    Study Notes

    Blood and Hematology

    • Basophil is the rarest type of granulocyte.
    • Abnormal MCHC values can be due to artifacts caused by lipemia, icterus, or paraproteinemia.
    • PT and PTT assays require a sodium citrate blood collection tube.

    Biopsy and Laboratory Tests

    • Biopsies for superficial locations do not include the liver.
    • DIC diagnosis does not require a single specific laboratory abnormality, as all of the following must be present, except one.

    Vaginal Cytology

    • During Estrus, superficial cells are predominant in vaginal cytology.

    Enzymes and Diseases

    • Cholesterol disease is indicated by the enzyme lipase.

    Clinical Signs and Symptoms

    • The most common clinical sign associated with thrombocytopenia is petechiae or bleeding.

    Cell Development and Maturation

    • As erythrocytes mature, they become smaller and more spherical.
    • In immature RBC's, dense aggregates of residual RNA remaining are known as Howell-Jolly bodies.

    Staining and Spermatozoa

    • When using the eosin/nigrosin stain, a live spermatozoa will appear unstained.

    Coagulation Abnormalities

    • TRUE: Coagulation abnormalities can lead to extensive hemorrhaging.

    Pesticides and Anticoagulants

    • Ingestion of the pesticide brodifacoum can prolong a patient's PT and PTT.
    • TRUE: Anticoagulants are used to prevent blood clotting in vitro.

    Physics and Refractive Index

    • Refractive index is a measure of how much a substance bends light.
