ONS CHEMO CERT EXAM WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
What are the 2 major phases in cell division? -ANSInterphase and Mitotic phase
What happens in interphase? -ANSDNA replicates
What are the steps of interphase -ANSFirst growth phase, synthesis phase, &second
growth phase
What is the mitotic phase? -ANSperiod of cell division
Stem cells divide and produce -ANSMyeloid or lymphoid lineage
myeloid precursor cells mature into -ANSRBC's, PLT, & WBC's
lymphoid precursor cells mature into -ANSspecialized WBC's and lymphocytes
Granulocytes -ANSneutrophils, eosinophils, basophils
Agranulocytes -ANST-lymphocytes, B-Lymphocytes and monocytes
pluripotent stem cells -ANSStem cells that can become almost all types of tissues and
cells in the body.
T lymphocytes -ANSform in the thymus and other lymphatic tissue and attack cancer
cells, viruses, and foreign substances
-CD4+ (Helper T)
-CD8+ (Cytotoxic T)
What is an alkylating agent? -ANSAn agent that causes a break in the DNA helix strand,
causing interference with DNA replication, which results in cell death
Common alkylating agents -ANS-cyclophasphamide (cytoxan)
-Ifosphamide (Ifex)
-bendamustine (Treanda)
Common platinum-based agents -ANS-Cisplatin (Platinol)
-Carboplatin (Paraplatin)
What are the Nitrosoureas? -ANSa sub classification of alkylating agents
