Questions With Complete Solutions

1. Apoferritin
2. Hemosiderin Correct Answer 1. Ferritin without attached
iron - (precursor to ferritin)

2. Ferritin micelles (very small cells) - the storage form of
ferritin ▪ Normal in small amounts in spleen, liver, bone marrow
▪ Can be pathophysiological in large amounts (lung,
subcutaneous tissue)

1. Endotoxin vs. 2. Exotoxin Correct Answer 1. Contained in
the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria and released during lysis
of bacteria
-- Pyrogenic bacteria: activate inflammation and produce fever

2. Enzymes released during growth
-- Damages cell membranes, activates second messengers,
inhibits protein synthesis

Active bone marrow sites Correct Answer pelvic bones
vertebrae
cranium
mandible
sternum
ribs
humerus
femur

,Active Immunity vs Passive Immunity Correct Answer Natural
exposure to foreign antigens (i.e immunization); slow onset,
long-lived

Passive: preformed antibodies from another host (i.e maternal
antibodies passed through placenta to fetus); rapid onset, short-
lived

Adaptive Immunity
- Third line of defense Correct Answer More
sophisticated/specific, less players, inducible, slower

Destruction of infectious microorganisms that are resistant to
inflammation

Long-term highly effective protection against future exposure to
the same microorganisms

Products: immunoglobulins (antibodies), lympocytes (T-cells,
B-cells)

ADP Correct Answer Prothrombotic
▪ Platelet activation
▪ Stimulate shape change into spiny shape "sticky" to allow for
aggregation

Agranulocytes Correct Answer Lymphocytes, NK cells,
monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells

No granules

,Alcohol Induced Macrocytic Megaloblastic Anemia Correct
Answer Large, immature RBCs

- Alcohol interferes with absorption of folic acid
(megaloblastic); hbg synthesis (sideroblastic anemia);
erythropoiesis (macrocytosis)

- Anemia reverses with abstinence from alcohol within weeks -
self limiting

Alloimmunity Correct Answer Immune reaction to tissues of
another individual

Anemia of chronic disease Correct Answer Type of
Normocytic-Normochromic Anemias

- Most common in elderly

- Begins as normocytic and progresses to microcytic when
advanced

- Likely due to inflammation

- Findings: decreased TIBC, elevated ferritin; (more ferritin/less
transferrin)

** Bone marrow can distinguish between IDA and ACD **

Anisocytosis
Poikilocytosis Correct Answer Variation in RBC size
Variation in RBC shape

, Anthrax Correct Answer Bioweapon

Microorganism responsible: gram + spore-forming aerobic rod
Bacillus anthracis

CM: Prodromal symptoms then brief period of improvement
followed by rapid onset of high fever, severe respiratory
distress, shock and death within 24-36 hours

Aplastic Anemia Correct Answer Type of Normocytic-
Normochromic Anemias

Red bone marrow is replaced with fat; results in pancytopenia
because there are less hematopoietic cells

Most often caused by autoimmune

S&S: hypoxemia, pallor, weakness, dyspnea, fever

Diagnose via bone marrow biopsy

B Cells Correct Answer • Made in bone marrow; activated B
cells create plasma cells which turn into antibodies

• Responsible for humoral immunity that is mediated by
circulating antibodies

• Antibodies bind to antigens on bacteria and viruses
