UNIT 1 ROUTINE TESTS Flashcards
is performed on automated blood cell analyzers and includes the RBC, WBC, and platelet measurements
COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT
tethering (decelerating) platelets during times of injury
ENDOTHELIAL CELL
may collect blood for cbc
- medical laboratory professional
- Phlebotomist
- Nurse
- Physician assistant
- Physician

stain used in BLOOD FILM EXAMINATION
Wright or Wright-Giemsa stain
Storage site of some cytokines involved in hemostasis
Endothelial cells
enabling WBCs to escape from the vessel to the
surrounding tissue when needed
ENDOTHELIAL CELL
structural and do not flow in the bloodstream
ENDOTHELIAL CELL
second component of hemostasis
Plasma coagulation
The specimen must be tested or prepared for storage
within the appropriate time frame to ensure accurate
analysis and must be accurately registered in the work list,
a process known as
specimen accession.
endodermal cells that form inner surface of blood vessels
ENDOTHELIAL CELL
Maintenance of normal blood flow
Endothelial cells
Systematically review, identify, and tabulate how many
WBCs to determine their percent distribution
100 (or more)
Laboratory Test for coagulation
- PT (Prothrombin time)
- APTT (activated partial thromboplastin time)
- Fibirinogen assay
- D-dimer assay
provides a series of plasma-based and whole blood
laboratory assays that assess plasma proteins and their
interactions with hematologic cells
COAGULATION
key component of hemostasis
Platelets
