Test your basic knowledge |

Veterinary Hematology Technology

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Metamyelocyte






2. The fluid portion of anticoagulated blood






3. Sick stressed cats due to lack of enzymes






4. Not making blood film ASAP - glucocorticoids - inherited






5. Oxyglobin






6. Heparin and 3.8% Na Citrate






7. In bone marrow; matures - +/- bands






8. Brown-gold inclusions due to iron deposits within the cytoplasm






9. Peripheral Blood - Bone Marrow






10. 39-55 -30-36






11. Less reactions - more cost effective - better use of donors






12. BTT






13. Leukocytosis with increased bands; leukopenia or degenerative left shift






14. Diffuse cytoplasmic basophilia - dohle bodies - cytoplasmic vacuolization - toxic azurophilic granules






15. Stage 1: one organ stage 2: stage 1 + regional lymph nodes stage 3: stage 2 + all lymph nodes stage 4: stage 3 + liver and spleen stage 5: stage 4 + BM and blood






16. Immediate hypersensitivity or delayed hypersensitivity






17. Jugular- 20ga






18. Petechia - ecchymosis - bleeding from mm - bleeding out after venipuncture






19. Anaplasma marginale






20. Platelets stick to each other






21. Cow






22. doesn't last that long






23. Poikilocytosis






24. > 10lb - PCV > 30-35% - current on vx - only indoor cat






25. Platelets develop filopodia with receptors and vWB - which causes them to stick to subendothelial collagen. As soon as they stick - they start releasing their granular contents






26. No - but it is not ideal






27. Extrinsic - Intrinsic - common






28. TPR - MM - CRT - PCV - TP






29. Prothrombin time






30. Macrocytosis - Microcytosis






31. Immatures - hypersegmented neutrophils - pyknosis; toxic neutrophils






32. Small quantities - more fragile cells -RBC are nucleated -Thrombocytes instead of platelets -Polychromasia is common -Heterophils replace neutrophils -Basophils are non segmented






33. VWB factor






34. Must be >50lbs -PCV >40% - current on vx - mellow temperment






35. Howell-Jolly Bodies






36. FDP's (Fibrin Degredation Products)






37. 3 times






38. Horse






39. Yes b/c they spill into the bloodstream






40. To avoid introduction of tissue thromboplastin in your sample and clotting






41. Size - shape - and number






42. ITP -DIC -Marrow problem (or kidney failure)






43. Vasoconstriction and further platelet aggregation (overall goal is to get more platelets to that area)






44. Megakaryocyte






45. normally very balanced activators vs inhibitors






46. Membrane bound package of chemicals






47. 1.1 - 1.2 - and 7






48. Postprandial (patient just ate) - hypothyroid - diabetes mellitus






49. Nonimmunologic and immunologic; immunologic






50. Common Common Pathway Substances: Prothrombin > _______
