1. Plasma minus its clotting proteins is call________.

Serum
2. _______ is the consolidation or tightening of the fbrin
clot that helps to bring the edges of a damaged vessel
closer together.
clot retraction
3. Hemoglobin functions in transporting both oxygen and
carbon dioxide and in regulating blood pressure.
true
4. The most numerous white blood cells in a diferential
WBC count of a healthy individual are the neutrophils.
True
5. Which of the following are NOT required for clot
formation?(1)vitamin K (2)calcium (3)prostacyclin
(4)plasmin (5)fbrinogen
e. 3 an 4
6. What are the steps of hemostasis in order?
(1) Vascular spasm
(2) Adhesion and aggregation of platelets on damaged
vessel
(3) Prothrombinase formed by extrinsic or intrinsic pathway
(4) Conversion of prothrombin into thrombin
(5) Conversion of fbrinogen into fbrin
7. Explain why RBCs are highly specialized for oxygen
transport?
b. RBCs contain hemoglobin and lack a nucleus. Their
biconcave shape provides a large surface area for the
inward and outward difusion of gas molecules. RBCs can
carry up to four oxygen molecules for each hemoglobin
molecule.
8. Which of the following are true?
c. White blood cells leave the bloodstream by emigration.
Adhesion molecules help white blood cells stick to the
endothelium, which aids in emigration. Neutrophils and
macrophages are active in phagocytosis. The attraction of
phagocytes to microbes and infamed tissue is termed
chemotaxis.
9. A person with A- blood can receive a blood transfusion
from which of the following types?
(1)A+ (2)B- (3)AB- (4)O- (5)A-
d. 4 and 5
10. A person with type B+ blood receives a transfusion of
type AB+ blood. What will happen?
a. The recipients antibodies will react with the donors red
blood cells
11. What happens to iron that is released during the
breakdown of damaged red blood cells?
(d) It attaches to transferrin and is transported to bone
marrow for use in hemoglobin synthesis.
12. Which of the following would not cause an increase in
erythropoietin?
(1) anemia (b) high altitude (c) hemorrhage (d) donating
blood (e) polycethymia
e.
13. Match the following:
(a) the percentage of total blood volume occupied by red
blood cells (4) hematocrit
(b) the percentage of each type of white blood cell (7)
diferential white blood cell count
(c) measures numbers of RBCs, WBCs, platelets per u of
blood; hematocrit; and diferential WBC count (6)
complete blood count
(d) measures the rate of erythropoiesis (1) reticulocyte
count
(e) withdrawal of blood from a vein using a needle and
collecting tube (3) venipuncture
(f) withdrawal of a small amount of red bone marrow with a
fne needle and syringe (5) bone marrow aspiration
(g) removal of a core of red bone marrow with a large
needle (2) bone marrow biopsy
14. Match the following:
(a) contain hemoglobin and function in gas transport (4)
Red blood cells
(b) cell fragments enclosed by a piece of the cell
membrane of megakaryocytic; contain clotting factors (6)
platelets
(c) white blood cell showing a kidney-shaped nucleus;
capable of phagocytosis (2) monocytes
(d) monocytes that roam the tissues and gather at sites of
infection or infammation (7) wandering macrophages
(e) occur as B cells, T cells, and natural killer cells (1)
lymphocytes
(f) give rise to red blood cells, monocytes, neutrophils,
eosinophils, basophils, and platelets (5) myeloid stem
cells
(g) give rise to all the formed elements of blood; derived
from mesenchyme (3) pluripotent stem cells
15. Match the following:
(a)tissue protein that leaks into the blood from cells
outside blood vessels and initiates the formation of
prothrombinase (4) thromboplastin
(b) an anticoagulant (6) heparin
(c) its formation is initiated by either the extrinsic or
intrinsic pathway or both; catalyzes the conversion of
prothrombin to thrombin (1) prothrombinase
(d) forms the threads of a clot; produced from fbrinogen
(3) fbrin
(e) can dissolve a clot by digesting fbrin threads (5)
plasmin
(f) serves as the catalyst to form fbrin; formed from
prothrombin (2) thrombin
