The bone marrow slide shows that cells are mitotic and dividing, with two or more nuclei.  Which term would best describe this evaluation?

What type of inflammatory condition is characterized by an increased number of macrophages on a bone marrow aspirate smear?

A condition in which there is a lower-than-normal number of red and white blood cells as well as platelets in the blood.

The definition of the term "leukemia" is neoplastic cells in the blood or bone marrow.

What is the color(s) of the tube (s) that we would use for hematology.

If you were given only a red/gold top, purple top, and green top, what is the order of draw? Assume that red and gold are the same tube.

What is the normal ratio of nucleated cells to fat in adult bone marrow?

What is the normal ratio of nucleated cells to fat in juvenile bone marrow?

What is the normal ratio of nucleated cells to fat in geriatric bone marrow?

Which type of lymphocyte matures only in the thymus?

Which type of anticoagulant prevents clotting by converting prothrombin to thrombin during the clotting process?

The suffix "philia" means an increased number of cells.

A "neutropenia" means that there are an increased number of neutrophils in a sample.

Whole blood is composed of fluid and cells. Which of the following is the fluid component of blood?

Which type of hematology analyzer uses a method, to evaluate cells, that is based on the passage of electric current across two electrodes separated by a glass tube with a small opening with electrolyte fluid on either side of the aperture to conduct the current?

The IDEXX ProCyte, hematology analyzer, uses (3) methods to evaluate cells.  Which three methods does it use?

Manual cell counts are rarely performed except in which of the following animals?

A packed cell volume on a sample is 30%. Which of the following would be the estimated red blood cell count?

Which is the correct formula for estimating the red blood cell estimate from a packed cell volume?

Which condition can result in an artificially high packed cell volume?

Which of the following responses can be a possible cause of relative polycythemia?

A technician needs to calculate the absolute value of neutrophils on a blood smear. The neutrophil percentage on the relative white blood cell count is 78%, and the total WBC count is 6.0 x 10⁹/L. Remember you need to convert 6.0 x 10⁹/L to mcl or mm³ first. What is the absolute value of neutrophils for this patient?

We complete a manual WBC differential to check the automated values that are out of the normal range for each type of white blood cell.

We count 150 WBC's for a manual differential.

The monolayer or "Area of Even Distribution" is usually a distance of one 10x field behind the feathered edge and is the optimal area for examination of cells, because it dries quickly and cells are well spread (not overlapping) and not disrupted.

Neutrophils are part of the innate immune system and are the first line of (and are essential for) defense against bacterial pathogens.

Bone marrow is responding to the loss of blood in regenerative anemia.

What is nonregenerative anemia?

In nonregenerative anemia, reticulocytes are ______ in blood.

Which term best describes the increase in the number of immature neutrophils in the peripheral blood?

Which term best describes neoplastic cells present in the blood or bone marrow?

Which of the following is a bacterial or viral agent that can cause hemolytic anemia?

Fill in the blank: ________ is a toxic exposure that can cause hemolytic anemia.

Which domestic animal species does not typically release reticulocytes from the bone marrow even if in regenerative anemia?
