18
Q

Oxidative injury

A

Environment
Hemoglobin: methemoglobin and Heinz bodies
Membranes: increased phagocytosis or intravascular hemolysis

19

Myeloid
megakaryocyte

24

body tires to hide iron in liver and spleen

30
Q

Where are reticulocytes released from

A

What are reticulocytes

A

anculeated erythrocytes
still contain RNA, golgi, ER, mitochondria
1-2% RBC

32
Q

Clinical correlate to reticulocytes

A

Number of circulating reticulocytes increases when an animal responds appropriately to anemia…except horses…because they are horses.

33
Q
