Q

What will happen if there’s no albumin in the plasma?

A

Osmotic pressure will be affected therefore, there will be ineffective exchange of nutrients in the cells and blood

Q

How many percent does formed elements occupy in the blood?

24
Q

True or False. Red blood cells have nucleus

25
What is hematocrit?
The measurement of RBC volume in percent after centrifugation. 3X the hemoglobin value.
26
High hematocrit value indicates?
Dehydration/ polycythemia
27
Low hematocrit value indicates?
Anemia/ overhydration
28
Hemoglobin is made of
protein (globin) + iron
29
Normal value of male haemoglobin
14-18 g/100mL
30
Normal value of female haemoglobin
12-16 g/100mL
31
Haemoglobin is synthesized from
acetic acid and glycine.
32
The product of acetic acid and glycine is called a
porphyrin
33
Porphyrin combines with iron to produce a
haeme molecule
34
What does Mean Copuscular Volume reflects?
RBC size
35
Low MCV means?
undersized RBC; Iron deficiency
36
High MCV means?
Oversized RBC; B12 or folic acid deficiency
37
Normal value of MCHC
34± 2
38
Normal value of MCV
90±10
39
Low MCHC may indicate?
Hypochromia
40
Hypochromia is a disease resulted from low MCHC. This means a person has a low?
Haemoglobin content
41
Normal value of reticulocyte count
0.5-1.5% of total RBC count
42
Increase count of reticulocyte occurs when a person is experiencing the following:
-Acute blood loss -Haemolytic anemia -Iron deficiency
43
It is a disease that caused by the rapid/fast destruction of RBC and triggers the increase production of reticulocytes
Haemolytic anemia
44
A condition indicated with low reticulocyte count; A condition where the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells.
Aplastic Anemia
45
Results from alteration of proteins. Measures how fast red blood cells (erythrocytes) settle at the bottom of a test tube over one hour.
Erythrocytes sedimentation rate
46
Normal rate of ESR
Male: 0-18mm/hr Female: 0-20/hr
47
increased neutrophils indicate
infection
48
Increased basophils indicate
Allergic reaction
49
Increase Eosinophils indicate
Parasitic infection
50
Lymphocytes role
-Memory cells, create antibodies
51
Monocyte role
Phagocytic; create antigen
52
This is called the formation of all blood cells
Haemopoiesis
53
The cite of blood cell formation
Haemopoietic organs
54
In embryonic life where does the erythrocyte in produce?
spleen, liver, thymus
55
Regulate Erythropoiesis
Erythropoietin
56
