the formation of ante-mortem clot or formation of ante-mortem intravascular blood clot

38
Q

formed blood clot

A

thrombus

39
Q

A solid structure formed in the bloodstream from the normal constituents of the blood

A

thrombi

40
Q

Causes of thrombosis

  3. Flow of changes
41
Q

Causes of Thrombosis (Virchow’s Triad of Thrombosis)

A

  2. Injury to the vessel
  3. Changes in the blood
42
Q

Outcomes of thrombosis.

A
  1. Lysis and complete removal
  2. Plasmin formed from plasminogen

43
Q

activated during stress, infection or shock, as well as being released from injured tissue

Q

fibrin thrombi present in capillaries

A

hyaline thrombi

45
Q

Detached thrombi in the blood vessel wall are called

A

embolus

46
Q

refers to a process where a solid mass (emboli) is transported from one part of the body to another through the circulatory system

A

embolism

47
Q

a process where floating bodies (embolus/emboli) are transported in the bloodstream

A

embolism

48
Q

an abnormal solid mass which is a common cause of infarction

A

embolus

49
Q

e groups of tumor cells, colonies of bacteria or foreign bodies injected into the blood or pieces of a thrombus that have broken from a primary site

A

embolus

50
Q

Apart from fragments of thrombi, emboli may be?

A

52
Q

Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy is an indication of?

67
Q

Thrombi are attached to blood vessel wall. Once formed outcomes include:

A
  1. Propagation
  2. Removal by fibrinolysis or through phagocytosis
  3. Fibrous tissue organization with recanalization of the affected vessel
  4. May break, detach and become an embolus.
68
Q

lesion in which excess blood may be drawn into an area, usually at the arterial site of the circulation

A

hyperemia

69
Q

a long term condition wherein heart can’t pump blood well enough to give your
body enough blood supply; as a result, blood and fluids collect in the lungs and leak over time

A

congestive heart failure

70
