QUESTIONS & DETAILED CORRECT
ANSWERS
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
In response to hypoxia
In the fetus the liver produces this
