What is the cell that is indicated by the arrow in this field? A. Red cell fragment B. Acanthocyte C. Burr cell D. Crenated cell A. Red cell fragment A young man is experiencing difficult breathing after fainting. The physician orders a blood gas analysis which shows the following results: pH = 7.25 pCO2 = 62 mmHg pO2 = 70 mmHg HCO3 = 23 mEq/L

acanthocyte correct answer: "thorn cells"/spur cells - small spherical cells with thornlike projections - have no central pallor; have membranes with free cholesterol accumulating preferentially in outer bilayer, leading to decreased fluidity anemia correct answer: insufficient number of RBCs, characterized by inadequate tissue oxygenation ankyrin correct answer: large protein serving as high-affinity binding site for attachment of spectrin to inner membrane surface - binds to spec...
