Test bank For CC1: Basic Principles
and Practice in Clinical Chemistry9th
Edition by Bishop Fody Questions &
Answers with rationales
clinical - ANSgreek word "Kline" meaning bed
chemistry - ANSthe science that deals with the elements, their compounds and the chemical
structure and interaction of matter
clinical chemistry - ANSthe area of chemistry that is generally concerned with quantitative and
qualitative analysis of bodily fluids for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes
Systeme International d'Unites (SI) - ANSpreferred in scientific literature and clinical laboratories
and is the only system used in many countries
reagents - ANSa substance that is used to test for the presence of another substance by
causing reaction with it; any substance employed to produce a chemical reaction
organic reagents - ANSpractical grade with some impurities; chemically pure
primary standard - ANShighly purified chemicals that can be measured directly to produce a
substance of exact known concentration and purity
secondary standard - ANSa substance of lower purity with concentration determined by
comparison with a primary standard
prefiltration - ANSremove particulate matter for municipal water supplies before any additional
treatments
distillation - ANSwater has been purified to remove almost all organic materials
ion exchange - ANSwater has some or all ions removed
reverse osmosis - ANSprocess that uses pressure to force water through a semipermeable
membrane
, ultrafiltration and nanofiltration - ANSexcellent in removing particulate matter, microorganisms,
and any pyrogens or endotoxins
type I - ANSTYPE OF WATER:
least colonies (for iron, enzymes, tissue culture); highest resistant
type II - ANSTYPE OF WATER:
usually used for laboratory
type III - ANSTYPE OF WATER:
used for fecalysis, autoclave; delicate procedures
liquid in glass - ANSTYPE OF THERMOMETER:
usually measure temperatures between 20C and 400C; rarely used/ avoided
electronic/ thermistor probe - ANSTYPE OF THERMOMETER:
smaller and had millisecond response time
digital thermometer - ANSTYPE OF THERMOMETER:
usually unreliable
- ANSTYPE OF GLASSWARE:
borosilicate glass - ANSTYPE OF GLASSWARE:
used for heating and sterilization purposes (Pyrex)
flint glass - ANSTYPE OF GLASSWARE:
soda lined glass, easily melt, disposable glassware
quartz glass - ANSTYPE OF GLASSWARE:
ideal for "curvette", excellent transmission of light; Boron-free: strong "soft glass"
aluminocilicate - ANSTYPE OF GLASSWARE:
6x stronger than borosillicate glass, Korex strengthened chemically rather than thermally
