Question | Answer |
---|---|
Why is morphology of red cells important | Aids physicians in diagnosis and relates to the quality of the indices results. |
A slide that is too thin | cobblestone effect and has no central palor |
a slide that is too thick looks like: | stacks of cells many overlapping |
a normal slide is: | cells randomly spaced in singles or occasional doubles |
The round and oval red cells with diameters of greater than 9 microns and decreased central pallor are | macrocytes or megalacytes |
RBCs that vary significantly in size are called | Anisocytes |
cells that have MCV of < 80, & normal central pallor are called | Microcytes |
Cells with MCV > 100, round to oval, decreased central pallor are | Macrocytes or megalocytes |
RBCs with > Normal MCV and central pallor, larger than normal. | Pseudomacrocytes |
Pseudomacrocytes are larger than normal due to what? | Flattening on the slide |
