Question
Answer
Define hematology.   The study of blood and blood forming organs.  
🗑
Where are five places in the body that blood is formed?   1. Bone Marrow 2. Spleen 3. Liver 4. Lymph Nodes 5. Thymus  
🗑
Name the 4 original body humors.   Blood, Phlem, Black Bile, and Yellow Bile.  
🗑
Cellular elements make up what percent of blood?   45%  
🗑
Cellular elements of blood include what 3 classes?   1. Erythrocytes 2. Leukocytes 3. Platelets  
🗑
Plasma makes up what percent of the blood?   55%  
🗑
What role does water play in plasma?   Transport medium and hydration of tissues  
🗑
The 9% of plasma that is not water is composed of what?   Proteins, electrolytes,carbohydrates, lipids, hormones, enzymes, antibodies, and vitamins.  
🗑
What is the percentage for each subclass of cellular elements?   Erythrocytes = 44% Leukocytes = <1% Platelets = <1%  
🗑
What is the primary role of a RBC?   Transport of O2 and CO2.  
🗑
What is the function of a platelet?   To maintain integrity of a red blood cell and begin coagulation processes.  
🗑
Name 5 functions of blood.   1. Transport nutrients to tissues 2. Remove metabolic end products 3. Gas Exchange 4. Natural defense mechanisms 5. Maintain integrity of the circulatory system  
🗑
The cell membrane regulates what?   Entry and Exit to the cell  
🗑
What is the cell membrane made from?   Proteins and lipids form a phospholipid bilayer.  
🗑
2 types of chromatin can be found in the?   Nuclues  
🗑
Define heterochromatin?   Tightly coiled chromosomes that are inactive.  
🗑
What is Euchromatin?   This refers to the uncoiled or diffused chromosomes that have an active role in the storage and transmitting of genetic information and directing of cellular activies.  
🗑
The nucleolus contains what?   RNA  
🗑
Nucleoli are present in cells engaged in what?   Protein synthesis  
🗑
The (inner or outer) membrane of the nuclear envelope is continuous with the ER?   Outer  
🗑
The cytoplasm represents which portion of a cell?   The fluid portion (cytosol)  
🗑
This organelle is responsible for post-translational modification of proteins as well as the transport of membrane bound secretory proteins.   Golgi Apparatus  
🗑
Rough ER is responsible for the synthesis and storage of what?   Proteins  
🗑
Smooth ER is responsible for the synthesis and storage of what?   Lipids  
🗑
This is the site of energy production in a cell.   Mitochondria  
🗑
These membrane bound vesicles are responsible for the dissolving of waste.   Lysosomes  
🗑
What is Proteomics?   The study of composition, structure, and functional interaction of cellular proteins.  
🗑
Which segment of a necleotide sequence DOES NOT code for protein?   Introns  
🗑
What is pre-mRNa?   This is the copy of an entire sequence of a gene including introns and exons.  
🗑
Mature mRNA includes only (introns or exons)?   Exons - this makes mature mRNA shorter  
🗑
UTRs stand for?   Untranslated Regions  
🗑
Where are UTRs located?   At the 5' and 3' ends of mature mRNA  
🗑
What are the 2 roles of a UTR?   UTRs influence the stability of mRNA and efficiency of translation of a protein.  
🗑
The variations of genetic sequence of a gene in different individuals is known as a _________?   Polymorphism  
🗑
The is the alteration in a sequence of a gene that results in disease or abnormal function.   Mutation  
🗑
SNP stands for what? And what is it?   Single nucleotide polymorphism is a region of DNA that differs in a single DNA nucleotide.  
🗑
How do promoter regions of genes control gene expression?   They bind transcription factors to regulate expression.  
🗑
True or False? Promoter regions are transcribed during the process of transcription?   False - they are not transcribed but used to regulate.  
🗑
Variation in a genetic sequence with >1% frequency that does not cause disease is called?   Polymorphism  
🗑
Gene expression is controled by promoter regions as well as these from outside the cell?   Signals  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
