| AORTA, ARTERIES, ARTERIOLES, CAPILLARIES, VENULES, VEINS, SUPERIOR AND INFERIOR VENA CAVAE | blood vessels |
| THE BLOOD VESSELS (EXCEPT FOR THE CAPILLARIES) ARE COMPOSED OF THESE 3 LAYERS | tunica adventitia, tunica media, tunica intima |
| CARRIES OXYGENATED BLOOD FROM THE HEART TO THE VARIOUS PARTS OF THE BODY | systematic circulation |
| THE OUTER CONNECTIVE TISSUE LAYER OF THE BLOOD VESSEL | tunica adventitia |
| THE MIDDLE SMOOTH MUSCLE LAYER OF THE BLOOD VESSEL | tunica media |
| THE INNER LAYER OF THE BLOOD VESSEL IS | tunica intima |
| CARRIES OXYGENATED BLOOD FROM THE HEART TO THE VARIOUS PARTS OF THE BODY | the aorta, arteries & arterioles |
| THE VENULES, VEINS AND THE SUPERIOR/INFERIOR VENA CAVAE | carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart |
| THE CAPILLARIES ARE COMPOSED OF | endothlial cells |
| CAPILLARY BLOOD IS A MIXTURE | arterial & venous blood |
| THE AVERAGE ADULT HAS ____________ LITERS OF BLOOD | 5-6 |
| THE LIQUID PORTION OF BLOOD IS CALLED | plasma |
| THE CELLULAR PORTION OF BLOOD IS CALLED | formed elements |
| CONTAINS PROTEINS , AMINO ACIDS, GASES, ELECTROLYTES, SUGARS, HORMONES, MINERALS, VITAMINS AND WATER (92%) | plasma |
| THE THIN WALLS OF THE CAPILLARIES ALLOW RAPID EXCHANGE OF | oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients and waste products between the blood & tissue cells |
| PLASMA COMPROMISES WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE CIRCULATING BLOOD | 55% |
| THE FORMED ELEMENTS OF BLOOD COMPRIMISE WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE CIRCULATING BLOOD | 45% |
| THE FORMED ELEMENTS OF BLOOD CONTAIN | erthyocytes (99%), leukolytes, and thromocytes |
| THE ERUTHROCYTES CONTAIN AN OXYGEN CARRYING PROTEIN CALLED | hemoglobin |
| AN IMMATURE ERYTHOCYTE IS CALLED A | reticulocyte |
| RETICULOCYTES MATURE INTO ERYTHOCYTES IN HOW LONG | 1-2days |
| HOW MANY RBC'S ARE CONTAINED PER MICROLITER OF BLOOD | 4.2-6.2 million |
| THE NORMAL LIFE SPAN OF RBC IS | 120 days |
| WHICH TYPE OF CELL PROVIDES THE BODY PROTECTION AGAINST INFECTION? | WBC |
| THE NORMAL AMOUNT OF WBC'S FOR AN ADULT | 5,000-10,000 |
| AN INCREASE OF WBC AS SEEN IN CASES OF INFECTION & LEUKEMIA IS CALLED | leukolytes |
| A DECREASE IN WBC'S AS SEEN WITH VIRAL INFECTION OR CHEMOTHERAPY | leukopenia |
| HOW MANY TYPES OF WBC'S ARE IN THE BLOOD | 5 types |
| WHAT WBc IS THE MOST NUMEROUS & COMPROMISES 40%-60% OF WBC POPOULATION? | neutrophils |
| WHAT WBC IS PHAOCYTIC & INCREASES IN BACTERIAL INFECTION AND IS OFTEN THE FIRST ON THE SCENE | Neutrophils |

| winding crooked veins are called | tortuous veins |
| Do not draw blood from what kind of site | IV fluids |
| Do not draw blood from what kind of site | artificial a-v fistula site |
| The most common complication of phlebotomy procedure, indicating that blood has accumulated in the tissue surrounding the vein is | hematoma |
| This increase in proportion of formed elements to plasma caused by the tourniquet being left on more than two minutes | hemoconcentration |
| This common complication of phlebotomy procedure is caused by the needle going through the vein and/or failure to apply enough pressure on the site after withdrawl | hematoma |
| Inflammation of a vein as a result of repeated venipuncture on the vein | phlebitis |
| Tiny non raised red spots that appear on the skin from rupturing of the capillaries due to the tourniquet being left on or too tight | petechiae |
| A blood clot due to insufficient pressure applied after the withdrawl of a needle | thrombus |
| Inflammation of a vein with formation of a clot | thrombophlebitis |
