Blood

match the number to create the correct sequence of steps in a hematocrit determination

1. fill a glass capillary with blood from a disinfected finger tip 2. seal off the capillary on one end with a putty 3. place you capillary into a centrifuge with the sealed end facing outwards 4. balance the centrifuge by loading it evenly 5. spin the capillaries for about 4 min 6. place the capillary over the evaluation grid

rank the steps below into the correct sequence necessary to prepare a blood smear. place the first step at the top

1. obtain a drop of blood and place it away from the center onto a slide 2. take a clean slide and slide it at a 45 degree angle across the first slide to distribute the drop of blood evenly on the first slide. let the blood dry 3. put a few drops of Wright's stain onto the slide. leave the slide to dry for about 2 minutes 4. add as much buffer as Wright stain onto the slide. let the slide stand for 2-4 minutes 5. rinse the slide with water

when donor and recipient have the exact same blood type, like B+ for example, their blood will obviously match. what if the recipient type does not match the donor type

A Rhesus positive recipient can always receive Rhesus negative blood of the same type. Recipients with type AB+ can receive any type of donor blood cells (packed cells), but not any type of plasma. Any recipient can receive type O red blood cells (packed cells) but not the type O plasma

match the blood type and antibodies that would normally be present in a person's plasma

O = anti-A and anti-B in plasma A = anti-B in plasma B = anti-A in plasma AB = no antibodies in plasma

a male athlete has a hematocrit of 55% prior to a competition. that indicates

an endurance trained male in the norm range

a woman with a hemoglobin content of 10g/100ml would be considered ___ in regards to her saturation

anemic

a person with blood type O has ___ in their blood plasma

anti-B antibodies, anti-A antibodies

with what information do you want to label your slide

blood sample number. serum type.

which blood test(s) would be used to determine if a donor's blood is compatible with the blood of a recipient

blood typing

how is the differential white blood cell count determined

by counting a set number of white blood cells and nothing the percentages of different types of cells

formed elements of blood include which of the following structures

cells, cell fragments

if someone who does not have type O blood receives a type O transfusion, they can only receive the a portion of the blood. they can receive the ___, but not the ___

cells; plasma

which blood test(s) would be used to determine the presence of a parasitic infection

differential white blood cell count

where would antibodies be found in the blood

dissolved in plasma

we need as much wright's stain as

is necessary to cover all the blood smear

what is the purpose of the hemolysis applicator

it breaks down red blood cells and releases hemoglobin to the solution

when handling someone else's blood, you should always wear ___ ___ on your hands

latex gloves

the formed elements in blood that are involved in the immune-defense of the body are called ___

leukocytes

a patient's hemoglobin content is determined to be 12g/100ml. that is

low for a man, but normal for a women

a patient's hemoglobin content is determined to be 10g/100ml. that is

low for both a woman or a man

when you move the slide in the hemoglobinometer, your goal is to ___ the two colors

match

match the white blood cell type with the correct description

neutrophil = polymorphonuclear slightly pinkish granular cytoplasm lymphocyte = large round nucleus takes most of the space in the cell; small cytoplasm ring around nucleus monocyte = large cell, twice as big as a red blood cell. nucleus is "bean" or "c" shaped eosinophil = cell full of red-pink staining granules; nucleus is bilobed basophil = cell is full dark-purple staining granules; nucleus is bilobed

a patient's hematocrit is determined to be 45% that is

normal for both a man or a woman

where are the A, B, and Rh antigens located

on erythrocyte

the full capillary tube should be sealed

on one side after we put blood in so that the blood will not be pushed out in the centrifuge

what problem is most likely the case when a person has a high count of eosinophils

parasitic infection, allergic reaction

the liquid portion of blood is called

plasma

the formed elements that allow blood to clot are called ___ ad they look like ___

platelets -- very small, roundish spots

the essential transport of oxygen in our body is conducted by ___ blood cells

red

the most abundant of the formed elements in blood are ___

red blood cells

match the blood component with its major function

red blood cells = transport of respiratory gases white blood cells = provide immune surveillance and defense platelets = enable self-sealing of wound plasma = transports nutrients, proteins, hormones and distribute body heat

with the hematocrit measurement we determine one of the important factors that determine

the oxygen transport capacity of a person's blood

with the hemoglobin measurement we determine one of the important factors that determine

the oxygen transport capacity of a person's blood

how should the capillary tubes be placed in the centrifuge?

the sealed end of the capillary should lie at the edge. capillary tubes should be placed on opposite sides of the centrifuge to balance it. the capillary tube should touch the rim of the centrifuge.

based on the results of your differential white blood cell count, which of the following statements is most likely correct

the white blood cell numbers are normal. the patient doesn't have any problems

which of the following statements best describes what you would expect to happen in a packed cell transfusion if the recipient had blood type A and the donor had blood type O

there would be no transfusion reaction

what is the function of platelets

they mediate blood-clotting
