He shed His blood...
PN- Cardio/Blood
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Transports oxygen and nutrition to cells and waste products away from cells and hormones from endocrine glans to tissues and cells; regulates acid base balance and body temperature; protects the body against infection | Blood |
| RBCs; major function is to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide; continuously produced in red bone marrow | Erythrocyte |
| Process of RBC production | Erythropoiesis |
| Common lab test that measures the packed cell volumeof RBCs | Hematocrit |
| WBCs; Have nuclei, colorless and live from a few days to several years; involved in destruction of bacteria and viruses | Leukocytes |
| Examination in which the different kinds of WBCs are counted and reported as percentages of the total examined | differential WBC count |
| Granular circulating leukocytes essential for phagocytosis; primary phagocytic cells involved in acute inflammatory response | Neutrophils |
| Presence of excess bands in the peripheral blood; indicates infection | Shift to the left |
| Play a role in allergic responses | Eosinophils |
| Essential to nonspecific immune response to inflammation , releases histamine | Basophils |
| Circulate in the bloodstream and move into tissue, where they engulf foreign antigens and cell debris; increased in recovery of bacterial infections | Monocytes |
| Responsible for antibody formation; increased in infectious mononucleosis, measles, certain viruses | Lymphocytes |
| Rapidity of blood clotting; 11-12.5 seconds | Prothrombin time (PT) |
| Fibrin clot formation; 60-70 seconds | Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) |
| Body process that arrests the flow of blood and prevents hemorrhage | Hemostasis |
| Universal donor; RBCs contain no A or B antigens and plasma contains both A and B antibodies | Type O |
| Universal Recipient; RBCs have A, B antigens and no A, B antibodies | Type AB |
| Stores 1 pint of blood, that is released during emergencies in less than 60 seconds | Spleen |
| Lack of intrinsic factor which is essential to vitamin B12 absorption | Pernicious Anemia |
| Shows malabsorption of vitamin b12 | Schilling test |
| Failure of the normal process of cell generation and development, congenital or acquired; fatigue and malaise reported | Aplastic Anemia |
| RBCs contain decreased levels of hemoglobin; common cause is excessive iron loss | Iron Deficiency Anemia |
| Abnormal, crescent-shaped RBC is the most common genetic disorder in U.S.; Hydrourea therapy used to dcrease sickled cells | Sickle Cell Anemis |
| Pruritus is the striking symptom related to histamine release by basophils; treatment is repeated phlebotomy to decrease blood viscosity | Polycythemia (Erythrocytosis) |
| WBC count extremely low | Leukopenia |
| A malignant disorder with an excess amount of leukocytes (immature WBCs) accumulates in bone marrow and lymph nodes | Leukemia |
| The number of platelets is than 150,000/mm3; petechiae and ecchymoses found on skin | Thrombocytopenia |
| A hereditary coagulation disorder characterized by a disturbance of the clotting factors | Hemophilia |
| Resulting from the overstimulation of clotting and anticlotting processes | Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) |
| A malignant disorder characterized by painless, progressive enlargement of lymphoid tissue; Reed-Sternberg cells | Hodgkin's Disease |
| Any cardiac rhythm that deviates from normal sinus rhythm | Dysrhythmia |
| The ventricular musculature of heart is quivering; a medical emergency characterized by rapid and disorganized ventricle pulsation; use of Defibrillation as medical management | Ventricular fibrillation |
| Spasmodic, cramp-like, choking feeling in thoracic cavity; Aspirin, Nitroglycerin and rest to treat | Angina Pectoris |
| Surgical intervention of CAD that uses saphenous vein or internal mammary artery | CABG |
| An occlusion of a major coronary artery or one of its branches with subsequent necrosis of myocardium caused by atherosclerosis or an embolus | Myocardial Infarction |
| Lab values increased during MI | SGOT, AST, CPK, LDH, Troponin I |
| Used to relieve pain and decreases myocardial oxygen demands, reduces contractility, and slows the heart rate of MI | Morphine |
| Dyspnea, orthopnea, pulmonary crackles, hemoptysis, frothy, blood-tinged sputum, cough | Left Ventricular Failure |
| Edema in feet, ankles, and sacrum that move up to thighs, external genitalia and lower trunk; ascites, distended jugular veins, liver enlargement | Right Ventricular Failure |
| Inflammation of the membranous sac surrounding the heart | Pericarditis |
| Infection or inflammation of inner membranous lining of the heart; influenza-like symptoms and petechiae in conjunctiva, oral mucosa, neck, anterior chest, abdomen | Endocarditis |
| Enlarged, dilated portion of a blood vessle; widening of blood vessel | Aneurysm |
| Small and medium-sized arteries become inflamed and thrombolitic causing pain in arch of foot; men affected more; smoking cessation encouraged | Buerger's Disease |
| Intermittent arterial spasms and attaks of ischemia of the body (fingers, toes, ears, nose); affects women more than men | Raynaud's Disease |
| Effective for the prevention of venous thrombosis, as well as prevention of extension or recurrence | Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin |
| develops in deep veins and superficial veins; inflammation of a vein in conjunction with the formation of a thrombus | Thrombophlebitis |
