🗑
Blood types (type O)   Type O -> its RBC's contain neither type A nor type B antigens & its plasma contains both anti-A and anti-B antibodies  
🗑
Bradycardia   slow heart rhythem-> less than 60 beats per minute  
🗑
Calcium   if normal amount of blood calcium is present, prothrombin activator triggers the next step of clotting by converting prothrombin to thrombin  
🗑
Cardiac tamponade   compressions of the heart caused by fluid buildup in the pericardial spacem as in pericarditis or mechanical damage to the pericardium  
🗑
CHF   Congestive Heart Failure -> left side heart failure  
🗑
Diastole   relaxation of the heart  
🗑
Dysrhythmia   any abnormality of cardiac rhythem  
🗑
Embolus   a blood clot or other substance that is moving in the blood and may block a blood vessel. Find in cordinary artries results in mycoardical infraction  
🗑
Eosinphil (Granular WBC)   defense against parasites & worms/ white blood cell that is readily stained by eosin  
🗑
Erythroblastosi   Rh antibodies reacting with Rh-positive RBC's characterized by massive agglutenation of the blood and resulting in life-threatening cirulatory problems  
🗑
Fibrillation   condition in which individual muscle fibers or small groups of fibers contract asynchronously with other muscle fibers in an organ, producing no effective movement  
🗑
Fibrin   insolubule protein in clotted blood  
🗑
Granulocyte   presence of granules. They are Neutrophils, Eosinophils, and Basophils.  
🗑
Heart valve disorders   Incomplete Valves Rheumatic Heart Disease Mitral Valve Prolapse/MVP Stenosed Valves  
🗑
Hermatocrit   volume percent of red blood cells in whole blood  
🗑
Hemoglobin in RBC carries..   oxygen -> the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and the body's cells and it's role in maintenance of acid-bas balance are among the most vital  
🗑
Hemolytic anemia   any of group of blood disorders characterized by deficient or abnormal hemoglobin that causes deformation and fragility of red blood cells  
🗑
Hemorrhagic anemia   group of conditions characterized by low oxygen-carrying capacity of blood; caused by decreased red blood cell (RBC) life span and/or increased rate of RBC destruction  
🗑
Heparin   (PREVENTS CLOTS/ BLOOD THINNER) naturally occuring substance that inhabits formation of a blood clot, used as a drug to inhibit clotting  
🗑
Lymphocyte   one type of white blood cell  
🗑
Mitral valve   heart valve located between the left atrium, causing incompetence of the valve (only 2 cusp)  
🗑
Monocyte   (IN TISSUE) largest type of white blood cell, a type of agranular leukocyte; often involved in phagocytosis of abnormal cells or particles  
🗑
Macrophages   (IN BLOOD) phagocytic cell in immune system  
🗑
Myocardical infarction   heart attack -> (tissue dies, part of the muscle dies) death of cardiac muscle cells resulting from inadequate blood supply as in coronary thrombosis  
🗑
Neutrophil (Grandular WBC)   immune defense (take them in their own bodies and digest them in the process of phagocytosis)  
🗑
Nutrients requirred to manufacture hemoglobin   Iron (Fe)-> essential (gives hemoglobin its oxygen-carrying ability) Vitamin B12 and Folate -> manufactures the amount of hemoglobin to maintain survial  
🗑
P-Wave   occurs with depolatization of the atria  
🗑
Pericarditis   condition in which the pericardium becomes inflamed  
🗑
Pericardium   membrain that surrounds the heart  
🗑
Pernicious anemia   (Deficiency type) results from a dietart deficiency of vitamin B12 or form the failure of stomach lining to produce "instrinsic factor" - the substance allows vitamin B12 to be absorbed
