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. Anterior vena cava- 16ga 3-3.5 inches - ear vein- 21ga butterfly






2. 35 days if kept at 1-6 degrees celsius in CPDA; oxygen carrying capacity - anemic normovolemic - anemic hypovolemic in conjunction with crystalloids






3. Red ring and black ring hematocrit tubes






4. Test for fibrinolysis specifically the amount of FDP






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






6. Right shift; greater than 5 lobes






7. 5 -000 -000-10 -000 -000/microliter; 5 -000 -000-11 -000 -000/microliter






8. present in the blood






9. Hyperchromic






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






11. Blood loss and dehydration






12. segmented nucleus






13. Contact activation






14. 37-55% - 30-45%






15. Sick stressed cats due to lack of enzymes






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






17. (PCV x 10)/RBC






18. Polycythemia vera and erthodysplasia






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






20. Dark purple-magenta granular inclusions in the cytoplasm; endotoxins - toxicemia






21. Neutrophil - eosinophil - basophil






22. Fuzzy - hairy - appear to have tentacle or strings coming off of it which means they are reactive platelets






23. Increased concentration: dehydration






24. Increased concentration of amount of RBC ex: dehydration or splenic contraction






25. Cellular - acellular - and fluid






26. Ad: speedy collection - no exchange of glass into blood; dis: cell trauma d/t vacuum - breakable - glass activates coagulation factors - component separation more difficult






27. Macrocytosis






28. Genetic material in the nucleus






29. Deficiency of vitamin K - Liver Dz/Failure - DIC






30. (Hb x 10)/RBC






31. Prothrombinase






32. Red ring - blue ring - and black ring tubes






33. Basophils






34. It is separated after 6 hours and fresh frozen is before 6 hours






35. Nutrients - minerals - hormones - and proteins all maintain homeostasis. electrolytes do action potentials. and enzymes function is catalyst.






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






37. blood






38. Compensatory mechanisms






39. Hemophila A and VWD- maintenance






40. Blood gases






41. Dog-88ml/kg - cat- 66ml/kg






42. 450 mls; 56 mls






43. 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






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






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






46. Platelets develop filopodia with receptors and vWB - which causes them to stick to subendothelial collagen. As soon as they stick - they start releasing their granular contents






47. Mycoplasma haemofelis (hemobartonella felis)






48. Plastic bag - glass bottle - syringe






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






50. Marrow failure and tumor staging
