Acute lymphocytic leukemia Primarily in children between 3 and 7, highly curable in children but less in adults, onset in sudden.
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) 20% of all cases of leukemia, most often in adults 25-60, onset is slow; curative in over 70% of cases.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) Accounts for 80% of all cases of acute leukemia in adults and 20% in children, sudden onset and rapid progression.
Infectious Mononucleosis Noncancerous WBC disorder; highest between 15 and 25; Virus is in saliva.
Fibrin Threads form a tangle to trap RBC's to produce a blood clot.
Vitamin K Helps reduce risk of hemorrhage
Coumadin Delays clotting by inhibiting prothrombin synthesis.
Heparin Helps prevent clots from forming
Thrombus Clot that stays in the place that it was formed.
Emobolism A clot that dislodges and gets into the bloodstream.
Hemophilia A Most serious bleeding disease worldwide; X-linked inherited disorder results from inability to produce Factor VIII (a plasma protein) responsible for blood clotting.
Thrombocytopenia Caused by reduced platelet counts
Heart Chambers Two upper called atria and two lower called ventricles
Atria Receiving chambers
Ventricles Discharging chambers
Myocardium Cardiac muscle tissue that is on the walls of each chamber of the heart.
Endocardium Smooth lining of heart chambers.
Endocarditis Inflammation of the endocardium.
Systole Contractions of the heart.
Diastole Relaxation of the heart.
Name of valves that keep blood flowing through the heart, prevent backflow. Atrioventricular and Semilunar Valves
Name the four valves Tricuspid, Bicuspid, Pulmonary semilunar and Aortic Semilunar
Tricuspid At the opening of the right atrium into the ventricle
Bicuspid At the opening of the left atrium into the ventricle
Pulmonary semilunar At the beginning of the pulmonary artery.
Aortic Semilunar At the beginning of the aorta
Stenosed valves Narrower than normal, reducing blood flow.
Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) Incompetence of mitral valve because its edges extend into the left atrium when the left ventricle contracts.
Two distinct sounds in every heartbeat or cycle Lubb-dupp
Coronary Circulation Blood, which supplies oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium of the heart, flows through the right and left coronary arteries.
Stroke Volume The volume of blood ejected from one ventricle with each beat.
Cardiac Output Amount of blood that one ventricle can pump each minute.
Bradycardia Slow heart rate (under 60 bpm)
Tachycardia Rapid heart rate (over 100 bpm)
Sinus dysrhythmia Variation in heart rate during breathing cycle.
Premature Contraction (extrasystole) Contraction that occurs sooner than expected in a normal rhythm.
Fibrillation Condition in which cardiac muscle fibers are "out of step", producing no effective pumping action.
What can cause myocardial infarction? Blockage of blood flow through the coronary arteries.
Left sided heart failure Congestive heart failure
Arteries Carry blood away from the heart.
Veins Carry blood toward the heart.
Capillaries Carry blood from the arterioles to the venules.
Tunica Intima-arteries inner layer of endothelial cells.
Tunica media-arteries smooth muscle, thick in arteries; important in blood pressure regulation.
Tunica Externa-arteries thin outer layer of elastic tissue.
Tunica intima-veins inner layer, valves prevent retrograde movement of blood.
Tunica media- veins smooth muscle, thin

Hypovolemic Shock Caused by a drop in blood volume that causes blood pressure and blood flow to drop.
Neurogenic Shock Caused by nerve condition that dilates blood vessels and thus reduces blood flow.

Active Natural Acquiring immunity to a subsequent infection.
Passive Natural A fetus receives protection from placenta or infant from mothers milk.
Active Artificial Vaccination
Passive Artificial Injection of antibodies that was developed by another individual's immune system.
Antibodies Protein compounds with specific combining sites.
Combining Sites Attach antibodies to antigen forming an antigen-antibody complex called humoral or antibody-mediated immunity.
Antigen-Antibody Neutralizes toxins, clump or agglutinate enemy cells, promotes phagocytosis.
