cardiac, pulmonary, hematology, renal Questions
with Correct Verified Answers latest update 2025
Hematopoiesis --- correct answer ---blood cell formation
Fetus- liver and spleen
Adult- bone marrow
Anemia --- correct answer ---A condition in which the blood is deficient in
red blood cells, in hemoglobin, or in total volume.
Erythropoiesis --- correct answer ---formation of red blood cells
In kidney in response to hypoxia
macrocytic normochromic anemia --- correct answer ---Large RBC's,
normal hemoglobin
Folic acid or Vitamin B12 deficiency
microcytic hypochromic anemia --- correct answer ---small, abnormally
shaped erythrocytes that are not able to carry normal hemoglobin
Thalassemia- mediterranean
normocytic normochromic anemia --- correct answer ---Characterized by
red cells that are relatively normal in size and normal hemoglobin
Aplastic, hemorrhagic, hemolytic, sickle cell
iron deficiency anemia --- correct answer ---anemia resulting when there
is not enough iron to build hemoglobin for red blood cells
Affects children, poverty, child bearing age
, Erythrocytes --- correct answer ---red blood cells
Most abundant cell in the body
Responsible for tissue oxygenation
Mitotic division- 100-120 days
sickle cell anemia --- correct answer ---A genetic disorder in which
erythroctyes take on an abnormal curved or "sickle" shape (Hb-s)
Thalassemia --- correct answer ---Inherited defect in the ability to
produce hemoglobin, usually seen in persons of Mediterranean
background.
pernicious anemia --- correct answer ---Lack of mature erythrocytes
caused by inability to absorb vitamin B12 into the bloodstream
hemolytic anemia --- correct answer ---Characterized by an inadequate
number of circulating red blood cells due to the premature destruction of
red blood cells by the spleen
Pancytopenia- reduction in all 3 types of blood cells (RBC, WBC, Plt)
Erythropoietin (EPO) --- correct answer ---Hormone secreted by the
kidney to stimulate the production of red blood cells by bone marrow
In response to hypoxia
In the fetus the liver produces this
Hemoglobin --- correct answer ---Iron-containing protein in red blood
cells that carries oxygen for delivery to cells
4 molecules of O2
Made of polypeptide, heme, iron
anemia due to gastrectomy --- correct answer ---Iron def anemia is major
cause after this
