Exam #1 Blood Flashcards
AP2 (40 cards)
Polycythemia
Abnormal red blood count number
thick blood and increases viscosity
Leukemia
Abnormal amount of white blood cells produced new white blood cells not functioning correctly
Leukopenia
Abnormally low white blood cells
Leukocytosis
White blood cell count over 11,000 normal response to infection
Opsonization
Coat pathogens using complement or antibodies to let macrophages more easily kill pathogens
Hemostasis
Stoppage of bleeding
1. vascular spasm
2. platelet plug
3. coagulation
Hemocytoblast
Stem cell for all blood cells
Interfron
Proteins that stop replication of a virus
Erythroblastosis fetalis
Fetal= baby rh+ and the mother is rh-
no rhogam shot
1st encounter for mother with rh+ blood nothing happens to the baby
the mother starts building antibodies against the rh factor
2nd pregnancy mothers antibodies will attack fetus which is why the rhogam shot is needed
Plasmin
Breaks up blood clot in healthy BV
Thrombin
Clotting factor activate fibrinogen fibrin mesh
Average hematocrit percentage of a female
37% to 48%
Average hematocrit percentage of a male
45% to 52%
Differences between each of the leukocytes
There are two types of leukocytes granulocytes and agranulocytes
Granulocytes have granules in their cytoplasm while agranulocytes do not
Lifecycle of RBC
Life span: 120 days
Hemoglobin to globin to amino acids to recycled
Hem to iron to ferritin or hemosiderin to bilirubin to small intestine to bowel movements
hemosiderin to blood
everything else will be consumed by macrophages
Jaundice
Yellowing of connective tissue
Hemophilia
Deficient clotting factors which is genetic
Sickle cell
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disorder that affects the body’s red blood cells it’s caused by a mutation in the beta-globin chain of the hemoglobin molecule. (c shaped)
Hemolytic
Red blood cells are going to burst
thalassemia and sickle cells
Hemorrhagic
Severe blood loss
Pernicious
Deficiency of B12
Correct order of hemostasis
- Vascular spasm
- Platelet plug formation
- Coagulation
- Clot retraction
- Fibrinolysis
D. 3,5,1,4,2
What role do kidneys play in RBC production
The kidneys play a role in red blood cell (RBC) production by producing the hormone erythropoietin (EPO) EPO stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body
Know the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways
What initiates them
What their goal is
Which one is faster
What each pathway uses
What initiates them: The intrinsic pathway is triggered by internal damage to the vessel wall while the extrinsic pathway is triggered by external trauma
What their goal is: The intrinsic and extrinsic pathways are two separate pathways that interact to form the clotting cascade
Which one is faster: The extrinsic pathway is faster
What each pathway uses: The intrinsic pathway is activated by factors in the blood while the extrinsic pathway is activated by tissue factor
