% of components in blood—RBC<WBC<platlets=Formed Elements-45%, plasma-55%
What condition involves a decrease in the white blood cell count -- Leukopenia
A patient comes to the hospital with a suspected case of MRSA, a dangerous bacterial infection. When
doing a complete blood count (CBC), what blood component would you expect to be elevated?--
neutrophils
A patient was found to have a decreased number of basophils. What is a possible outcome of their low
basophil count?-- Inflammatory responses in injured and infected tissues will be diminished
While looking at a blood smear through a microscope, you see a purple-stained cell that is markedly
larger than a red blood cell, with a large kidney-shaped nucleus. What type of blood cell is this?
--monocyte
What is a hematocrit?—percentage of RBC in a blood sample
What are the formed elements –RBC(erythrocytes). WBC (leukocytes) .Platelets (thrombocytes)
In addition to other factors, % of body fat has an influence on determining blood volume.
What type of formed element is most abundant? --RBC
What type of blood cell is biconcave and lacks a nucleus when they are mature? --RBC
Which cell type is an agranulocyte? –monocyte & lymphocyte
What is a normal white blood count --4,500-11,000 per microliter
What describes platelets –cytoplasmic fragments of cells
What is the correct sequence for differentiation of a red blood cell? –Hemocytoblast, myeloid stem cell,
erythroblast (forming), reticulocyte, erythrocyte
What is the primary function of lymphocytes? –to act against foreign substances
