FRSC 2600: SEROLOGY AND BPA EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED LATEST
UPDATE
Serology
Deals with the examination of bodily fluids (saliva, semen, blood, urine, etc.)
Blood Volume
Accounts for 8% of total body weight
How much blood do males and females typically have?
Males: 5-6 liters
Females: 4-5 liters
Exsanguination occurs at...
40% blood volume loss
Plasma
Liquid part of blood (55%)
Erythrocytes
red blood cells; responsible for oxygen distribution
Leukocytes
white blood cells; responsible for "cleaning" the system of foreign invaders
Thrombocytes
platelets; responsible for blood clotting
, ABO blood groups
based on having an A, B, both or no antigens on red blood cells
Rh factor
may be present on red blood cells; positive if present and negative if not
Antigen
a substance that can stimulate the body to make antibodies
Antibody
a substance that reacts with an antigen
Agglutination
clumping of red blood cells; will result if blood types with different antigens are mixed
Karl Landsteiner
Discovered that blood can be grouped into different types, A, B, AB and O and
discovered the Rh factor
Kastle-Meyer color test
a mixture of phenolphthalein and hydrogen peroxide; the hemoglobin will cause the
formation of a deep pink color if blood is present
Microcystalline tests
add specific chemicals to the blood to make it form crystals with portions of the
hemoglobin
Leucomalachite test
reacts with the heme group in blood causing a greenish color
Luminol test
reacts with blood to produce light
