Vascular spasm
A deficiency of ___________ can cause pernicious anemia.
Vitamin B12
If your son was diagnosed with hemophilia, he would have
a disorder of the clotting process

a lymphocyte
Which of the following is an agranulocyte?
a monocyte
Sickle cell disease is caused by
a mutation
The most abundant plasma protein is
albumin
An individual's hematocrit would vary with
altitude, age, sex
Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) occurs when
an Rh-negative woman is carrying an Rh-positive fetus.
If an individual has a deficiency of hemoglobin in the blood, they would have
anemia.
To prevent unwanted clotting, the blood contains several __________, which prevent clotting factors from initiating clot formation under normal circumstances.
anticoagulants
The red blood cells of type AB blood have on their surfaces
antigens A and B
If an individual has a deficiency of hemoglobin due to the inability of the red bone marrow to produce red blood cells, they would have
aplastic anemia
In the breakdown of hemoglobin, the globin chains
are broken down by macrophages into amino acids
Hemoglobin transporting carbon dioxide is called _______________.
carbaminohemoglobin
A blood clot that breaks loose and travels in the blood flow is called a(n) _______________.
embolus
The hormone released from the kidneys that promotes the production of red blood cells is ________________.
erythropoietin
The basic event in the formation of a blood clot is the change of
fibrinogen to fibrin
Most oxygen is transported bound to
heme groups in hemoglobin
The sequence in the breakdown of the non-iron portion of the heme is
heme, biliverdin, bilirubin, conjugated bilirubin, bilirubin derivatives, feces and urine
An increased erythropoietin (EPO) output by the kidneys would lead to all of the following except
increased hypoxemia
Athletes abuse erythropoietin (EPO) because it
increases the red blood cell supply, which brings more oxygen to muscle cells.
Heparin prevents blood clotting by
inhibiting the formation of prothrombin activator and the action of thrombin on fibrinogen.
Aspirin
inhibits the action of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX)
Aspirin inhibits platelet plug formation by
interfering with the synthesis of prostaglandins.
Vitamin B12 is poorly absorbed in the absence of
intrinsic factor
Heme released from hemoglobin in aged red blood cells is decomposed in the liver into
