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. > 10lb - PCV > 30-35% - current on vx - only indoor cat






2. Heparin - histamine - and eosinophilic chemotactic factor






3. Antigen or foreign protein






4. VWB






5. Not mixing the sample






6. Hemorrhage






7. 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)






8. Water - its function is thermoregulation - lubrication - transporter and chemical reactions






9. Diffuse cytoplasmic basophilia - dohle bodies - cytoplasmic vacuolization - toxic azurophilic granules






10. Stimulates and amplifies the coagulation cascade (or secondary hemostasis)






11. Myelodysplasia






12. 60-90 sec for dogs - <65 sec for cats






13. Liver and lymphoid tissue






14. No - but it is not ideal






15. Soluble coagulation factors - cofactors






16. Pink






17. Myelocyte; yes






18. Nulcear characteristics and cytoplasmic characteristics






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






20. Anemia






21. Primary hemostasis and specifically plt number






22. Dog






23. Slow- 0.11 ml/#/minute for the first 15 minutes






24. Immatures - hypersegmented neutrophils - pyknosis; toxic neutrophils






25. clump together






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






27. Hyperproteinemia - salt retention in CHF or iartrogenic






28. Ghost cell






29. Vacuoles in cytoplasm with foaminess- can see pits on 100x






30. Dog






31. Thrombocytopenia






32. Obs = # retics/1000 x 100 COR = (Pt PCV/ Average PCV) x observed % Abs = # retics/1000 x RBC ct






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






34. CBC






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






36. Prothrombinase






37. don't cause clots






38. PCV - RBC - Hb - Retic Ct - Morphology - Indices MCV - MCHC - MCH






39. Morbillivirus sp






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






41. Right shift; greater than 5 lobes






42. Agglutination or hemolysis






43. In bone marrow; metamyelocytes and bands






44. Increase in RBCs






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






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






47. Iatrogenic






48. VWB






49. Increase at the same time






50. Cytoplasm appears to have a more blue color than usual
