EXAM
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
