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. Reticulocyte count






2. Target cell






3. Red (hemolytic) - yellow (icteric) - and white (lipemic)






4. 2 gtts donor RBC suspension and 2 gtts recipient plasma






5. Sodium citrate Which binds with calcium to prevent coagulation






6. 60-70 -30-36






7. Acanthocytes






8. High - because hormones trigger a hyper immune state.






9. Calculated a corrected WBC ct.






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






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






12. Macrocytic






13. Protrusion will be very dark in color






14. Nulcear characteristics and cytoplasmic characteristics






15. Hemolysis and clot






16. Sepsis - disease transmission - allergic reactions to foreign proteins - circulatory overload - hypothermia






17. Von Willebrand's Disease






18. Rouleaux or agglutination






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






20. Abnormal protein measurement in blood






21. PPSC differentiates into a rubriblast -Increase in hemoglobin synthesis -Early release of immature RBCs if needed






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






23. Leptocyte






24. Bleed them out






25. Red






26. Morbillivirus sp






27. Swine - 3-3.5 inches long






28. Stomatocyte






29. FDP's (Fibrin Degredation Products)






30. Less reactions - more cost effective - better use of donors






31. Affects the GI tract






32. Roughened endothelium - protein C deficiency - and nephrotic syndrome






33. Grey






34. Adhesion - Aggregation - Secretion






35. Enzymes and non enzymes factors - -calcium - tissue factors - vitamins






36. Ad: non-breakable - no vacuum - no activation of coagulation factors - component separation is easier; dis: migration of plastic into blood - slower collection






37. doesn't last that long






38. Actually fibrinogen increases before WBCs increase






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






40. PPSC - Rubriblast - Prorubricyte - Rubricyte - Metarubricyte - Polychromatophilic - Mature RBC






41. Liver is #1 lymphoid tissue is #2






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






43. Plt estimate - plt count - BMBT - ACT






44. No - but it is not ideal






45. Heparin which prevents conversion of prothrombin to thrombin






46. Seg






47. For smaller animals with small volumes collected






48. blood






49. Black ring has a smaller diameter






50. 2 gtts donor plasma and 2 gtts recipient RBC suspension
