GMDC BLOOD MCQ 1 5 Quiz 1 / 20 In the haemostasis process, what forms as a result of the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways? prothrombinase thrombin fibrin a platelet plug The extrinsic and intrinsic pathways form prothrombinase (also called prothrombin activator) from factor X. The extrinsic and intrinsic pathways form prothrombinase (also called prothrombin activator) from factor X. 2 / 20 Which is the most abundant plasma protein? mitochondria alpha- and beta- globulin haemoglobin albumin About 58 percent of plasma proteins are albumins. Haemoglobin is a protein but it is contained within the rbc. About 58 percent of plasma proteins are albumins. Haemoglobin is a protein but it is contained within the rbc. 3 / 20 In haemostasis, which molecule polymerises to become the insoluble blood clot? thrombin fibrin plasmin factor X Fibrin is a monomer that polymerises to form a soft clot, then crosslinking between fibrin produces a stable, web-like hard clot. Fibrin is a monomer that polymerises to form a soft clot, then crosslinking between fibrin produces a stable, web-like hard clot. 4 / 20 What type of blood may a patient with blood type Bpositive be infused with? Any blood that is negative for antigen A negative for rhesus antigen D positive for rhesus antigen D negative for antigen B A patient that is Bpositive may receive Bpositive, Bnegative, Opositive or Onegative blood because those types do not have antigen A in the plasma. A patient that is Bpositive may receive Bpositive, Bnegative, Opositive or Onegative blood because those types do not have antigen A in the plasma. 5 / 20 To which of the following would the term white cell NOT be applied? leucocyte erythrocyte monocyte lymphocyte An erythrocyte is a red blood cell An erythrocyte is a red blood cell 6 / 20 Which individuals can receive any type of blood and are considered universal recipients? Onegative Bnegative Apositive ABpositive People with ABpositive blood do not have agglutinins (antibodies) against A, B, or D in their plasma. Hence can receive any blood without causing the rbc in the donated blood to clump People with ABpositive blood do not have agglutinins (antibodies) against A, B, or D in their plasma. Hence can receive any blood without causing the rbc in the donated blood to clump 7 / 20 In the process of haemostasis, which phase involves the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways? the platelet phase the clot lysis phase the coagulation phase the vascular phase The clotting (coagulation phase) has these two pathways. The clotting (coagulation phase) has these two pathways. 8 / 20 What is the SECOND step in the three phases of haemostasis listed below? The intrinsic pathway The extrinsic pathway The platelet phase The vascular phase The three phases are: vascular phase, platelet phase, coagulation phase (which, in turn has 3 steps). The three phases are: vascular phase, platelet phase, coagulation phase (which, in turn has 3 steps). 9 / 20 Which enzyme converts fibrinogen to fibrin? renin thrombin secretin serotonin Thrombin is the enzyme. It is not present until prothrombinase converts prothrombin to thrombin. Thrombin is the enzyme. It is not present until prothrombinase converts prothrombin to thrombin. 10 / 20 What is found in blood serum that is also in blood plasma? platelets plasma proteins clotting factors blood cells Plasma proteins (except fibrinogen) are in plasma and in serum. Serum = plasma minus the clotting factors. Blood cells and platelets are not in plasma. Plasma proteins (except fibrinogen) are in plasma and in serum. Serum = plasma minus the clotting factors. Blood cells and platelets are not in plasma. 11 / 20 Which of the following is NOT a macrophage? Dendrocyte Monocyte Kupffer cell Megakaryocyte A megakaryocyte is the cell that produces the membrane covered cell fragments known as platelets. It is not a macrophage. A dendrocyte is also known as a Langerhans cell or a granstein cell. A megakaryocyte is the cell that produces the membrane covered cell fragments known as platelets. It is not a macrophage. A dendrocyte is also known as a Langerhans cell or a granstein cell. 12 / 20 Which is the LEAST common type of white blood cell? thrombocyte basophil neutrophil lymphocyte Less than 1 percent of wbc are basophils. Neutrophils are the most common. Thrombocytes are not wbc Less than 1 percent of wbc are basophils. Neutrophils are the most common. Thrombocytes are not wbc 13 / 20 What are red blood cells primarily composed of? albumin alpha- and beta- globulins mitochondria haemoglobin About one third of the mass of a rbc is haemoglobin.Other choices are plasma proteins and are not in rbc. About one third of the mass of a rbc is haemoglobin.Other choices are plasma proteins and are not in rbc. 14 / 20 What is the term formed elements used to mean in a description of blood? blood serum blood plasma the clotting factors in blood white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets Formed elements are the non-liquid or solute parts of the blood. Formed elements are the non-liquid or solute parts of the blood. 15 / 20 Which blood cells are involved in protecting the body from pathogens and foreign cells? haemoglobin platelets erythrocytes leucocytes Leucocytes (white blood cells) include NK (natural killer), T and B lymphocytes and macrophages and microphages. Leucocytes (white blood cells) include NK (natural killer), T and B lymphocytes and macrophages and microphages. 16 / 20 What is the first process that occurs after a blood vessel is damaged? coagulation platelet plug formation haemolysis vasoconstriction Almost immediately (within 2 secs) after a blood vessel is cut the vessel walls contract in a spasm to slow the flow of blood (vessel diameter decreases). Almost immediately (within 2 secs) after a blood vessel is cut the vessel walls contract in a spasm to slow the flow of blood (vessel diameter decreases). 17 / 20 Which type of white blood cell is responsible for engulfing pathogens during phagocytosis? neutrophil basophil thrombocyte erythrocyte Neutrophils are microphages thats phagocytes of bacteria. Thrombocytes and erythrocytes are not wbc. Neutrophils are microphages thats phagocytes of bacteria. Thrombocytes and erythrocytes are not wbc. 18 / 20 What does Rhesus positive refer to? The final factor involved in blood clotting A deficiency of Factor VIII that results in haemophilia The presence of antigen D on the surface of red blood cells The presence of the rhesus antibody/agglutinin in the blood Rh factor, Rh positive and Rh negative refer to the D antigen only. If the antigen is present on your rbc, you are called Rh-positive (you have the Rh factor). Rh factor, Rh positive and Rh negative refer to the D antigen only. If the antigen is present on your rbc, you are called Rh-positive (you have the Rh factor). 19 / 20 Which characteristic of blood refers to the concentration of solutes? salinity osmolality viscosity pH Osmolality is the number of osmoles (osmol) of solute per kilogram of solvent. (osmolarity (with an r) is defined as the number of osmoles of solute per litre of solution). Osmolality is the number of osmoles (osmol) of solute per kilogram of solvent. (osmolarity (with an r) is defined as the number of osmoles of solute per litre of solution). 20 / 20 The blood group known as the ABO system is based on the presence of what proteins on blood cells? immunoglobulins antibodies antigens agglutinins Antigens are on the membrane of the rbc. The other three terms all describe the same thing Antigens are on the membrane of the rbc. The other three terms all describe the same thing Your score is Send feedback
