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
