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. G/ld - rounded to the nearest 0.2






2. Normocytic






3. 5 minutes at 6000 rpm






4. Ehrlichia sp.






5. Increase at the same time






6. Structural matrix - ground work for a cell - acts as transporters and carriers






7. (Hb x 100)/ PCV






8. Primary granules; no






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






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






11. Oval with raisin-like nucleus






12. 1 year; bleeding disorders (hemophila) - gives passive immunity (Parvo)






13. Free or Unbound TPO






14. 2 syringe technique and multiple vacutainer tube technique






15. Compensatory mechanisms






16. Cat






17. Fuzzy - hairy - appear to have tentacle or strings coming off of it which means they are reactive platelets






18. Heparin and 3.8% Na Citrate






19. clump together






20. Cytauxzoon sp.






21. Cow






22. 3-6%






23. Blue-grey inclusion in the cytoplasm that is irregular in shape






24. WBC- defense - RBC- O2 transport - Plts- platelet plug






25. Band






26. Membrane bound package of chemicals






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






28. Low - it takes 6-12 months to build up






29. Perform 2 or more of the test






30. Mycoplasma haemoncanis






31. WBC distribution - platelet clumping - abnormal cells - and microfilaria






32. Round to oval nucleus with smudged chromatin; high N:C






33. Lymphocyte; resting memory cell; in lymph nodes






34. Blood gases






35. Jugular- 20ga






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






37. Thrombocytes






38. Blue






39. (Hb x 10)/RBC






40. EDTA blood causes mycoplasma to fall off of RBCs making it harder to see.






41. Primary hemostasis and plt number






42. 35 days if kept at 1-6 degrees celsius in CPDA; oxygen carrying capacity - anemic normovolemic - anemic hypovolemic in conjunction with crystalloids






43. Increase loss: hemorrhage - decrease production: liver failure - decrease consumption: starvation






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






45. Secondary hemostasis specifically intrinsic and common pathways






46. Agglutination or hemolysis






47. IV catheter; IO or IP






48. Biliary stasis - carotenes - ev hemolysis






49. Primary hemostasis






50. Primary hemostasis and specifically plt number
