Anatomy Blood Test

Hemoglobin

Main protein in RBC

Red Blood Cells

Transports oxygen and carbon dioxide

Platelets / Thrombocytes

Cell fragments; function as part of the blood clotting mechanism

Embolous

Floating intravascular clot

Anemid

Any decrease in oxygen-carrying ability of the blood

clotting

Coagulation

Agglutination

Adverse reaction of donor blood cells with recipient plasma

water

Constitutes 90% of plasma volume

Whole Blood

Plasma plus formed elements

Plasma

Liquid portion of blood

Thrombus

A clot that develops in an unbroken blood vessel

Erythropoietin

A hormone stimulating erythropoiesis

Anti Coagulant

Interferes with blood clotting ability

1%

Together, leukocytes and platelets comprise approximately _____ percent of
total blood volume.

O

Which type of blood is called the universal donor.

It lacks antigens on the surface of RBC

Why is O the universal donor

AB

Which type of blood is the universal recepient

AB RBC has both antigens

Why is AB the universal recepient

Blood vessel spasm, platelet plug, blood coagulation

Three phases of hemostasis

Iron deficiency, Spherocytosis, Sickle Cell

Three types of anemia

True

T/F - Most of the body’s iron supply is in hemoglobin

False

T/F-Hemoglobin is found within red and white blood cells.

True

T/F - Clumping of RBC can occur when mismatched blood is transfused.

True

T/F-Leukemia refers to cancerous conditions of white blood cells.

True

T/F-Transfusion of type O blood rarely triggers a transfusion reaction.

True

T/F-The immediate response to blood vessel injury is vascular spasm.

True

T/F-Diapedesis is the process by which white blood cells move into tissue spaces from the interior of blood capillaries.

True

T/F-Eosinophils increase in number when parasitic invasion occurs.

True

T/F-All lymphocytes are leukocytes, but not all leukocytes are lymphocytes.

Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, and Basocytes

5 Types of WBC

Defend aginst bacterial infection

Neutrophils

Responsible for immune response

Lymphocytes

Provide viral defense for the body

Monocytes

respond to parasitic infection

Eosinophils

control inflammatory reactions (allergies and asthma)

Basophils

Decrease in WBC

Leukopenia

increase in WBC

Leukocytosis

bluish color in skin bc of poor oxygen in blood

Cyanosis

RH+ antibodies in mother’s blood attacks fetal blood if fetus is RH-

Erythroblastosis Fetalis

reduced oxygen carrying ability in blood

Anemia

body does not make enough RBC due to lack of Vit. B12 and/or inability to absorb Vit. B12

Pernicious Anemia

Decrease in RBC due to too little iron

Iron Deficiency Anemia

causes body to absorb too much iron from food due to increased ferritin

Hemochromatosis

steps to limit/prevent blood loss

Hemostasis

Blood vessels constrict to reduce blood flow

Blood Vessel Spasm

platelets adhere to eachother at the end of a broken vessel forming a plug

Platelet plug formation

uses fibrin to create a meshwork that traps blood cells which blocks the break and prevents further blood loss

blood coagulation

blood test that provides information about formed elements

Complete Blood count

measure of 5 types of WBC

Differential WBC Count

Bone marrow

Where are blood cells formed

stem cells

What are blood vessels formed from

Agglutination

antibodies attaching to the antigens of RBC

Hemophilia is lack of a clotting factor while other anemia cause too much clotting

How does hemophilia differ from other anemias

Clotting

What type of disease is TTP

anemia

What type of disease is SCA

anemia

What type of disease is Hereitary Spherocytosis

clotting

What type of disease is APS

Clotting

What type of disease is DVT

Clotting

What type of disease is Von Willebrand Disease

cancer

What type of disease is CML

Cancer

What type of disease is Diffuse Large B-Cell Lympoma

Fatigue

What are general symptoms of Anemia

Kidney Failure

What is a symptom of TTP

strokes

What is a symptom of APS

bruising easily

What is a symptom of DVT

Bruising

What is a symptom of Von Willebrand Disease

Strokes

What is a symptom of CML

Swollen Lymph nodes

What is a symptom of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
