| Question | Answer |
| Blood is a connective tissue that is composed to 2 main components: ___ and ___ ___ | Plasma; blood cells |
| These type of blood cells have no nucleus and no cell organelles | Erythrocytes |
| Young/immature RBCs; stain slightly more bluish | Reticulocytes |
| ___ means that there are RBCs of varying sizes on the blood smear | Anisocytosis |
| ___ means that there are RBCs of varying shapes on the blood smear | Poikilocytosis |
| Regular aggregates of RBCs resembling “stacking coins” Normal finding in equine blood, but generally abnormal in cats and dogs | Rouleaux |
| Irregular clumping of RBCs that must be distinguished from Rouleaux | Agglutination |
| 5 types of leukocytes (WBCs) | Neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils |
| Which WBCs belong in the polymorphonuclear category? | Neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils |
| Which WBCs fall into the peripheral blood mononuclear leukocyte category? | Monocytes and lymphocytes |
| What are the 2 types of cytoplasmic granules in all granulocytes? | Primary (azurophilic) and secondary (specific) |
| This leukocyte has a segmented nucleus and it’s cytoplasm may contain secondary granules. Cytoplasm generally stains neutral to pink | Neutrophils |
| This leukocyte has a bi-lobed nucleus and has a cytoplasm with eosinophilic granules that are large and stain bright orange-red | Eosinophils |
| This leukocyte has a bi-lobed nucleus and a cytoplasm that contains basophilic granules that stain deep purple to blue | Basophils |
| This leukocyte has a kidney-shaped nucleus and a foamy cytoplasm | Monocyte |
| These cells are small, have a discoid shape, and stain purple. They are the smallest cellular element among all blood cells | Platelets |
| This leukocyte has a single, spherical, slightly indented nucleus. It is larger than a RBC and it’s nucleus is roughly the size of a normal RBC | Lymphocyte |
| What are the 2 types of lymphocytes | T lymphocytes (think thyroid) B lymphocytes (think bone marrow) |
| These are all examples of? | Lymphocytes |
| These are all examples of? | Basophils |
| This is an example of? | Eosinophil |
| These are all examples of? | Neutrophils |
| These are all examples of? | Monocytes |
