Question
Answer
white blood cell with reddish granules, numbers INCREASE in allergic reactions   eosinopohil  
🗑

🗑
Breakdown of recipient's red blood cells when incompatible bloods are mixed   hemolysis (hemo = blood, -lysis)  
🗑
NAME THAT ANEMIA! Sideropenia occurs, causing deficient production of hemoglobin.   iron-deficiency anemia (sideropenia - low iron anemia)  
🗑
NAME THAT ANEMIA! Reduction in red cells due to excessive cell destruction.   hemolytic anemia (hemo = blood, -lytic = pert to breakdown/separation/destruction)  
🗑
NAME THAT ANEMIA! Failure of blood cell production due to absence of formation of cells in the bone marrow.   APLASTIC ANEMIA - (aplastic = not exhibiting growth or change in structure)(anemia = a condition in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells, in hemoglobin, or in total volume)  
🗑
NAME THAT ANEMIA! Inherited defect in ability to produce hemoglobin.   Thalassemia (aka: Mediterranean anemia )  
🗑
NAME THAT ANEMIA! Lack of mature red cells - due to - inability to absorb vitamin B12 into the body   Pernicious Anemia (pernicious = highly injurous or destructive)  
🗑
excessive deposits of iron throughout the body   hemochromatosis (hem/o = blood, chromat/o = colored, -osis = abnormal condition)  
🗑
symptoms of pallor, shortness of breath, infection, bleeding gums, predominance of immature and abnormally functioning leukocytes, and low numbers of mature neutrophils in a young child may indicate a likely diagnosis of   Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (aka: ALL) marked by an abnormal increase in the number of lymphoblasts, characterized by rapid onset and progression of symptoms on front flap of this flashcard.  
🗑
Excessive bleeding caused by congenital lack of factor VIII or IX   Hemophilia (hem/o = blood, -philiac = pert to a "tendency" toward) Hemophiliac - tends to bleed.  
🗑
venous blood is clotted in a test tube to measure...?   coagulation time (15-20 minutes is the normal range)  
🗑
Sample of blood is spun in a test tube so that red cells fall to the bottom and percentage of RBCs is taken   Hematocrit (hemat/o = blood, -crit = count/judge/guage)  
🗑
blood smear is examined to determine the shape or form (morphology) of cells.   Red blood cell morphology (study of shape/change)  
🗑
leukocytes are stained and counted under a microscope to see numbers of mature and immature forms   WBC differential (differential is the change which occurs as cells mature from their immature forms)  
🗑
venous blood is collected; anti-coagulant added and the distance cells FALL in period of time is determined in this test...   sedimentation rate  
🗑
A "Red Blood Cell"   erythrocyte (erythr/o = red, -cyte = cell)  
🗑
(type of cell) "white blood cell; phagocyte, and is a precursor of a macrophage"   monocyte (mon/o = one, single) (-cyte = cell, in this case, the nucleus)  
🗑
term meaning "thrombocyte"   platelet  
🗑
term meaning "bone marrow cell; gives rise to many types of blood cells"   Hematopoietic Stem Cell  
🗑
term meaning "leukocyte formed in lymph tissue; produces antibodies   LYMPHOcyte (produced in Lymph tissues)  
🗑
term meaning "leukocyte with dense, REDDISH granules; associated with ALLERGIC reactions   Esinophil(s)  
🗑
term meaning "leukocyte (poly) formed in bone marrow and having NEUTRAL-staining granules   Neutrophil(s)  
🗑
term meaning "leukocyte whose granules have an affinity for BASIC stain; releases histamine and heparin   Basophil(s)  
🗑
concerning blood cells, this is a term for "irregularity in shape"   poikilocytosis  
🗑
deficiency in numbers of RBCs   erythrocytopenia (erythr/o = red, cyt/o = cell, -penia = deficiency)  
🗑
reduction of hemoglobin ("color")   Hypochromic (hypo- = decreased, chrom/o = color, -ic = pert to.)  
🗑
increase in numbers of SMALL cells   Microcytosis (micro = small, cytosis = condition of cells)  
🗑
erythremia (characterized by an increase in total blood volume and viscosity and typically accompanied by nosebleed, headache, dizziness, weakness, etc)   polycythemia vera  
🗑
increase in numbers of LARGE cells   macrocytosis (macro- = large, cytosis = condition of cells)  
🗑
formation of red cells (as from the bone marrow)   erythropoiesis (erythr/o = red, -poiesis = formation)  
🗑
destruction of red cells   hemolysis (hem/o = blood, -lysis = destruction / separation / breakdown  
🗑
relieving, but not curing   pallative  
🗑
deficiency of ALL blood cells   pancytopenia (pan- = all, cyt/o = cell, -penia = deficiency)
