Answer: Neutrophil

Neutrophils account for fifty five percent of white blood cells.

2. Which white blood cell releases chemicals to inhibit blood clotting?

Answer: Basophils

Stopping the clotting of blood will allow an increase of blood flow to damaged tissue.

3. Red blood cells are recycled in the spleen and liver.

Answer: True

Iron is the primary substance that is recycled.

4. Sickle cell anemia is a condition caused by hemoglobin crystallizing in high O2 conditions.

Answer: False

Sickle cell anemia is hereditary, where red blood cells are malformed.

5. Hematopoiesis is the destruction of blood cells.

Answer: False

This is the production of blood cells.

6. Erythropoietin, a hormone which triggers red blood cell production, is released from which organ(s)?

Answer: kidneys

Vitamin B12 and folic acid also influence red blood cell production.

7. The average life span of a red blood cell is?

Answer: 120 days

Red blood cells are then recycled in the spleen and liver.

8. Thrombocytopenia refers to a low count of which of the following?

Answer: platelets

When thrombocytopenia is present, the individual is at a high risk of bleeding tendencies.

9. Bands are which of these immature white blood cells?

Answer: Neutrophils

They are called bands because of the C-shaped nucleus.

10. The normal white blood count in an adult is 500 to 1500 per mm3.

Answer: False

An increase in the number of white blood cells indicates infection and a low number of white blood cells put the individual at risk for infection.
