Q

what are the 4 possible blood groups

A

A, B, AB, O

19
Q

what is Landsteiner’s rule

A

individuals will form immune antibodies to ABO blood group antigens they do not possess.

20
Q

what are the two types in the Rh blood group
what does this determine

A

Rh positive have the antigens present on the red blood cell surface

Rh negative do not

determines whether the blood type is positive or negative.

21
Q

what blood type is a universal donor

A

type o

22
Q

what blood type is universal recipient and can receive any blood type?

A

type AB

23
Q

what does hemostasis mean

A

prevention of blood loss

24
Q

what are the 4 steps in hemostasis?

A
  1. vessel injury
  2. vascular spasm
  3. platelet plug formation
  4. coagulation
25
Q

what are platelets derived from?

A

megakaryocytes.

26
Q

what is the lifespan of platelets

A

about 10 days .

27
Q

during blood clotting what is converted into what?

A

prothrombin is converted into thrombin

fibrinogen is converted into fibrin.

28
Q

what is the implication of thromboembolic disorder

A

undesirable clot formation (thrombus)

29
Q

what might prevent the formation of normal blood clots

A

bleeding disorder

30
Q

what is a thrombus

A

a blood clot that persists in an unbroken blood vessel

may cause an obstruction leading to tissue death

31
Q

what is an embolus

A

a thrombus (blood clot) that is freely flowing in the circulatory system

32
Q

what can prevent thromboembolic disorders

A

anti coagulants

aspirin, heparin, warfarin

33
Q

what type of disorder is thrombocytopenia

A

thrombocytopenia is a BLEEDING DISORDER

34
Q

what are some implications of thrombocytopenia

A

too few platelets

causes spontaneous bleeding

35
Q

how is thrombocytopenia treated

A

treated with a transfusion of concentrated platelets.

36
Q

what is one symptom of hemophilia

A

prolonged bleeding

37
Q

what is the role of the right side of the heart. (right atrium and right ventricle)

A

Right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from body; delivers blood to right ventricle, which pumps blood to lungs

38
Q

what is the role of the left side of the heart (left atrium and left ventricle)

A

Left atrium receives oxygenated blood from
lungs; delivers blood to left ventricle, which
pumps blood to rest of the body

39
Q

what are the two types of valves in the heart

A
  1. Atrioventricular
  2. Semilunar
40
Q

what are the two different atrioventricular valves called? and what side are they on?

A

bicuspid (left side)
tricuspid (right side)

41
Q

what are the two different semilunar valves called and what side are they on?

A

aortic (left side)
pulmonary (right side)

42
Q

what components are part of the blood vessels (artery and vein)

A

tunica externa
tunica media
tunica intima
lumen

43
Q

what components make up the structure of the capillary

A

endothelial cells and lumen.

44
Q

what is atherosclerosis

A

LDL cholesterol forms plaques in arteries triggering inflammation.
