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. Acanthocytes






2. blood






3. Neutrophil - eosinophil - basophil






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






5. Macrocytosis - Microcytosis






6. A - B - AB - most cats are type A






7. 5-7






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






9. Maintains osmotic pressure






10. Increased concentration: dehydration






11. Adequate size and WBC distribution






12. 7-10 days






13. Hyperproteinemia - salt retention in CHF or iartrogenic






14. No - but it is not ideal






15. Increase






16. Deep basophilic cytoplasm with a perinuclear halo; mammals and exotics in peripheral blood smears






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






18. lymphosarcoma






19. Jar 1- fixative- 5 one second dips jar 2 -eosinophilc - 5 one second dips jar 3 - basophilic - 7-10 one second dips






20. Hemorrhage- good for oxygen increasing and volume expansion






21. 1.000






22. 60-70 -30-36






23. Pink






24. Antigen or foreign protein






25. Heparin which prevents conversion of prothrombin to thrombin






26. 50:50%; 0-5%; rare






27. Liver and lymphoid tissue






28. Sick stressed cats due to lack of enzymes






29. Cow






30. Prothrombinase






31. PO - IV - SQ - IP - IO






32. Inconsistent - small - and irregular






33. Basophilic stippling






34. Clot that breaks off from its origin place and lodges somewhere else






35. Common Common Pathway Substances: Prothrombin > _______






36. Mix equal parts of EDTA whole blood and NMB -Incubate 10-20 min -Make Blood Film -View on 100x -Count 1000 RBC - tally retics






37. Heparin - histamine - and eosinophilic chemotactic factor






38. VIII and vWB






39. Contact activation






40. Myelocyte; yes






41. Thrombopathias and vascular






42. PCV - TP - Plasma evaluation in conjunction with LTT






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






44. Anaplasma marginale






45. Oval with raisin-like nucleus






46. Lrg clusters of plasma cells in BM aspirate -lytic bone lesion -monoclonal gammopathy -bence jones proteinuria






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






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






49. Trypanosoma sp






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