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. Acid citrate dextrose (21 days) - citrate phosphate dextrose (21 days) - citrate phosphate dextrose with adenine (35 days)






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






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






4. PSS; RBC wash; removes non-erythrocytic antigens from blood






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






6. oval






7. Agglutination or hemolysis






8. Perform 2 or more of the test






9. Mean Corpuscular Hb Concentration - gives us the amount of Hb






10. Microcytic






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






12. Size - shape - and number






13. Von Willebrand's Disease






14. Acute- DIC - ruptured spleen - chronic- GI ulcers






15. EDTA because you wont have stainging variation






16. Inconsistent - small - and irregular






17. Antigen or foreign protein






18. Liver and lymphoid tissue






19. Promoters - inhibitors






20. Torocytes






21. BLV - bovine leukemia virus






22. Genetic material in the nucleus






23. Primary granules; no






24. Seg






25. Heterophil






26. Bleed them out






27. PO - IV - SQ - IP - IO






28. PPSC - Rubriblast - Prorubricyte - Rubricyte - Metarubricyte - Polychromatophilic - Mature RBC






29. 5-7






30. PCV - TP - skin tugor - CRT






31. High - because hormones trigger a hyper immune state.






32. 1 year; bleeding disorders (hemophila) - gives passive immunity (Parvo)






33. Non regenerative - unexplained leukopenia - unexplained thrombocytopenia - presence of abnormal immature cells in peripheral blood






34. 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)






35. Basophils






36. Nulcear characteristics and cytoplasmic characteristics






37. Large amounts to be effective - not long lasting - pricey






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






39. Primary Hemostasis - platelet plug -Stimulate Secondary Hemostasis - Fibrin clot -Secrete






40. 10mls/# every 3 weeks; 5mls/# every 3-4 weeks






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






42. Biliary stasis - carotenes - ev hemolysis






43. Saline wash






44. Lymphocyte; they clone themselves before they die






45. Bone marrow toxin - kidney failure - iron defiency






46. BTT






47. Neutrophil; 6 hours; 2-2.5x






48. Round to oval; ameboid






49. Myelocyte; yes






50. Hypoxia w/o anemia and glucocorticoids
