Review Flashcards
Variation in shapes of RBC
Poikilocytosis
Variation in sizes of RBC
Anisocytosis
Leukoerythroblastosis is not associated with
Erythroblastosis fetalis (HDN)
Procedure employs blood w/ EDTA diluted with 0.105 M NaCitrate or NSS
Modified Westergren
What is the T-cell growth factor and mast cell activating factor effect in stimulating erythroid and myeloid proliferation
Interleukin-9 or IL-9
Largest of all hematopoietic stem cells
Polyploid megakaryocyte
Which among RBC has figure of 8, loop shaped
Cabot rings
Which among cells is the earliest erythroid recognizable precursor
pronormoblast
Which of the ff mononuclear cells are w/o specific cytoplasmic granules
Lymphocytes
Which ff cell is larger than monocyte w/ irregular cell membrane with blunts and pseudopods
Megakaryoblasts
Common precursor for granulocytes, monocytes, erythrocytes and megakaryocytes
Myeloid stem cells
Rbc thinner than normal, peripheral rim of hemoglobin w/ dark Hgb containing area
Leptocytes
Disintegrating RBC
Schistocytes
Cell that has deep purple and paler nucleus
which often nearly hidden by granules
Basophils
Last nucleated cell
Orthochromic Normoblast
Hematopoietic stem cells also known as CFU- GEM expresses
CD34/CD33
Promotes differentiation and maturation of megakaryocytes
Thrombopoietin
Large cell w/ single eccentric nucleus has reticular chromatin and prominent nucleolus
Osteoblast
Nutritional deficiency of Cobalamine, due to failure of gastric mucosa produce intrinsic factors
Pernicious Anemia
During fetal life, all Rbc produce HbF, in adults, 0.2-7% are HbF
TRUE
Reticulocytopenia and ABN RBC are primary findings, ABN granulocyte are rare and less than 1% blast cell
Refractory Anemia
Acute Myelocytic Leukemia seen in
M4
Earliest Thrombopoiesis w/ overlapping lobe and small amount of basophilic cytoplasm
Megakaryoblast
Degrades fibrin clot and retract fibrinogen forms FDP
Plasmin
Content of eosinophilic specific granules toxic to parasite that neutralize heparin and release histamine
Major Basic Protein
Pathway using 2,3-BPG
Rapaport- Luebering Shunt
Cooper Cruick Shank method is for
Absolute Basophil Count
Result of PT & PTT mixing studies: mixed plasma is normal, after 1-2 hrs it is prolonged, suggestive of
Presence of FVIII inhibitor
Lab findings of DIC
increase D-dimer, increase PT/PTT, decrease platelet count
Conjugated protein serves as a vehicle of oxygen and carbon dioxide
Hemoglobin
Absorbance of spectrophotometer for determining Hgb using HCN
540nm
Quantitative measure of Carboxy Hgb
Either (Differential spectrophotometer, gas chromatography)
Young cells w/ residual RNA polychromatophilic RBC in air dried film stained with __?
Brilliant Cresyl Blue and New Methylene Blue
Bilobed structure which recognized by size and bright red granules:
Eosinophil
Abundant blue cytoplasm, eccentric round nucleus w/ light vacuoles w/ well defined golgi zone adjacent to nucleus
Plasma Cell
1 g of Hgb carries ___ mg of Iron
3.47
Reveals pancytopenia, decrease hematopoietic cell lines resulting to low all blood levels
Aplastic Anemia
Genetically impairment of globin synthesis
Thallasemia
