  1. Is IMHA usually seen with regenerative or non-regenerative anemia?
    Why?
    regenerative b/c commonly seen w/ high reticulocyte counts
  2. What are spherocytes?
    small RBC lack central pallor
  3. When are spherocytes seen?IAB
    • IMHA
    • after blood transfusions
    • burn injuries
  4. Basophillic stippling is seen in what species as a response to anemia?
    • ruminants
    • cats
  5. When do you commonly see inc/ high numbers of howell jolly bodies? Why?
    • after spenectomy/spenic disorders
    • phagocytic cells of spleen would normally remove cells containing nuclear remnants

  14. What are two main phases of hemostasis?
    • primary/mechanical
    • secondary/chemical
  15. Which phase of hemostasis forms an unstable fibrin clot?
    primary/mechanical
  16. Within the primary phase of hemostasis, what is the charged surface that attracts platelets?
    subendothelium of the vessel
  17. Which phase of hemostasis involves the coagulation cascade?

  18. What is the coagulation cascade?
    the process of coagulation factors undergoing chemical reactions and forming an extrinsic or intrinsic pathway
  19. What is the end result of the coagulation cascade?
    the formation of fibrin strands that forms the clot
  20. What are your 2 pathways for the activation of the coagulation cascade?
    • intrinsic
    • extrinsic
  21. Which pathway is surface activated, only using components of the blood?
    intrinsic
