Lymphocytes look for specific

Antigens

True or false lymphocytes are NOT phagocytic

True

What is a distinct characteristic of monocytes that make them identifiable

Contains vacuoles, the nucleus looks fat and is not as dark in color.

A chemical that when added to blood prevents the blood for clotting after it is removed from the body

Anticoagulant

If the blood sample is allowed to clot in a tube that does not contain any anticoagulant, the remaining fluid is

Serum

What is the difference between plasma and serum

Serum is the liquid that remains after the blood has clotted. Plasma is the liquid that remains when clotting is prevented with the addition of an anticoagulant.

True or false In a newborn animal Hematopoiesis takes place primarily in the yellow bone marrow

False It takes place in primarily red bone marrow because of the high demand for blood cells during growth

What are the three types of granulocytes

Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils

What are the two types of agranulocytes

Monocytes, lymphocytes

Used to evaluate plasma proteins, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets

CBC

The volume of packed erythrocytes measured and expressed as a percentage of total volume of blood.

PCV

As a result of an animals PCV being lower than the normal reference range

Anemia

A condition that results in an animals PCV being high than normal

Polycythemia

RBC count measures

The number of red blood cells in a specific volume of blood

Hemoglobin (Hgb) analysis measures

The concentration of hemoglobin contained in red blood cells in a specific volume of blood

MCV =

Mean Corpuscular Volume

MCV measures

The average volume or size of the individual red blood cells.

MCHC =

Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration

MCHC measures

A way to evaluate the erythrocytes in the presence of anemia. It measures the ratio of the wright if the hemoglobin to the total volume of red blood cells

RDW=

Red Cell Distribution Width

A numerical expression of variation in red blood cell size

RDW

RETIC=

Reticulocyte Count

RETIC measures

The number of immature forms of the red blood cells per a specific total number of red blood cells. Used to characterize the type of anemia

WBC measures

The total leukocyte count expresses the total number of white blood cells in a specific volume of blood

PLT =

platelet count

TP=

Total Plasma Protein

TP measures

Measure the amount of protein in the plasma portion of a specific volume of blood

Maintain vessel integrity

Platelets

What is fibrinogen

A soluble plasma protein

Involved in the early stages of the inflammatory response

Neutrophils

The largest white blood cell in circulation, make up 5-6% of the circulating white blood cells. Their nuclei can be in many shapes and have an abundant cytoplasm that may contain vacuoles

Monocytes

Which white blood cell would participate in the in Inflammatory response

Monocytes

Which white blood cell has individual functions that regulate an animals immune system

Lymphocytes

What are the four primary functions of the lymphatic system

Removal of excess fluid Waste material transport Filtration of lymph Protein transport

Found only in birds and is similar in structure and function to the thymus it is a round sac found around the cloaca

Bursa of fabricius

Located in the wall of the intestines

Peyer’s patches

Nodules of lymphoid tissue that are not covered with a capsule

Tonsils

Used to replace fluid or blood that had been lost or destroyed

Transfusion therapy

Lymph nodes located behind the stifle are called

Popliteal

Band cells are

Immature neutrophils

What are the largest leukocytes in an animals circulation

Monocytes

Which calls are capable of phagocytizing Protozoa, viruses, and fungi

Monocytes

What is produced when blood is collected, allowed to clot, then spun

Serum

Which of the following is used to describe the production of white blood cells

Leukopoiesis

What is the transport protein that picks up hemoglobin in the blood and takes it to the liver

Haptoglobin

Which form of hemoglobin refers to hemoglobin with oxygen bound to it

Oxyhemoglobin

Which element is vital to the production and function of hemoglobin.

Iron

What is the parent cell of the platelet

Megakaryocyte

What organ contain macrophages that are especially active in removing aging, dead, and abnormal red blood cells

Spleen

What organ releases erythropoietin to stimulate erythrocyte production by the bone marrow

Kidney

Which leukocyte is often described as having a ground glass appearance to its cytoplasm

Monocytes

Eosinophils do what

Help fight allergic reactions and anaphylaxis

Which white blood cell? Seen in later stages of inflammation associated with cellular debris cleanup; they also process antigens

Monocyte

Which white blood cell? Associated with allergic reactions and phagocytosis, particularly of large Protozoa and parasitic worms

Eosinophil

Which white blood cell? Seen in early stages of the inflammatory response; phagocytosis of microorganisms and other tissues debris

Neutrophil

Which white blood cell? Least phagocytic WBC; granules contain an anticoagulant and it’s initiator of allergic reactions

Basophil

Which cell doesn’t not phagocytize foreign material

Lymphocytes
