Which of the following statements about blood is/are true?

The reticulocytes are not fully mature erythrocytes

Membrane of normal erythrocytes has high flexibility.

Leukocytes are the predominant cells of blood.

Serum contains fibrinogen.

Which statements regarding leukocytes are correct?

Basophils are the least numerous white blood cells.

Monocytes differentiate into macrophages.

Neutrophils are the largest leukocytes with basophilic cytoplasm and kidney shaped nuclei.

Monocytes make up about 25-35% of leukocytes.

What is true about megakaryocytes?

Are cytoplasmic remnants of monocytes.

Circulate in blood.

Are the least numerous white blood cells.

Have poliploid nucleus.

What is true about the neural crest?

The neural crest originates form cells located along the lateral margins of the neural plate.

Neural cells arise as a result of an inductive action by neuroectoderm.

Neural cells arise as a result of an inductive action by non-neural ectoderm.

The neural crest originates from mesoderm.

Which molecules are permissive for neural crest cells migration?

Ephrin B1.

Molecules present in basal lamina.

Type IV collagen.

Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans.

What is true about hemopoiesis?

Hemopoiesis depends on a microenvironment with specific endocrine, paracrine and juxtracrine factors.

Red blood cells develop from myeloid cell.

Hemopoiesis occurs in the bone marrow of children and adults.

Hemopoiesis growth factors stimulate proliferation of progenitor and precursor cells.

What is true about platelets and its formation?

After platelets formation megakaryotes undergo apoptosis

Processes of the megakaryotes are called proplatelets

Reduction in the number of circulating platelets is call thrombocytopenia

Platelets are produced under influence of thrombopolrtin

What is true about platelets?

Platelets produce blood-clotting factors

Promote blood clotting

Have kidney-shaped nucleus

Are cytoplasmic remnants of monocytes

Contain granules, mitochondria, glycogen

Which connection: blood cells and their feature is/are true?

Eosinophils – increase in number during parasitic infestation

Erythrocytes – determination of blood groups

Basophils – clotting of blood

Lymphocytes B – have no nucleus

Lymphocytes – fat storage

Which of the following statements about erythrocytes is/are true

Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide

Hemoglobin of erythrocyte is protein specialized for transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide

No nucleus
