Chapter 1 Flashcards
- purplish red, pinpoint hemorrhagic spots in the skin caused by loss of capillary ability to withstand normal blood pressure and trauma.
Petechiae
- produced by hemorrhage of blood into small areas of skin, mucous membranes, and other tissues.
Purpura
First appears red-purple the turns brownish yellow
Purpura
- a form of purpura in which blood escapes into large areas of skin or mucous membranes, but not into deep tissue.
Ecchymosis
Appears Black/blue then turns greenish brown to yellow
Ecchymosis
- nosebleed
Epistaxis
- leakage of blood into a joint cavity
Hemarthrosis
- vomiting of blood
Hematemesis
- expectoration of blood secondary to hemorrhage in the larynx, trachea, bronchi or lungs
Hemoptysis
- a swelling or tumor in the tissues or a body cavity that contains clotted blood
Hematoma
- in vivo blood clot causing vascular occlusion and tissue ischemia
Thrombus
- formation, presence of a clot in a blood vessel
Thrombosis
- presence of intact red cells in the urine
Hematuria
- presence of hemoglobin in the urine
Hemoglobinuria
- passage of dark tarry stool containing decomposing blood.
Melena
- excessive menstrual bleeding
Menorrhagia
- passage of blood in feces
Hematochezia
Hemostasis- a complex mechanism that
1. retains the blood within the[?] during periods of injury
2. localizes the reaction involved to the [?] of injury
3. repairs and re-establishes [?] through the injured vessels
vascular system
site
blood flow
Three Hemostatic Components:
Extravascular components
Vascular components
Intravascular components
Play a part in hemostasis by providing back pressure on the injured vessel through swelling and entrapment of escaped blood
Extravascular components
Extravascular components Depends on the
• [?] of surrounding tissue
• [?] of tissue
• [?] of the surrounding tissue
bulk or amount
type
tone
Vascular components Depends on:
Size of the [?]
Amount of [?] within their wall
Integrity of the [?]
blood vessels
smooth muscle
endothelial cell lining
Platelets and biochemicals in the plasma
Intravascular components
STAGES OF HEMOSTASIS
Primary Hemostasis
Secondary Hemostasis
