A. A false increase in hematocrit (Hct) value A Insufficient centrifugation does not pack down the red blood cells; therefore, the Hct, which is the volume of packed cells, will increase. Insufficient centrifugation will result in: A. A false increase in hematocrit (Hct) value B. A false decrease in Hct value C. No effect on Hct value D. All of these options, depending on the patient A. Anisocytosis A A mature erythrocyte is approximately 7-8 μm in diameter. Variation in nor...

Which is true regarding the red blood cell? The body increases the amount of RBC progenitors at all times to increase the response time when anemia occurs. Active hematopoiesis in an adult would most likely take place in the: Hip What are the two reasons that the erythrocyte loses its nucleus?(multiple) To gain membrane deformability; To allow for better oxygen transport into the tissues What is the major function of the erythrocyte? Oxygen transport Which descibe...

Variation in red cell size observed on the peripheral smear is described as: A. Anisocytosis B. Hypochromia C. Poikilocytosis D. Pleocytosis A. Anisocytosis A mature erythrocyte is approximately 7-8um in diameter. Variation in normal size is denoted by the term anisocytosis. Hypochromia is a term that indicates increased central pallor in erythrocytes, and poikilocytosis denotes variation in red cell shape. Which of the following is the preferable site for bone marrow aspiration a...
