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. Mycoplasma haemoncanis






2. > 10lb - PCV > 30-35% - current on vx - only indoor cat






3. Canaries - lovebirds - and chickens






4. Abnormal protein measurement in blood






5. Primary and secondary hemostasis specifically VWF and factor VIII






6. Stage 1: one organ stage 2: stage 1 + regional lymph nodes stage 3: stage 2 + all lymph nodes stage 4: stage 3 + liver and spleen stage 5: stage 4 + BM and blood






7. Liver is #1 lymphoid tissue is #2






8. Primary hemostasis and specifically plt number






9. Causes an increase in RBCs. NO EPO involved.






10. Increase at the same time






11. Aggregate






12. 15-45%; 55-85%; 0-5%; rare






13. Jugular- 20ga






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






15. Biliary stasis - carotenes - ev hemolysis






16. Plastic bag - glass bottle - syringe






17. PO






18. Eccentrocyte






19. Liver Failure - DIC






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






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






22. Stimulated by sympathetic nerves - causes constriction of smooth muscle.






23. Thrombocytes






24. Platelets stick to each other






25. Prostaglandins in cell wall - bacterial products - infectious and non-infectious inflammatory processes






26. Hypochromic






27. Affects the GI tract






28. Red






29. B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes; B are used for antibody production; T are used for hypersensitivity reactions - elimination of intracellulaar organisms - elimination of abnormal tissues






30. Detects decreases in fibrinogen and thrombin inhibition from FDPs






31. Size - shape - and number






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

37. Azurophilic granules in the cytoplasm






38. High calorie - high glucose treat (Ad or regular diet with Karo syrup poured on top)






39. 3 times






40. Not cleaning refractometer - drying of sample - inclusion of buffy coat






41. Beter distribution/transport of oxygen - do not have to cross match






42. Reticulocyte count






43. Hereditary






44. Blue granules






45. Macrocytic






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






47. Band






48. Promoters - inhibitors






49. Secondary hemostasis specifically intrinsic and common pathways






50. 2 syringe technique and multiple vacutainer tube technique
