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. Hemoproteus spp






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






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






4. Echinocytes






5. Proximal humerus - proximal femur - crest and wing of ilium - sternum and dorsal ends of ribs






6. Hypochromic






7. Use simplate device to make an incision into upper lip - start timer - using filter paper dab site (dont wipe) every 10 seconds until bleeding stops. Normal range: 1-3min in dogs and cats






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






9. 200 -000-500 -000/microliter; 200 -000-500 -000/microliter






10. 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






11. Red






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






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






14. 50:50%; 0-5%; rare






15. clump together






16. 1.1 - 1.2 - and 7






17. 72 hours; thrombocytopenia; no; because the platelets aggregate






18. 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






19. CBC






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






21. Blood glucose






22. Nuclear and cytoplasmic






23. Blue granules






24. Megakaryocyte






25. Band neutrophil






26. Recycle old RBCs - engulf bacteria - clean up any major messes






27. Liver






28. Acid citrate dextrose (21 days) - citrate phosphate dextrose (21 days) - citrate phosphate dextrose with adenine (35 days)






29. Iron deficiencies and Japanese Akitas






30. Immatures - hypersegmented neutrophils - pyknosis; toxic neutrophils






31. Thrombocytes






32. Liver Failure - DIC






33. Thrombocytopenia






34. Factor VIII and von Willibrand (vWB) factor by endothelial cells






35. blood






36. Budding and Cytoplasmic Demarkation






37. Sodium citrate Which binds with calcium to prevent coagulation






38. Hyperproteinemia - salt retention in CHF or iartrogenic






39. PCV - TP - Plasma evaluation - directly from patient






40. Shaking - too small needle with too much negative back pressure - rocker tray too long - water in syringe - freezing and thawing - squirting into tube - spinning too fast or too long






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






42. Blood gases






43. 3 times






44. Increase loss of RBCs - Increase destruction - and decrease production






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






46. Immediate hypersensitivity or delayed hypersensitivity






47. normally very balanced activators vs inhibitors






48. segmented nucleus






49. Size - shape - color - and +/- inclusions






50. Green
