EXAM #2 mlt 126
MLT 126: HEMATOLOGY AND COAGULATION
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Describe the major characteristics of a mature erythrocyte | it is made up of Hgb, which is important for gas exchange. when the membrane becomes rigid around the end of cell death (120), macrophages are triggered to phagocytize the old cell |
| This pigment is synthesized during RBC maturation and is responsible for the gas exchange abilities of RBCs? | Heme |
| Define Hematopoiesis | production of RBCs based on HSC differentiation that later evolves into the maturation of erythrocytes |
| What glycoprotein hormone triggers a feedback loop of RBC production during hypoxia? | EPO |
| Where is EPO produced and what development is it most essential in stimulating? | kidneys; fetal development |
