68C Medterm Ph.1 T.5
Medical Terminology Test 5 Blood, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ABO Blood Groups | a system of grouping blood based on the presence or absence of two antigens |
| Albumin | small plasma proteins synthesized in the liver that are the primary components of osmotic pressure in the bloodstream |
| Agglutination | the clumping of red blood cells surface following a transfusion reaction |
| Antibodies | soluble, globular proteins that directly attack antigens, activate complement, or stimulate changes that prevent the spread of pathogens |
| Antigens | a chemical compound attached to a cell surface which, if not recognized by the lymphatic system, elicits an immune response |
| Coagulation | an effective hemostatic mechanism that causes blood clots through the use of clotting factors |
| Colloid Osmotic Pressure | the pressure resulting from water moving toward an area of a higher concentration of a solute |
| Embolus | a dislodged blood clot that is moving through the blood vessels |
| Erythrocytes | biconcave disks, also known as red blood cells, used to transport gases |
| Erythropoietin | a hormone that is secreted by the kidney and liver to control rate of erythrocyte production |
| Fibrin | insoluble threads of protein that form a meshwork at sites of injury that entrap blood cells and platelets forming blood clots |
| Fibrinogen | a large protein synthesized in the liver that functions in blood coagulation |
| Globulin | three types of proteins synthesized in the liver and lymphatic tissue and are important in the transport of lipids and fat-solube vitamins and immunity |
| Hematocrit | the percentage of formed elements in a volume of whole blood 1. erythrocytes 2. leukocytes 3. platelets |
| Hemoglobin | oxygen carrying portion of the erythrocyte |
| Hemostasis | the processes responsible for stopping blood loss when a blood vessel is damaged |
| Leukocytes | five types of cells, also known as white blood cells, that protect against disease 1.neutrophils 2.eosinophils 3.basophils 4.monocytes 5.lymphocytes |
| Lipoprotein | proteins that combine with lipids to allow transport of lipds through the bloodstream |
| Plasma | clear, straw-colored liquid portion of whole blood which contains a complex mixture of chemicals water, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, hormones, electrolytes, waste |
| Rh Blood Group | a system of grouping blood based on the presence of the Rh antigen |
| Thrombocytes | cell fragments, as known as platelets that close breaks in damaged blood vessels and initiate the formation of blood clots |
| Thrombopoietin | a hormone responsible for the initiation of the formation of thrombocytes |
| Thrombus | a blood clot that abnormally forms in a blood vessel |
| Whole blood | the combination of all fluid and components in the blood |
| Carbaminohemoglobin | hemoglobin rich in CO2 |
| Oxyhemoglobin | hemoglobin rich in O2 |
| Deoxyhemoglobin | hemoglobin that is O2 depleted |
| Venipuncture | the transcutaneous puncture of inserting a hollow-bore needle into the lumen of a vein to obtain a specimen of blood, start an IV infusion, or administer medication |
| Antecubital Fossa | hollow or depressed area anterior to the bend of the elbow |
| Anticoagulant | substance that prevents or delays clotting of the blood |
| Lymph | specialized fluid formed in the tissue spaces that returns excess fluid and protein molecules to the blood |
| Lymphatic Capillaries | microscopic, closed-ended tubes that extend into the interstital spaces and the lining of the small intestine which carry excess fluid and digested fats to the bloodstream |
| Lymphatic Pathways | a network of vessels that transport a vast collection of cells and biochemicals |
| Lymph Nodes | an organ consisting of a capsule of connective tissue divided into compartments that contact dense masses of lymphocytes and macrophages through which lymph circulates and are located along the lymphatic pathways |
| Spleen | a bi-lobed organ, largest of the lymphatic organs, filters bacteria and old blood cells from the circulatory system |
| Thymus | a bi-lobed organ composed of lymphatic tissue, encased in connective tissue, that releases thymosin which stimulates the maturation of T cells important in providing immunity. |
