Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
functions of blood   transports O2 & CO2, disburses - waste, hormones, antibodies, nutrients, regulates - body temp, pH, electrolytes, hemostatsis - stoppage of blood, platelet plugs form  
🗑
name two parts of blood   plasma = 90% water, 10% dissolved solutes and formed elements = RBCs and buffy coat (WBCs and platelets) - 55% =plama, 45%=formed elements  
🗑
function of RBC   aka erythrocyte -to transport O2 and hemoglobin which gives blood it's red color (iron & protein)  
🗑
function of WBC   aka leukocyte - defense - production of antibodies  
🗑
function of platelet   aka thrombocyte - contains thromboplastin which starts the clotting cascade  
🗑
WBC differential   blood test that allows for testing of each individual WBC. Granulocytes = basophils, esinophils, neutrophils. agranulocytes = monocytes, lymphocytes  
🗑
erythoblast   immature RBC with a nucleus  
🗑
reticulocyte   immature RBC with no nucleus  
🗑
steps of coagulation cascade   1. platelets aggregate to form platelet plugs 2. factors activate (thromboplastin) 3. calcium binds 4. prothrombin converts to thrombin 5 fibrinogen converts to fibrin  
🗑
plasma v serum   both liquid portion of blood made up mostly of H2O - plasma contains clotting factors prothrombin & fibrinogen, serum does not  
🗑
hemostasis   "stoppage of blood" function of blood that forms blood cells to prevent bleeding and restricts fluid when blood vessels are damaged  
🗑
erythropoietin   hormone that is synthesized in the kidney that sends signal to produce RBCs  
🗑
macrophage   large eating cell that is formed from a monocyte (WBC)  
🗑
diapedesis   process when monocyte (WBC) becomes a macrophage - occurs when monocyte leaves capillaries and enters interstitial space  
🗑
hemocytoblast   undifferentiated stem cell - when cells are formed they don't have a specific function but will eventually go where they are needed  
🗑
vein v artery   veins takes deoxygenated blood to the heart, have thinner walls, valves, small veins are venules. Arteries take oxygenated blood away from the heart, thicker walls to handle pumping pressure from heart, have a pulse, small arteries are arterioles  
🗑
quantitative v qualitative   quantitative provides an actual measurement in specific units. qualitative identifies presence or absence of a substance - positive or negative  
🗑
quality control v quality assurance   QC - procedures that monitor processing of lab specimens. QA - inclusive term for all polices, procedures and practices- to assure that its done  
🗑
EDTA   additive for lavender tube - hemotology  
🗑
how lymph travels through lymphatic system   upward and in towards the body via kinesis. blood plasma enters interstitial space becomes interstitial fluid, moves into capillaries becomes lymph, into lymphatic vessels then enter the circulatory system via the lymphatic ducts  
🗑
lipemic   abnormal amount of fat in the blood - serum or plasma appears milky or cloudy  
🗑
hematoma   bruise - breaking of blood vessels under the skin  
🗑
hemolysis - what is it? what causes it?   destruction of RBCs - caused by shaking or dropping test tube or in capillary puncture, by milking the finger  
🗑
hemoconcentration   occurs when tourniquet is left on too long - liquid portion of blood seeps into the interstitial space so there is a higher concentration of formed elements  
🗑
tourniquet placement   3-4" above the antecubital space  
🗑
when would you use butterfly   on small sclerosed veins, on children, on hand  
🗑
what items discarded in sharps   anything sharp that could puncture a red bag - needles, glass, sharp instruments, microscope slide  
🗑
what items discarded in red bag   anything saturated with blood, body fluid and OPIM (other potentially infectious materials)  
🗑
additive in light blue tube   sodium citrate - for clotting factors  
🗑
average pints of blood in human   8-10 pts/ 5-6 ltrs  
🗑
PST   plasma separator tube - mint/light green or green and black marble - contains thixotropic gel and lithium heparin (whole plasma sample)  
🗑
SST   serum separator tube - gold or red and black marble - contains thixotropic gel and gel clot activator (serum sample)  
🗑
what tube for STAT chemistry   PST  
🗑
POL   physician's office laboratory - can perform waived tests  
🗑
PPE   personal protective equipment (standard precautions) - gloves, mask, goggles, gown, caps, etc.  
🗑
lab requisition   order form from Dr. requesting specific lab tests for pt  
🗑
lab report   report showing pt's lab results  
🗑
purpose of baseline reading   baseline taken when pt is in good health - used as a guide for comparison for when they are not well  
🗑
reference ranges   aka normal values, expected values or reference intervals. the range considered "normal" for lab tests  
🗑
which tube for WBC differential   EDTA - lavender  
🗑
which tube for blood culture   sterile - aerobic and anaerobic - SPS (sodium polysulfonate)  
🗑
how to prepare for pt blood culture   1. select tubes ordered 2. betadine/chloraprep 3. order of draw  
🗑
why wipe away first drop of blood for capillary puncture   bc it contains tissue fluid  
🗑
hematocrit? which tube?   tests proportion of RBCs that make up our blood - lavender tube  
🗑
average range of hematocrit of female, male, nenoate   female = 36%-46%, male = 47%-60%, neonate = 44% - 64%  
🗑
which tube for hemoglobin   lavender - EDTA  
🗑
sickle cell anemia   RBCs are misformed so have less surface area for O2 and hemoglobin (iron/protein)  
🗑
polycythemia   production of too many RBCs in bone marrow  
🗑
average range of hemoglobin of female, male, neonate   female = 12-16 g/dl, male = 13-18 g/dl, neonate 15-20 g/dl  
🗑
order of draw - color of tubes   sterile, light blue, red, gold - red/black marble, dark green, mint/light green - green/black marble, lavender, grey  
🗑
OSHA   Occupational Safety and Health Administration - sets regulations for safe and healthy workplace  
🗑
CLIA   Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment - protects public by regulation all lab tests performed on human specimens  
🗑
normal range of RBCs for female, male   female = 4-5.5 million, male = 4.5-6 million

🗑
normal range of WBCs   4,500 - 11,000  
🗑
how lymph returns to circulatory system   subclavian veins via lymphatic ducts - thoracic duct on left side of body and lymphatic duct on right side
