CSMLS – HEMATOLOGY EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
5 changes that cells undergo as it matures - Correct Answers -Size (gets smaller)
N:C ratio (decreases = nucleus smaller, cytoplasm larger)
Nucleus (chromatin condenses, nucleoli disappear)
Cytoplasm (less basophilic, decreasing ribosomes)
WBC get granules (primary = Dk purple, then secondary, tertiary etc.)
Barr bodies - Correct Answers -Small lobe, only in females
Dohle bodies - Correct Answers -Round-oval pale grayish-blue inclusions that are found
in the periphery of the cytoplasm of neutrophils, accompanies toxic granulation
Monocyte VS Macrophage - Correct Answers -Monocyte = in blood
Macrophage = in tissue
WBC count in acute vs chronic infection - Correct Answers -Acute bacterial infection
increases WBC
Chronic and no treatment = decreased WBC (used up)
Hematology - Correct Answers -Study of the morphology, production, metabolism,
function, lifespan, destruction of blood cells
Red blood cells - Correct Answers -Erythrocytes:
Filled with hgb
6-8 um in diameter
⅓ central pallor
Anemia - Correct Answers -Decrease in RBC and therefore HGB
Lymphocytes - Correct Answers -Provide immunity through complex system
Lymphocytosis/ Lymphocytopenia
<11% large is normal >11% = infection
Round nucleus, rarely indented
Monocytes - Correct Answers -Immature macrophage on way to tissue
Phagocytose foreign particles
