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






2. Circulating pool; mature granulocytes; 6-8 hours






3. (Hb x 10)/RBC






4. Black ring has a smaller diameter






5. Plt estimate - plt count - BMBT - ACT






6. Liver






7. Primary Hemostasis- plt plug - Secondary Hemostasis- fibrin clot - Fibrinolysis- breakdown of clot






8. For smaller animals with small volumes collected






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






10. Heinz body






11. Russel bodies in cytoplasm - constipated plasma cell - honeycomb appearing; only seen in birds and reptiles






12. Microcytic






13. Fibrin






14. oval






15. Right shift; greater than 5 lobes






16. Heparin and 3.8% Na Citrate






17. Adequate size and WBC distribution






18. Canaries - lovebirds - and chickens






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






20. Not mixing upon intro - slow draw - dinking around - traumatic venipuncture






21. Hereditary






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






23. 100






24. B/c eos produce anti histamine to counteract the histamine i the mast cell granules






25. Amount is the same it just looks different (ex fish pond)






26. Eccentric nucleus with low N:C ratio - very clear perinuclear halo; only seen in birds and reptiles






27. 72 hours; thrombocytopenia; no; because the platelets aggregate






28. segmented nucleus






29. New Anemia -Decrease production anemia






30. Hemoproteus spp






31. Whatever the bird weighs - 1% of that body weight is what you can safely draw (Ex- 3 ml from a 300g bird)






32. Nutrients - minerals - hormones - and proteins all maintain homeostasis. electrolytes do action potentials. and enzymes function is catalyst.






33. It does not contain an anticoagulant ;) so the blood will clot.






34. Horse






35. 39-55 -30-36






36. Howell-Jolly Bodies






37. VWB






38. Azurophilic granules in the cytoplasm






39. Not mixing the sample






40. Fill a DET tube - gently mix - set timer - keep in warm spot - check tube every 10 sec until clot forms stop timer






41. In bone marrow; myeloblasts - promyelocytes - myelocytes






42. EDTA Which binds with calcium preventing coagulation






43. Shaking - too small a needle with too much neg. back pressure - intravascular hemolysis






44. Immediate hypersensitivity or delayed hypersensitivity






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






46. Anaplasma marginale






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






48. Hypoxia






49. Trypanosoma sp






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