Q

Lung sounds

A

-pleural rub: Scratchy sound produced by pleural surfaces rubbing against each

Q

differentiate anemia

A

aplastic anemia - Failure of blood cell production in the bone marrow

hemolytic anemia - Reduction in red cells due to excessive destruction

pernicious anemia - Lack of mature erythrocytes caused by inability to absorb vitamin B12
into the bloodstream

sickle cell anemia

thalassemia - Inherited defect in ability to produce hemoglobin, leading to hypochromia

24
Q

immature blood cells

A

erythroblast

25
Polycythemia vs hemochromatosis
General increase in red blood cells (erythremia) Excess iron deposits throughout the body
26
Hemophilia
Excessive bleeding caused by hereditary lack of blood clotting factors (factor VIII or IX) necessary for blood clotting.
27
Coagulation time vs erythrocyte sedimentation rate
Time required for venous blood to clot in a test tube Speed at which erythrocytes settle out of plasma
28
Hematocrit vs sed rate
Percentage of erythrocytes in a volume of blood erythrocyte sedimentation rate
29
Edema vs petechiae
(swelling) results when too much fluid from blood “leaks” out into tissues tiny purple or red flat spots appearing on the skin as a result of hemorrhages
30
Immunoglobulins
IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, IgM antibodies that bind to and sometimes destroy antigens (foreign substances)
31
relapse vs remission
when disease symptoms and signs reappear disappearance of signs and symptoms of disease
32
interstitial fluid
fluid that surrounds body cells passes continuously into specialized thin-walled vessels called lymph capillaries, which are found coursing through tissue spaces
33
Areas of lymph nodes
``` axillary nodes cervical nodes inguinal nodes mediastinal nodes mesenteric nodes paraaortic nodes ```
34
T-cells - What, where produced
present in nodes, T lymphocytes T cells originate in the thymus gland T cells recognize and remember specific antigens and produce stronger attacks each time the antigen is encountered.
35
Tonsils vs adenoids
masses of lymph tissue in the throat near the back of the mouth (oropharynx) enlarged lymph tissue in the part of the throat near the nasal passages (nasopharynx)
36
bone marrow
B cells, lymphocytes and monocytes Platelets, actually blood cell fragments, are formed in bone marrow from giant cells with multilobed nuclei called megakaryocytes
37
Lymphocytosis
ncrease in the number or proportion of lymphocytes in the blood
38
HIV
Virus (retrovirus) that causes AIDS.
39
Hodgkin Disease
Malignant tumor of lymphoid tissue in the spleen and lymph nodes. This disease is characterized by lymphadenopathy (lymph nodes enlarge), splenomegaly, fever, weakness, and loss of weight and appetite
40
Herpes simplex
Viral infection causes small blisters on the skin of the lips or nose or on the genitals. Herpes simplex virus also can cause encephalitis
41
skin cancer seen in AIDS
``` Kaposi sarcoma (a cancer arising from the lining cells of capillaries that produces dark purplish skin nodules) ```
42
Opportunistic lung disease seen in AIDS
histoplasmosis (Histo) Mycobacterium avium Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) tuberculosis (TB)
43
Cancellous bone
(spongy or trabecular bone), much more porous and less dense than compact bone
44
shoulder bone
scapula
45
bones of face
``` lacrimal - corners of eyes mandibular - lower jaw maxillary - upper jaw nasal - bride and septum vomer - nasal septum zygomatic - cheek ```
46
bones of cranium
Ethmoid - Supports nasal cavity and eye sockets Frontal - Forehead; part of eye sockets Occipital - Back and base of skull Parietal - Top and sides of skull Sphenoid - Base of skull and behind eyes (bat-shaped bone) Temporal - Lower sides and back of skull
47
Diaphysis vs epiphysis
shaft, or middle region, of a long bone Each end of a long bone
48
Subluxation of a vertebra
forward slipping (subluxation) of a vertebra over a lower vertebra.
49
Osteomyelitis vs. osteoporosis
Inflammation of the bone and bone marrow secondary to infection Decrease in bone density (mass); thinning and weakening of bone.
50
Fractures
Simple fracture (closed) Compound fracture (open) Comminuted - Bone is splintered and crushed into several pieces Greenstick - Bone is partially broken; breaks on one surface and bends on another; often occurring in forearm
51
Kyphosis vs anklosis
hump on the back, person’s height is reduced, may lead to pressure on the spinal cord or peripheral nerves condition of joint stiffening or immobilization
52
Rheumatoid arthritis vs osteoarthritis
Chronic joint condition with inflammation and pain; caused by an autoimmune reaction against joint tissue, particularly the synovial membrane. Progressive, degenerative joint disease with loss of articular cartilage and hypertrophy of bone (formation of osteophytes, or bone spurs) at articular surfaces.
53
Leiomyosarcoma vs leiomyoma
malignant tumor of smooth (visceral) muscle benign tumor of smooth muscle
54
Supination vs pronation
hand and forearm, the act of turning the palm up. As applied to the foot, it is outward roll of the foot during normal motion hand and forearm, the act of turning the palm down. As applied to the foot, it is inward roll of the foot during normal motion
55
Skeletal vs visceral
voluntary muscle involuntary muscle
