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