detects basophilic stippling, Howell-Jolly bodies, and Pappenheimer bodies
Term
Schilling test
Definition
labelled B12 absorption is measured without intrinsic factor, then with, to determine if the patient has a deficiency (<7% in urine)
Term
osmotic fragility test
Definition
tests for a cell's resiliance to change in salinity (spherocytes will burst due to poor SA/V ratio)
Term
Leukemoid reaction
Definition
an increase of WBCs in the marrow due to an infection, trauma, etc rather than cancer. (> 25-30E9/L)
Term
the first step of hemostasis
Definition
vasoconstriction limits flow
Term
2nd step of hemostasis
Definition
platelets form primary clot, then clotting factors form secondary
Term
3rd step of hemostasis
Definition
clot helps wound recreate smooth muscle to heal, and can then be lyzed
Term
platelet (thrombocyte)
Definition
piece of megakaryocyte secreted from the spleen in the event of injury to blood vessels, to help form clots
Term
platelet aggregometer
Definition
measures the ability of the related body to perform the related task through measurement of increasing light transmittance
Term
Christmas disease (hemophilia B)
Definition
absence of clotting factor IX causes hemorraging, excessive bleeding, bruising, etc.
Term
bernard-soulier syndrome
Definition
absence of glycoprotein Ib, lessens platelet ability to aggregate
Term
von willebrand's disease
Definition
defect on chromosome 12 results in the defect or absence of the related factor at three different severities the third being the worst (spontaneous bleeding into joints)
Term
hemophilia
Definition
lack of a clotting factor results in poor clotting...go figure

Hemophilia A
Definition
lack of clotting factor VIII
Term
Hemophilia C
Definition
lack of clotting factor XI, non-sex linked, Ashkenazi Jews are more susceptible
Term
fibrin
Definition
clotting factor made in liver from related glycoprotein
Term
heparin
