process of maturation of a Red Blood Cell
29
What is Plasma?
- contains clotting factors
- clotting factors: fibrin
30
What is Serum?
plasma with NO clotting factors
31
What is Anticoagulant?
chemicals that prevent or delay clotting factors
32

36
What is a Pack Cell Volume measuring?
percent of cells in a patient's blood
37
What is the normal PCV for dogs?
37-55%
38
What is the normal PCV for cats?
30-45%
39
What are the 2 classifications of Anemia?
- regenerative
- non-regenerative
40
What is Regenerative Anemia?
- increased:
- reticulocytes
- nucleated RBC
- Howell Jolly Bodies
- Anisocytosis
- Polychromasia
- indicates bone marrow has responded to demand for RBCs
- increases production of RBCs
41
What is Non-Regenerative Anemia?
- decreased production of RBCs
- caused by inadequate production of RBCs by the bone marrow
42
What are the 5 abnormal RBCs?
- nucleated RBC
- basophilic stippling
- howell jolly bodies
- heinz bodies
- reticulocytes
43
What are the 5 WBCs?
- segmented neutrophil
- lymphocyte
- monocyte
- eosinophil
- basophil
44
What are the characteristics of Segmented Neutrophil?
-3 to 4 lobes
45
What are the characteristics of the Band Cell?
horseshoe nucleus
46
What are the characteristics of the Hyper Segmented Neutrophil?
-has 5 or more lobes
47
What are the characteristics of the Lymphocyte?
large central pallor
48
What are the characteristics of the Monocyte?
- has vacuoles
- notched shaped nucleus
49
What are the characteristics of the Eosinophils?
-granules stain red
50
What are the characteristics of the Basophil?
-granules stain blue
51
What are the functions of Segmented Neutrophil?
- primary WBC in pus
- 1st responder to trauma or bacterial infections
- reach inflammation site in minutes
- live only 5 days
52
What are the functions of the Band Cell?
-indicates high demand for neutrophils during inflammatory response
53
What are the functions of the Hyper Segmented Neutrophil?
indication of iron deficiency anemia
54
What are the functions of Lymphocyte?
- defends against:
- tumors
- bacteria
- viruses
- foreign invaders
55
What are the functions of Monocyte?
- have vacuoles used to eat foreign debris/invaders
- if left in blood stream: Macrophage
- die after phagocytizing
56
What are the functions of Eosinophil?
- primary function
- defend agains:
- parasites
- allergies
- attracted to histamines
- neutrolizes histamines
57
What are the functions of Basophil?
- no real job
- can migrate to tissue if needed
- granules are histame and heparin used to attract eosinophil
58
What are Reticulocytes?
immature RBCs that contain organelles that are lost in mature cell
- aggregate
- punctate
59
What are Aggregates?
- form large clumps of reticulum
- mature into punctate in 24hrs
60
What are Punctates?
- unique to cats
- contains 2 to 8 granules
- circulate for 7 to 10 days
61
What things will determine the volume of blood collected from patient?
- amount of plasma or serum needed
- hydration status of animal
62
