RED BLOOD CELL (RBC) MORPHOLOGY
QUIZZES WITH RIGHT ACTUAL
Which of the following terms best describes most of the cells in this field?
The central pallor of these red cells encompasses about 1/3 of the red cell diameter. ANS - -
normochromic
This peripheral smears depicts normochromic red blood cells. The central pallor of these red cells
encompasses about 1/3 of the red cell diameter.
For red blood cell (RBC) morphology examination, the field shown in this slide is:
red cells appear flat and somewhat square (cobblestone effect) with no central pallor. ANS - -Too thin
This area of the slide in this image is too thin for accurate RBC morphology evaluation. The red cells
appear flat and somewhat square (cobblestone effect) with no central pallor.
What is the name of the cells that are indicated by the arrows in this slide? (RBC w/ points) ANS -
dacrocytes (teardrop cells)
What are the cells that are indicated by the arrows in this image? ("bull's eye") ANS - codocytes (target
cells)
What are the cells that are indicated by the arrows in this slide? (rectangle shaped central pallor, "coffee
beans") ANS - stomatocytes
Most of the red blood cells in this field could be described as:
In these cells, the central pallor takes up most of the cell ANS - -Hypochromic
Which of the following is a general term describing variation in red cell size? ANS - Anisocytosis
The cells that are indicated by the arrows are examples of what type of red blood cell?
(2 purple RBCs) ANS - Polychromatophilic cells
