Amsect Common Terminology (PBMT II) – Questions
And Answers (100% Correct)
Adsorption Column Right Ans - Defined as the accumulation of a substance
or material at an interface between the solid surface and the bathing solution
usually in a column.
Antibodies Right Ans - Also called immunoglobulins or Ig's, these are a
family of proteins.
Their job is to locate and attack "foreign" proteins — that is, proteins that
don't appear to belong in the body.
Apheresis Right Ans - The removal of whole blood from a donor/patients,
followed by its separation into components.
Autoimmune Disease Right Ans - It is a condition in which your immune
system mistakenly attacks your body.
The immune system normally guards against germs like bacteria and viruses.
When it senses these foreign invaders, it sends out an army of fighter cells to
attack them.
Normally, the immune system can tell the difference between foreign cells and
your own cells. The immune system mistakes part of your body, like your
joints or skin, as foreign. It releases proteins called auto-antibodies that attack
healthy cells
Autotransfusion Right Ans - The process of collecting, processing, and re-
infusing autologous blood.
Bovine Right Ans - Pertaining to a cow.
Cell Processing /Separation Right Ans - The separation of red cells, white
cells, platelets and waste from the plasma and/or from each other on the basis
of cell characteristics (usually from differential centrifugation).
Centrifugation Right Ans - Is a mechanical process which involves the use
of the centrifugal force to separate particles from a solution according to their
size, shape, density, medium viscosity and rotor speed.
