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. hereditary or acquired






2. Thrombocytopenia






3. 55-85%; 15-45%; 0-5%; rare






4. Deficiency of vitamin K - Liver Dz/Failure - DIC






5. Inconsistent - small - and irregular






6. Fixative- 3 1 sec dips - Eosinophilic- 5 1 sec dips - Basophilic- 10-20 dips






7. don't cause clots






8. Maintains osmotic pressure






9. Lymphocyte; resting memory cell; in lymph nodes






10. 35 days if kept at 1-6 degrees celsius in CPDA; oxygen carrying capacity - anemic normovolemic - anemic hypovolemic in conjunction with crystalloids






11. Ad: speedy collection - no exchange of glass into blood; dis: cell trauma d/t vacuum - breakable - glass activates coagulation factors - component separation more difficult






12. Concentration of proteins reflects a balance b/w filtration into tissues then a return of proteing in the lymphatic system






13. Mycoplasma haemofelis (hemobartonella felis)






14. (Hb x 100)/ PCV






15. B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes; B are used for antibody production; T are used for hypersensitivity reactions - elimination of intracellulaar organisms - elimination of abnormal tissues






16. Iatrogenic






17. Band neutrophil






18. Partial thromboplastin time - prothrombin time - VWF test - thrombin time - FDPs






19. 1.1 - 1.2 - and 7






20. Jugular vein- 22ga - cephalic vein- 25ga - femoral vein- 25ga






21. Blood gases






22. Ameboid nucleus with lacy chromatin; +/- vacuoles; low N:C






23. High calorie - high glucose treat (Ad or regular diet with Karo syrup poured on top)






24. 2 syringe technique and multiple vacutainer tube technique






25. Green






26. Heterophil






27. Lymphocyte - monocyte






28. 2 gtts donor RBC suspension and 2 gtts recipient plasma






29. Blood chemistries






30. .98mls to .02mls






31. Cutaneous ulnar vein (raptors/fowl)- <25ga - medial metatarsal vein- <25ga - jugular- <25ga






32. Howell-Jolly Bodies






33. Platelets stick to each other






34. Liver and lymphoid tissue






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






36. Ad: non-breakable - no vacuum - no activation of coagulation factors - component separation is easier; dis: migration of plastic into blood - slower collection






37. Blast: lrg cell - mature: sm. cell - mixed: seen in horses commonly






38. EDTA because you wont have stainging variation






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






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






41. Microcytic






42. 60-90 sec for dogs - <65 sec for cats






43. IV catheter; IO or IP






44. Free or Unbound TPO






45. They are only circulating in the blood for 2 hours (they leave bone marrow when mature - circulate for 2 hours - go to tissue and turn into macrophages)






46. Hemophila A and VWD- maintenance






47. DIC - Warfarin toxication; within 6 hours; platelets and clotting factors






48. Jugular- 20ga






49. Genetic material in the nucleus






50. 50:50%; 0-5%; rare
