissue iron stores

34
Q

in cases where the patient should only have one test to determine if the patient is having iron deficiency anemia, what would be the best test ?

A

Serum Ferritin test

35
Q

indirectly measure the concentration of transferrin by measuring its ability to bind iron

A

Total Iron binding capacity

Reference range: 250-450ug/dl

36
Q

main component of the red blood cell

  • composed of 2 sets of 2 different polypeptide chains
  • 4 molecules of protoporphyrin IX
  • 4 iron atoms in its ferrous form
A

HEMOGLOBIN

37
Q

carries deoxygen from the lungs
