Blood System & Diseases
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| sickle cell anemia | inherited, predominantly in African ancestory, causing crescent shaped cells, abnormal hemoglobin |
| Thalassemia | Cooley's anemia, inherited defect in the ability to produce hemoglobin |
| anemia | deficiency of erythrocytes or hemoglobin, hampering gas exchange in blood |
| Cooley's anemia | Thalassemia, inherited |
| aplastic anemia | failure to produce new blood cells in bone marrow due to benzene, meds, or idiopathic factors |
| pernicious anemia | large nonfunctioning immature blood cells due to lack of gastric juice not allowing for absorption of vitamin B12 |
| hemolytic anemia | reduction in red blood cells, or fragile abnormally shaped that are easily destroyed |
| hemochromatosis | build ups of iron in the body, causing skin to be bronze, causes cardiac failure |
| erythremia | overproduction of red blood cells, upsetting normal composition and hampering circulation |
| mononucleosis | caused by Epstein-Barr virus-increased and irregular lymphocytes & lymphadenitis, rest required |
| hemophilia | hereditary, excessive bleeding caused by lack of clotting factor (viii) |
| purpura | Antibodies produced that destroy platelets, or low platelet count due to other conditions. Hampers coagulation, and causes hemorrhages in skin or mucous membranes. |
| leukemia | disease of bone marrow, abnormal production of leukocytes, treated with chemo or transplants |
| granulocytosis | increases in granulocytes due to infection, allergies, or some forms of leukemia |
| multiple myeloma | malignant tumors of plasma cells in bone marrow produce antibodies that break down marrow and bone |
| agglutination | adverse reaction caused by blood transfusion between incompatible types |
| antibodies | produced by lymphocytes, contained in the protein called globulin, and are complex protein chains, destroy antigens |
| megaloblasts | large immature erythrocytes |
| hemocytoblasts | stem cells |
| albumin | maintains body's proper concentration of water |
| globulin | contains antibodies against antigens-there are alpha, beta, and gamma |
| fibrinogen | protein that aids in clotting |
| prothrombin | protein that aids in clotting |
| eosinophils | increase in number during allergic reactions, stains red, granulocyte |
| basophils | contain heparin and histamine, stain blue-purple, granulocyte |
| neutrophils | most numerous leukocyte, polymorphonuclear, gather at infection sites to ingest bacteria |
| Thromboycte | platelet |
| Rh | antigens are (positive) or are not (negative) present on the surface of erythrocytes |
