HEMATOLOGY: WBCs and Platelets
Across
- 12. A condition where immunoglobulins/antibodies target neutrophils or antigens attached to their surface, causing their destruction.
- 14. This error can cause a falsely decreased platelet count on automated counts.
- 16. Basophilia most commonly occurs with?
- 18. A coagulation test that evaluates the intrinsic and common coagulation pathways.
- 19. This serves as a bridge on damaged epithelium and eventually where platelets tend to adhere.
- 20. The avian version of neutrophils.
Down
- 1. This evaluates the intrinsic and common coagulation pathways.
- 2. A type of microbial infection that causes lymphopenia and neutropenia.
- 3. This evaluates the extrinsic and common coagulation pathways.
- 4. A group of drugs that causes mild left shift in animals.
- 5. These cells are larger than normal platelets.
- 6. This refers to the condition where the number of mature neutrophils exceeds the number of immature neutrophils, with typical to increasing total WBC count.
- 7. What does hypersegmented neutrophils usually indicate?
- 8. Anticoagulant of choice for most coagulation tests.
- 9. This measures the average platelet size.
- 10. TRUE/FALSE. Low platelet numbers can prolong BMBT.
- 11. Chemotactic mediator for eosinophils.
- 13. This measures the variation in platelet size within a blood sample.
- 15. An older test of the intrinsic coagulation mechanism
- 17. These are small cytoplasmic fragments shed from bone marrow megakaryocytes.
