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. Coagulation studies






2. Myelodysplasia






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






4. Primary Hemostasis- plt plug - Secondary Hemostasis- fibrin clot - Fibrinolysis- breakdown of clot






5. 2 gtts donor plasma and 2 gtts recipient RBC suspension






6. Thrombocytosis






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






8. Partial thromboplastin time - prothrombin time - VWF test - thrombin time - FDPs






9. Nulcear characteristics and cytoplasmic characteristics






10. Primary Hemostasis - platelet plug -Stimulate Secondary Hemostasis - Fibrin clot -Secrete






11. Compensatory mechanisms






12. Canaries - lovebirds - and chickens






13. Left shift - regenerative left shift - or inflammatory leukogram






14. Body - monolayer - and feathered edge






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






16. G/ld - rounded to the nearest 0.2






17. Vascular part - platelet plug






18. Sick stressed cats due to lack of enzymes






19. Uncontrolled growth arising from blood or blood forming organs






20. Oval with raisin-like nucleus






21. Metamyelocyte






22. Circulating pool; mature granulocytes; 6-8 hours






23. BLV - bovine leukemia virus






24. Black ring has a smaller diameter






25. (Hb x 100)/ PCV






26. Primary hemostasis






27. > 10lb - PCV > 30-35% - current on vx - only indoor cat

29. 2 gtts donor RBC suspension and 2 gtts donor plasma






30. Primary hemostasis and plt number






31. Sodium citrate Which binds with calcium to prevent coagulation






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






33. Right shift; greater than 5 lobes






34. Rouleaux or agglutination






35. Ameboid nucleus with lacy chromatin; +/- vacuoles; low N:C






36. Small quantities - more fragile cells -RBC are nucleated -Thrombocytes instead of platelets -Polychromasia is common -Heterophils replace neutrophils -Basophils are non segmented






37. Jar 1- wright's stain - set slide in jar for 1 min - jar 2 - buffer with 1 pipette of wright's stain- set slide in jar for 1 min - jar 3 - distille water - dip slide into jar 7-10 one sec dips

43. Maintains osmotic pressure






44. Cat






45. Liver Failure - DIC






46. If buffer gets into the stain jar the slide will not stain correctly


47. 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






48. Common Common Pathway Substances: Prothrombin > _______






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