Erythrocyte - rbc Hemoglobin - iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen for delivery to cells Erythropoiesis - formation of red blood cells Erythropoietin - hormone produced and released by the kidney that stimulates the production of red blood cells by the bone marrow Reticulocyte - immature erythrocyte, no nucleus, increase in CBC indicates rbc's being lost or consumed at a great rate and bone marrow is sending less mature rbc's to bloodstream Hemoglobin synthesi...

ASCP MLS Hematology Actual Questions and Answers 2024 Already Graded A+ Variation in red cell size observed on the peripheral smear is described as: A. Anisocytosis B. Hypochromia C. Poikilocytosis D. Pleocytosis - correct answer A. A mature erythrocyte is approximately 7-8 μm in diameter. Variation in normal size is denoted by the term anisocytosis. Hypochromia is a term that indicates increased central pallor in erythrocytes, and poikilocytosis denotes variation in red cell sha...

Erythrocytes 99% of blood cells Flexible cell wall able to alter shape to pass through small capillaries Biconcave shape and thin cell wall facilitate the diffusion of gases Primarily composed of hemoglobin, a complex protein-iron compound, that binds with oxygen and carbon dioxide Anemia-LABORATORY TESTS CBC - Complete Blood Count -RBC indices, WBC differentials -General survey of bone marrow function and blood levels Anemia- RBCs RBC Count Size - MCV (mean corpuscular volume) Weight - M...

Instead of solely looking at the WBC count, what must you consider when evaluating the hematologic status of a patient? - You must consider the individual absolute counts of each leukocyte type rather than the total WBC count. For such a critical evaluation, the first step is to order a CBC with differential. What are eosinophils? - Pro-inflammatory cells that are capable of either protecting or damaging the host depending on the situation. Their granules are toxic to parasites. What are r...
