Question 3

A patient's laboratory report shows an increased number of reticulocytes. What is a possible cause for this finding?

Accepted Answer

An increased number of reticulocytes indicates increased red blood cell production, which can occur when a person moves to a higher altitude due to lower oxygen levels, stimulating erythropoiesis.

Question 4

What is the normal life span of a red blood cell?

Accepted Answer

The normal life span of a red blood cell is around 120 days, after which they are removed from circulation by the spleen and liver. Option A is too short, Option B is too long, and Option D is too long for a red blood cell's lifespan.

Question 5

During hemoglobin recycling, heme is initially broken down into

Accepted Answer

Heme is broken down into iron and bilirubin during hemoglobin recycling. Iron is recycled and used to make new red blood cells, while bilirubin is transported to the liver and converted into bile before being excreted from the body.

Question 7

An immature erythrocyte is called a

Accepted Answer

An immature erythrocyte is called a reticulocyte. Myeloblast, megakaryocyte, and progranulocyte are all immature cells of other types of blood cells (white blood cells and platelets).

Question 8

Which component of blood plasma plays a role in blood clotting and the regulation of fluid volume?

Accepted Answer

Proteins in blood plasma, such as fibrinogen and thrombin, play a crucial role in blood clotting. Additionally, proteins such as albumin and globulin help regulate fluid volume and maintain osmotic pressure within the blood vessels. Platelets play a role in blood clotting but are not a component of blood plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen and electrolytes help maintain cellular function and balance, but neither play a direct role in blood clotting or fluid regulation.

Question 9

What is erythropoietin (EPO) and how is it secreted?

Accepted Answer

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone that stimulates the production and maturation of red blood cells. It is primarily secreted by the kidneys in response to low oxygen levels in the body, which can occur due to factors such as high altitude, lung disease, or anemia.

Question 10

a.erythrocyte
g.thrombocyte
b.basophil
h.reticulocyte
c.eosinophil
i.granulocyte
d.neutrophil
j.agranulocyte
e.lymphocyte
k.megakaryocyte
f.monocyte
-Responsible for long-term immunity

Question 11

During hemoglobin recycling, the iron portion of hemoglobin is

Accepted Answer

The iron portion of hemoglobin is recycled by being transported to the bone marrow and used to create new hemoglobin.

Question 12

The stimulus for the production of new red blood cells is

Accepted Answer

The production of new red blood cells is regulated by a hormone called erythropoietin, which is mainly produced in the kidneys in response to declining oxygen levels. When oxygen levels are low, the kidneys release erythropoietin, which stimulates the bone marrow to produce new red blood cells. Therefore, declining oxygen levels are the stimulus for the production of new red blood cells.

Question 13

In an adult, where can red bone marrow be found?

Accepted Answer

Red bone marrow can be found in the ends of long bones and in flat, irregular bones in adults. This is where blood cells are produced. The medullary cavity of long bones is usually filled with yellow bone marrow, which stores fat. The pelvis is a common location for red bone marrow, but it is not the only location. Therefore, the correct option is D.

Question 16

The two types of hematopoietic tissue found in the body are located in

Accepted Answer

Hematopoietic tissue refers to the tissue responsible for the formation of blood cells. The two types of hematopoietic tissue found in the body are red bone marrow and lymphatic tissue. Yellow bone marrow is primarily responsible for fat storage, while the spleen and liver are important organs for filtering and removing old or damaged blood cells, but they do not produce blood cells.

Question 20

A diet rich in which mineral is crucial for hemoglobin synthesis?

Accepted Answer

Iron is crucial for hemoglobin synthesis as it is a component of hemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. A diet rich in iron can help prevent anemia, which is a condition characterized by low levels of red blood cells and hemoglobin. Good sources of iron include red meat, poultry, fish, beans, lentils, spinach, and fortified grains.
