Exam 3 Questions and Answers- A&P
NU 110 Galen
characteristics of blood - Answer-ph of blood is 7.35-7.45 and viscosity (thickness)
type of blood cells - Answer-platelets=thrombocytes
thrombocytes - Answer-help with clotting and coagulate blood
hemopoiesis definition - Answer-the process of blood cell formation
hemopoiesis fact - Answer-produce 3 different types of blood cells
RBC, WBC, Platelets
hematocrit - Answer-percentage of blood cells in a blood sample.
RBC production - Answer-EPO that stimulates the bone marrow to produce additional RBC'S
, neutropenia - Answer-patient would be at risk for an infection because neutrophils (granulocytes) help
protect the body.
basophils (wbc) - Answer-inflamatory response; release of HEPARIN= anticoagulant 0-1% of WBC count.
patient with coagulation problems - Answer-would have altered results of basophils because heparin is
an anticoagulant.
platelets - Answer-produced in red bone marrow; prevent blood loss-coagulate blood
thrombocytopenia - Answer-failure of the bone marrow to replace platelets.
petechiae - Answer-pinpoint round spots that appear on the skin as a reult of bleeding from broken
capillaries. (thrombocytopenia)
plasmin - Answer-an important enzyme present in blood that degrades many blood plasma proteins,
including FIBRIN clots.
fibrinolysis - Answer-process to dissolve clots.
TPA - Answer-tissue plasminogen activator. (therapeutic agents=alteplase, reteplase, streptokinase,
tenecteplase, urokinase)
antigen - Answer-substance that the body recognizes as foreign; as a foreign substance, an antigen
stimulates an antigen antibody response.
antigen-antibody interaction - Answer-designed to attack and destroy the antigen (agglutination)
