Pathology exam 2 Flashcards
What is a non pathogenic fluid that is protein poor?
Transudates: ultrafiltrate of blood just water and electro lights
What results from disturbance of hydrostatic/osmotic pressure changes of blood?
Pathogenses of edema
Starlings hypothesis: direction and rate of movement of fluids between blood and tissue spaces influenced by hydrostatic and osmotic pressures
What could alter starlings forces
Increase in hydrostatic pressure of venues and capillary beds
Increase in vascular permeability
Decrease in osmotic pressure
What is associated with active hyperaemia?
Increased arterial blood flow
Local redness
Increased warmth
Hyperaemia due to increased arterial flow and impaired venous drainage
Exercise, blushing, temperature regulation, acute inflammation
Heart failure cells are?
Hemosiderin containing alveolar macrophages Passive hyperaemia (congestion)
What is another term for a bruise?
Ecchymosis
Largest form of haemorrhaging that can change colour as blood pigments degrade
What is bleeding into cavities called?
Hemoperitoneum, hemothorase, hemopericardium
Causes include trauma, erosive infections, tumours, infants, aneurisms and coagulation insufficiency
What is bleeding into the joint space called?
Hemarthrosis
What is a common cause for vascular obstruction
Thrombi and emboli
What is arterial thrombosis commonly caused by
Caused by atherosclerosis
What is the common cause of pulmonary emboli?
Deep vein thrombosis
What is part of the virchous triad?
Endothelial injury/ dysfunction
Alterations in blood flow
Hypercoagulation
What characteristizes antemortem arterial (white) thrombi?
Lines of Shan
What does propagation mean?
Thrombi enlarge and elongate usually in direction of blood flow
Common complications of circulating disease in hospital patients?
Pulmonary emboli
Blockage of bifurcation at pulmonary trunk
Commonly caused by DVT
What emboli is common in divers?
Gas: rapid decompression of nitrogen gas bubbles form in th e blood giving rise to pulmonary obstruction and tissue
Excessive blood loss is a characteristic of what shock?
Hypovoemic shock: specifically hemorrhage
What does anaphylactic shock respond to?
Histamine
Which of the following kinds of shock has the poorest prognosis?
Cardiogenic shock
Cardiogenic shock is the most fatal
What are some common benign Tumours
