Blood Drills

Question 1

True or False: All blood cells originate from pluripotent stem
cells.

Question 2

True or False: The kidney excretes bilirubin.

Question 3

True or False: Neonatal anemia disappears as the kidney
matures.

Question 4

True or False: Leukocytes can be divided into three major
groups.

Question 5

True or False: Lymphocytes are the largest leukocytes.

Question 6

True or False: Monocytes that migrate to infected tissues are
called wandering macrophages.

Question 7

True or False: Inflammation causes an increase in the hematocrit.

Question 8

True or False: Neutrophils are granulocytes.

Question 9

True or False: Plasma proteins are confined to blood.

Question 10

True or False: The extrinsic pathway of blood clotting is more complex than the intrinsic pathway.

Question 11

True or False: The breaking up of a blood clot is called clot
retraction.

Question 12

True or False: Blood clotting always results in the formation of
embolus.

Question 13

True or False: Heparin is produced by mast cells.

Question 14

True or False: A blood clot that is transported by the
bloodstream is called a thrombus.

Question 15

True or False: Agglutinins are also called antibodies.

Question 16

True or False: Cyanosis is caused by too many leukocytes in the
blood.

Question 17

True or False: The production of red blood cells is closely linked
to the carbon dioxide-carrying capacity of the
blood. If this is low, the red bone marrow makes a
hormone called erythroheparin to increase the
number of RBCs.

Question 18

True or False: Pluripotent stem cells are special cells in the red
bone marrow that have the potential to become
any of the seven formed elements.

Question 19

True or False: Being type AB means you either have the A or B
antigens but not both

Question 20

True or False: Plasma constitutes about 55% of the blood
volume.

Question 21

True or False: Mature erythrocytes can reproduce.

Question 22

True or False:

Question 23

True or False: In a bone marrow transport it is necessary to inject
the new bone marrow into the bone.

Question 24

True or False: At low doses, aspirin enhances vasoconstriction
and platelet aggregation.

Question 25

True or False: In practice, the use of the terms universal recipient and universal donor in blood typing is misleading and dangerous.

Question 26

True or False: Smoking increases blood fibrinogen levels which leads to an increased clotting risk.

Question 27

True or False: Regular physical activity decreases plasma volume thus increasing clotting abilities when injured.

Question 28

Collective erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets are called the ____ elements of blood.

Question 29

The branch of science concerned with the study of blood is called _________.

Question 30

The three functions of blood are transportation, regulation, and _______.

Blood belongs to ____ tissue.

Question 32

Another name for globulins is __________.

The process of blood cell formation is called ____.

Question 34

The pigment that carries oxygen in red blood cells is ____.

Question 35

The protein portion of hemoglobin is _____.

Question 36

Erythrocyte formation is called ____.

Question 37

Surface proteins on nucleated cells that can be used to identify tissues for transplantation are _______.

Question 38

The function of platelets is ____.

Question 39

When platelets accumulate and attach they form a mass called the ____.

Question 40

The breaking of a blood clot is called ____.

Question 41

The surface of red blood cells contains antigens called ____.

Question 42

Individuals with type A blood have ____ antibodies in the plasma.

Question 43

The Rh system of blood classification was first discovered in the blood of the ____.

Question 44

The hemolysis caused by fetal-maternal incompatibility is called ____.

Question 45

A condition in which the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood is reduced is called ____.

Question 46

Bleeding, either internal or external is referred to as ____.

Question 47

Septicemia is the medical term for ____.

Question 48

The release of hemoglobin into the blood as a result of red blood cell rupture is called ____.

Question 52

Release lysozyme.

Question 53
