(Select all that apply) [x] Mature red blood cells are anuclear and lack most other cellular organelles [x] Erythropoietin, the major hormone involved in erythropoiesis, is produced in the kidney [x] The component of blood that consists of red blood cells is called the hematocrit [ ] The spleen is the location of both erythropoiesis and destruction of old red blood cellsQ10.

(X) Venom would increase coagulation ( ) Venom would decrease thrombolysis ( ) Venom would increase platelet plug formation ( ) All of the above Q13. You work in an emergency room and have just been assigned a patient who has been in a very severe car accident, causing massive blood loss. You need to give them a blood transfusion.

Both the extrinsic and intrinsic coagulation pathways end with activation of factor X. (X) True ( ) False Q15. You add an anti-A antigen antibody to a blood sample and observe no agglutination or lysis. It is therefore possible that the patient that the blood sample was taken from is blood type AB-.
