◉ 5 types of WBC.
Answer: Neutrophils
lymphocytes
monocytes
eosinophils
basophils
◉ Usually What WBC is the largest.
Answer: Neutrophils
◉ What WBC type is the largest as a newborn.
Answer: Lymphocytes until 8 years old
,◉ Leukopenia.
Answer: less than 4000
* viral infection
* bacterial infection
* bone marrow issue
◉ Severe leukopenia.
Answer: less than 500
can be at risk for fatal infection dying of even a cold
◉ when is leukocytosis common.
Answer: during pregnancy due to increased neutrophils
◉ What wbc type elevates with allergies.
Answer: Eosinophils
◉ what wbc type elevates with infections (bacterial and viral).
Answer: Viral: lymphocytes
bacterial: neutrophils
◉ Hemoglobin (Hgb) what does it go.
,Answer: carries oxygen throughout the body making up 95% of dry
wt of RBC
◉ Hemoglobin is what type of structure.
Answer: quaternary structure made of 4 globular proteins (2
alpha/2beta) with an iron center for o2 binding
◉ Erythocytosis and 6 causes.
Answer: elevated Hgb caused by: polycythemia, high altitude, heart
disease, copd/pulm disease, dehydration, renal issue
◉ anemia and at least 5 causes.
Answer: low hbg, due to :
iron deficiency or vitamin b12 /folate deficiency, chronic renal
failure, aplastic anemia, bone marrow issue, leukemia, lymphoma, or
blood loss
◉ Normal Hgb levels.
Answer: 11.6-16.6g/dl
◉ when hgb is abnormal be concerned of what.
Answer: blood oxygen carrying capacity concern
, ◉ Hematocrit Hct what is it.
Answer: percentage of overall solution: packed cell volume of RBC
◉ normal hct level.
Answer: 35.5 to 48.6%
◉ Hgb compared to hct.
Answer: Hct= hgb x3
◉ loss of plasma volume from the vascular space does what to hct.
Answer: increases it: think dehydration, severe burn, elevated hct
◉ overhydration does what to hct.
Answer: decreases hct: not necessarily bleeding
◉ right after hemorrage what happens to rbc and plasma.
Answer: its an equal loss of both rbc and plasma until hrs later
whaen interstial fluid shifts into vascular space decreases hct
◉ how many days does bone marrow take to make rbc.
Answer: 7 days to make them
