Blood Quiz:
1. Which of these blood cells has a characteristic “telephone receiver” shaped nucleus?
Basophil Eosinophil Neutrophil Monocyte
2. Which of these blood cells has a multi-lobed nucleus?
3. Which of these diagnostic tests is performed to note the identity of the first 100 WBC’s encountered on a blood smear?
Sedimentation rate Hemoglobin determination Differential white count Platelet count
4. Where would a right-handed person place the drop of blood on a microslide when preparing a blood smear?
You would place the drop at the right end of the slide. You would place the drop at the left end of the slide. You would place the drop in the center of the slide. You would place the drop at the far edge of the slide.
5. Why is there no “well” for type-O on the blood typing test plate?
There is no well for type-O because we do not test for type-O. There is no well for type-O because if you lack both A and B, then you must be type-O. There is no well for type-O because we do not need to test for type-O. There is no well for type-O because we only assess Rh.
6. What happens to sedimentation rate during anemia?
During anemia, sedimentation rate will increase. During anemia, sedimentation rate will decrease. During anemia, sedimentation rate will remain the same. During anemia, sedimentation rate is not a clinical factor.
7. Which of these is the old “blotting paper” hemoglobin concentration determination test?
Korotkoff test Anemia test Hemoglobinometer test Tallquist test
8. What am I adding to a blood typing test plate when I add “anti-A”?
When I add anti-A, I am adding the antibody against type-A. When I add anti-A, I am adding the antigen against type-A. When I add anti-A, I am adding the agglutinogen against type-A. When I add anti-A, I am adding the antibody against type-B.
9. A term that means the same as the “hematocrit”.
Antibody Packed cell volume Differential count Antigen White blood count
10. The speed with which an adult’s RBC’s settle to the bottom of a vertical tube.
Varies with age and gender Is the packed cell volume Is always the same Is antigenic Is the same for men and women
11. A word that means the same as agglutinogen.
Antibody Packed cell volume Agglutinin Antigen Monocytic infiltration
12. Which of these tubes are used to perform a coagulation time test?
Fermentation tubes Heparinized tubes Tallquist tubes Antigen fragmenting tubes Nonheparinized capillary tube
13. A word that means the same as agglutinin.
Antigen Agglutinogen Antibody Immune molecules Cascade proteins
14. Time it takes blood removed from a normal person to clot (coagulate).
5-12 minutes 2-7 minutes Antibody Eosinophil Monocyte
15. Agranulocyte that has a large nucleus which looks like it has a “bite” missing.
NOTE: You are responsible for the visual identification of the various blood cells and their structures. You also must be able to visually interpret a blood typing test. Practical applications such as these are an inherent part of each laboratory activity and exam.
