(P) Week 2: Bone marrow and Lymphoid Organs Part 2 Flashcards
this is where the lymph fluid collected from tissues flows
lymph nodes
when blood flows into the capillaries, ________ leaks through them which now circulates into the lymphatic vessels
plasma
_________ filters plasma from the lymph fluid before it is returned to the general circulation
lymph nodes
what are the three layers of the lymph nodes
cortex, paracortex, and medulla
this is the germinal center of the lymph nodes where activated B-cells lie
cortex
this is the layer of the lymph node that contains t-cells and macrophages
paracortex
what does the medulla contain?
b-cells and plasma cells
what is the sample used for:
diagnosing leukemia
assess marrow function
assess iron storage
to rule out other hematological diseases
bone marrow
T or F
you may not collect bone marrow samples when there’s a quantitative issue with the platelet
F (you may because there’s only a problem with platelet amount)
T or F
Qualitatve platelet issues disqualifies a patient for a bone marrow collection procedure
T
T or F
Spleen problems is a ground for rejection for a bone marrow collection procedure
F (liver problems)
T or F
Hemophilia A and B is a contraindication to collect bone marrow
T
T or F
Vitamin C deficiency is a contraindication to collect bone marrow
F (vit K)
Enumerate the prothrombin group clotting factors that are dependent on vitamin K
CL 2,7,9, and 10
Bone Marrow specimen
Place in zenker’s fluid,
buffer-neutral formalin
and B5 fixative
Bone marrow core biopsy
how much Bone marrow aspirate must be collected
1-3 mL
this is done when there is difficulty in aspirating a sufficient amount of bone marrow aspirate
dry tap
what are the acceptable preparations of bone marrow aspirate to be submitted to a doctor upon routine staining
direct films and crush preparations
Bone Marrow specimen
Stained with either
* Romanowsky stain
* Wright-Giemsa stain
* Prussian blue stain
Bone Marrow aspirate
what anticoagulant is used in bone marrow samples?
EDTA
enumerate the process of re-clotting the bone marrow aspirate in an EDTA tube
- 0.15 M of calcium chloride
*place in fixative ex. Zenker’s formalin - submit to the histotech lab for tissue processing
instrument used to bore a hole into the bone for bone marrow collection
trephine biopsy needle
anticoagulant used for bone marrow specimens that will be undergoing routine examination
EDTA
anticoagulant used for bone marrow specimens that will be undergoing special examination
heparin
what are the 2 kinds of leukemia under special stains for blood and bone marrow
acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)
acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL)
What are the stain results for AML?
peroxidase =
sudan black b (SBB) =
tDT =
peroxidase = +
sudan black b (SBB) = +
tDT = -
What are the stain results for ALL?
peroxidase =
sudan black b (SBB) =
tDT =
peroxidase = -
sudan black b (SBB) = -
tDT = +
