Smudge cell?

A

AKA - basket cells are degenerative leukocytes that have ruptured

29
Q

Karyolysis?

A

a degenerative change to the nucleus that is characterized by the dissolution of the nuclear membrane

30
Q

Karyorrhexis?

A

the fragmentation of the nucleus after cell death

31
Q

Apoptosis?

A

the death of single cells by a process involving shrinkage, rapid fragmentation, and the engulfment of the fragments by neighboring cells and macrophages

32
Q

A corrected reticulocyte count is calculated by?

Problem: a dog has a PCV of 15% and an observed reticulocyte count of 15% - the normal dog 45%

A

multiplying the observed reticulocyte percentage by the observed PCV divided by the normal PCV (normal dog - 45%) (normal cat 35%) i.e.

Answer is : 15 x 15 = 225 divided by 45 = 5
5% corrected reticulocyte count

33
Q

pancytopenia?

a medical condition in which there is a reduction in the number of red and white blood cells, as well as platelets

34
Q

neutropenia?

A

a decrease in neutrophil concentration.

35
Q

thrombocytopenia?

A

the medical term for a low blood platelet count

36

A

EDTA

37
Q

A

Heparin

38
Q

A patient has severe flea infestation and shows signs of anemia. Which would be the best classification of anemia for this patient?

A

Hemorrhagic

39
Q

Hemolytic anemias?

A

the result of erthrocyte destruction within the blood, and they are usually regenerative

40
Q

Iron deficiency?

A

can be the result of a nutritionally deficient diet or from chronic blood loss

41
Q

production disorders?

A

reduced rates of erythropoiesis or defective erythropoiesis generally result in a normocytic anemia

42
Q

In evaluating a blood smear?

A

the counting area, where most of the evaluation takes place, is between the body and the feathered edge

43
Q

Platelets in mammals?

A

do not have nuclei

44
Q

Which type of sample of plasma can result in a false increases in the total protein reading?

A

lipemic sample

45
Q

Rouleaux formation?

is normal in horses and often shows RBCs appearing liked stacked coins

46
Q

What procedure must always accompany a complete blood count evaluation to determine the accuracy of the test?

A

morphological evaluation

47
Q

This platelet histogram shows?

A

normal platelet results - upward line, then slight angle down to 1 1/2 above 10 angling down to the 20 and then continuing to 27 along the bottom line

48
Q

This platelet histogram shows?

A

up, then down, with a slight upward line, then angled down to 1 1/2 inches from bottom above about 15 and slowly comes down with small rolling bumps to the 45 maybe touching bottom line

49
Q

High reticulocytes counts of more than 60,000/mL in dogs and more than 50,000/mL incats are compatible with?

hypochromasia

54

variation in cell size

57
Q

poikilocyte?

A

abnormally shaped cell

A

Autoagglutination

Rouleaux

59
Q

A technician need to calculate the absolute value of neutrophils on a blood smear. The neutrophil percentage onthe relative white blood cell count is 78%, and hte total wBC count is 6,000/uL. What is this absolute value for this patient?

A

78 x 6000 = 4680 uL

60
Q

Reticulocyte count?

A
  • add several drops of mew methylene blue to several drops of EDTAanticoagulated blood in small test tube
  • incubate for 10 min. at room temp
  • make a conventional blood smear - air dry
  • count a total of 1000 RBCs as reticulocytes which contain clumps of dark-staining aggregated organelles
  • calculate the percentage of reticulocytes by dividing the number of reticulocytes counted in previous step by 1000. A corrected reticulocyte percentage can be determined if the RBC is not available.

CRP = % reticulocytes x patient’s PCV divided by 45 (dog) or 37 (cat)

61
Q

Correct WBC count?

A

The correct WBC count = total nucleated cell count x 100 divided by nRBCs + 100

62
Q

The cells on a blood smear appear as small fragmented sections of erythrocytes. What is the term used for this abormality?

A

schistocytes

63
Q

Whole blood is composed of fluid and cells. What is the fluid component of whole blood?

A

plasma

64
Q

What is the medical term for this clinical sign of coagulopathy?

A

epistaxis? - nose bleed

65
Q

What is the full name of this test?

A

Bucca mucosa bleeding time

66
Q

What is the medical term for a decrease in the amount of platelets circulating in peripheral blood?

A

thrombocytopenia
