25
Anemia
Loss of oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
26
How would you know if a patient had a Anemia?
Often reflected in a reduced RBC count.
27
Polycythemia
Many Blood Cells
28
How would you know if a patient had Polycythemia?
There would be a increased RBC count related to increased RBC mass that often leads to hyperviscosity of the blood.
29
What is Saline?
It is a 0.85% NaCl solution.
30
What is a increased in PMNs called?
Neutrophilia
31
What is Nuetrophilia a sign of?
A bacterial infection.
32
What is a Neutripenia?
It is a decrease in PMNs.
33
What can cause a Neutropenia?
It can be caused by certain drugs or a viral infection.
34
What are Band Neutrophils?
They are immature neutrophil that will mature into a sagmented nuetrophil.
35
What is another name for Bands?
Stabs
36
Normal amount of Bans?
0-5%
37
Normal amount of Sgas
50-70%
38
What do Bands do?
Engulf and destroy bacteria.
39
What do Eosinophils do?
Fight parasitic infections.
40
What is it called when you have an increased EO count?
Eosinophilia and the patient has a perasitic infection.
41
What color do EOs stain in Wright Stain and why?
They stain orange because their granules contain antihistamine.
42
Noromal % of Basophils?
0-1%
43
What color do Basophils sain in Wright stain and why?
They are bark purple to black irregular cytoplasmic granules which often obscure the nucleus.
44

CML
45
What is the % of Lymphocytes in the blood?
20-40%
46
Lymphocytosis
Is often associated with viral infections.
47
% of Monocytes?
1-8%
48
What are Macrophages?
Monocytes that moved to the tissues and Matured.
49
What does the Monocyte look like?
It has a lassy cromatin patteron and has sudopods.
50
What are the 2 primary functions of Monocytes?
1. Identify and phagocytose forign particies. 2. Assists the lymphs in mounting an immune response by antigen processing.
51
What are Thrombocytes?
Platelets
52
What do Platelets do?
They are primarily in hemostasis, they maintenan and repair blood vessels and for a clot to plug dammaged blood vessels.
53
What is a Simple Microscope?
It contains one set of magnifying lens and a 35-m slide projector.
54
Compound Microscope
Contains 2 separate lens systems and is the one typically used in Hematology.
55
Electron Microscope
50,00 x magnification; uses a beam of electons instead of light.
56
Polarizes Light Microscope
Is used in chemistry and urinalysis to identify crystals.
57
Darkfield Microscope
Contains a special condenser that can be used to identify spirochetes.
58

Provides excellent contrast of a cel against its surrounding background.
59
What is a Phase-Contrast Microscope recommended to be used for?
To count Platelets.
60
How does a Phase-Contrast Microscope work?
It shifts the light through a condenser and changes the wavelength by 1/4.
