Q

hyperemia

A

increased blood in an area compared to normal, due to increased blood flow due to ARTERIAL DILATION
-active process
-organ turns red and hot, because this is increased oxygenated blood

congestion

A

increased blood in area compared to normal, due to impaired OUTFLOW from a tissue (constricted venules)

Q

petechia

Study These Flashcards
A

1-2 mm hemorrhages (tiny)
-etiologies include thrombocytopenia, platelet/clotting coagulation defects, capillary abnormalities
-specific locations include skin, mucous membranes, serosal surfaces

20
Q

massive hemorrhage filling a body cavity

Study These Flashcards
A

hemothorax, hemopericardium, etc

21
Q

hemostasis

Study These Flashcards
A

well-regulated processes to:
1) maintain blood in fluid, clot-free state AND
2) induce rapid and localized hemostatic plug at site of vascular injury

22
Q

3 components of hemostasis

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. endothelial cells
  2. platelets
  3. coagulation cascade
23
Q

normal function of endothelium during hemostasis

Study These Flashcards
A

inhibit thrombosis (normal endothelial cells prevent blood clotting)
-inactivates thrombin and factors Xa and IXa
-inhibit platelet aggregation

24
Q

endothelial cells after cell injury

Study These Flashcards
A

favor thrombosis (tell the blood to clot)
-exposure of membrane-bound tissue factor initiates extrinsic coagulation sequence
-express vWF, which promotes platelet aggregation

25
platelets and hemostasis
1. adhesion and conformational shape change (exposed vWF interacts with platelet glycoprotein Ib receptor) 2. secretion (release of pro-binding chemokines and cofactors like Ca2+; exposure of phospholipid membrane/complex) 3. aggregation (fibrinogen links platelets via GpIIb-IIIa; secrete thromboxane, ADP, and aggregating factors)
26
antithrombin III - coagulation inhibition
inhibits factors XIIa, XIa, Xa, IXa, and thrombin *heparin stimulates antithrombin III
27
proteins C and S - coagulation inhibition
proteins C and S inactivate Va and VIIIa (accelerants) *activated by thrombin and thrombomodulin
28
plasmin
plasminogen is activated to plasmin, which DEGRADES FIBRIN -activated by tPA
29
thrombosis
inappropriate activation of normal hemostasis (formation of blood clots in normal vasculature) *pathologic opposite to hemostasis
30
what causes thrombosis
pathologic endothelial injury (ex. atherosclerosis)
31
stasis
venous thrombosis (ex. DVT)
32
turbulence
arterial thrombosis -disruption of laminar flow *common where there is bifurcation of blood vessels
33
arterial thrombi
common sites: coronary, cerebral, femoral -begin at site of endothelial injury **Lines of Zahn
34
lines of Zahn
alternating pale layers of platelets with dark layers of trapped RBCs; imply thrombosis at site of blood flow **characteristic of ARTERIAL thrombosis
35
venous thrombi
common sites: veins of lower extremities and gonadal veins -occur at sites of stasis (sluggish blood flow) -impaired venous outflow increases hydrostatic pressure and can cause edema
36
sequelae of thrombus - what can happen to a thrombus after it forms
1. propagation (obstruction of a blood vessel) 2. embolization (thrombi may dislodge and travel to other sites in vasculature) 3. dissolution (thrombi may be removed by fibrinolytic activity) 4. organization and recanalization (thrombi induce inflammation, fibrosis, and re-endothelialization, ultimately re-establishing vascular flow)
37
embolization
detached intravascular solid, liquid, or gas carried by blood to distant site from point of origin *typically caused by dislodged thrombi
38
pulmonary thromboembolism
-usually originate from deep leg vein thrombi -passes through the right heart into pulmonary vasculature
39
systemic thromboembolism
-arise from/traveling within ARTERIAL circulation -commonly from a cardiac mural thrombi (thrombus in the wall of the heart) -travels to lower extremities, brain, etc
40
fat embolism
common following fracture of long bones with fatty marrow
41
air embolism
most commonly associated with chest wall injury or decompression sickness (the bends)
42
tumor embolism
tumor enters circulation and acts like a blood clot, then pieces go wherever the blood flow goes
43
amniotic fluid embolism
amniotic membrane tear and rupture of uterine veins -rare complication of labor
44
infarction
ischemic necrosis caused by occlusion of arterial supply or venous drainage
45
red/hemorrhagic infarct
-VENOUS occlusions -commonly impacts loose tissues or tissues with dual circulations; blood pools from other blood supplies to re-perfuse the tissue
46
white/pale infarcts
-ARTERIAL occlusions -commonly impact solid organs (heart, spleen, kidneys) -no dual blood supply -no re-perfusion
