cardiac, pulmonary, hematology, renal Actual Exam
Questions and Guide Answers, 100% Verified Graded A+
1. Hematopoiesis
Answer: blood cell formation Fetus- liver and
spleen
Adult- bone marrow
2. Anemia
Answer: A condition in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells, in hemoglobin, or in total volume.
3. Erythropoiesis
Answer: formation of red blood cells In kidney in
response to hypoxia
4. macrocytic normochromic anemia
Answer: Large RBC's, normal hemoglobin Folic acid or Vitamin B12 deficiency
5. microcytic hypochromic anemia
Answer: small, abnormally shaped erythrocytes that are not able to carry normal hemoglobin
Thalassemia- mediterranean
1/
23
,6. normocytic normochromic anemia
Answer: Characterized by red cells that are relatively normal in size and normal hemoglobin
Aplastic, hemorrhagic, hemolytic, sickle cell
7. iron deficiency anemia
Answer: anemia resulting when there is not enough iron to build hemoglobin for red blood cells
Attects children, poverty, child bearing age
8. Erythrocytes
Answer: red blood cells Most
abundant cell in the body Responsible
for tissue oxygenation Mitotic division-
100-120 days
9. sickle cell anemia
Answer: A genetic disorder in which erythroctyes take on an abnormal curved or "sickle" shape (Hb-s)
10. Thalassemia
Answer: Inherited defect in the ability to produce hemoglobin, usually seen in persons of Mediter- ranean background.
11. pernicious anemia
Answer: Lack of mature erythrocytes caused by inability to absorb vitamin B12 into the bloodstream
12. hemolytic anemia
2/
23
, 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)
13. Erythropoietin (EPO)
Answer: Hormone secreted by the kidney to stimulate the production of red blood cells by bone marrow
