    Veins
  • When testing for blood, what is typically measured?
    When testing for blood, components such as red blood cell count, white blood cell count, hemoglobin levels, and hematocrit are typically measured.
  • What are the three most abundant plasma proteins and their functions?
    The three most abundant plasma proteins are albumin (maintains osmotic pressure), globulins (immune function), and fibrinogen (blood clotting).
  • What components make up blood?
    Plasma, Red blood cells, White blood cells
  • What are two terms associated with myeloid tissue?
    Two terms associated with myeloid tissue are red bone marrow and hematopoiesis.
  • When assessing a client with anemia, what should be evaluated?
    When assessing a client with anemia, hemoglobin levels, hematocrit, and red blood cell count should be evaluated.
  • What begins the intrinsic pathway of coagulation?
    The intrinsic pathway of coagulation begins with the activation of Factor XII.
  • Which serum biomarker is highly specific for myocardial tissue?
    Troponin is a serum biomarker highly specific for myocardial tissue.

    Myeloid stem cells give rise to red blood cells and platelets.
  • What initiates the extrinsic pathway of blood clotting?
    It is initiated by tissue factor
