CPC-HemicLymphatic
CPC Study - Hemic and Lymphatic System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the lymphatic system comprised of? | lymph nodes, vessels, organs |
| What is lymph? | colorless fluid containing lymphocytes and monocytes |
| What does lymph do? | transports interstitial fluids and proteins that have leaked from blood system into venous system, absorbs and transports fats from villi of small intestine to venous system, assists in immune function |
| Name the lymph organs: | lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, thymus, tonsils, Peyer's patches |
| What is a Peyer's patch? | lymphoid tissue on mucosa of small intestine |
| Where is the spleen located? | LUQ of abdomen |
| What does the spleen do? | stores and filters blood; activates lymphocytes and B cells to filter antigens |
| Where are stem cells produced? | bone marrow |
| Axillary nodes | lymph nodes located in armpit |
| Cloquet's node | (gland) highest of deep groin lymph nodes |
| Inguinofemoral | referring to groin and thigh |
| Lymph node | station along lymphatic system |
| Lymphadenectomy | excision of lymph node(s) |
| Lymphadenitis | inflammation of a lymph node |
| Lymphangiography | radiographic recording of lymphatic vessels and nodes |
| Lymphangiotomy | incision into a lymphatic vessel |
| Lymphangitis | inflammation of lymphatic vessel(s) |
| This produces a hormone to mobilize calcium from bones to blood: | parathyroid |
| Splenoportography | radiographic procedure to allow visualization of splenic and portal veins of spleen |
| Thoracic duct | largest lymph vessel which collects lymph from portions of body below diaphragm and from left side of body above diaphragm |
| Anemia | reduction in number of erythrocytes or decrease in quality of hemoglobin |
| Aplastic Anemia | anemia characterized by bone marrow failure with reduced numbers of red and white cells and platelets |
| Iron Deficiency Anemia | anemia characterized by small erythrocytes and a reduced amount of hemoglobin - caused by low iron stores |
| Pernicious Anemia | megaloblastic anemia (large stem cells) - inability to absorb vitamin B12, due to lack of intrinsic factor (found in gastric juices) |
| Hemolytic Anemia | anemia characterized by shortened survival of mature erythrocytes - excessive destruction of RBC |
| Sickle Cell Anemia | abnormal sickle-shaped erythrocytes caused by an abnormal type of hemoglobin |
| This type of anemia occurs primarily in those of West African descent: | Sickle cell anemia |
| Granulocytosis | increase in granulocytes (netrophils, eosinophils, basophils) |
| Eosinophilia | increase in number of eosinophilic granulocytes |
| Basophilia | increase in basophilic granulocytes seen in leukemia |
| Monocytosis | increased number of monocytes |
| Leukocytosis | increased number of leukocytes |
| Leukocytopenia | decreased number of leukocytes |
| Infectious mononucleosis | Acute infection of B Cells |
| Most common cause of infectious mononucleosis: | Epstein-Barr virus |
| How is mono transmitted? | saliva |
| Leukemia | malignant disorder of blood and blood-forming organs - abnormal increase in white blood cells |
| Acute Myelogenous Leukemia | Rapid onset leukemia characterized by sharply increased production of immature granulocytes - short survival time |
| Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia | increased production of immature lymphocytes (lymphoblasts) in bone marrow - occurs in children |
| Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia | slowly increasing production of mature and immature granulocytes in bone marrow and blood |
| Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia | increased numbers of mature lymphocytes in marrow, lymph nodes, spleen - slow progressing, most common in elderly |
| Lymphadenopathy | any abnormality of lymph node |
| Hodgkin's Disease | malignant lymphoma originating in white blood cells, spreads throughout the lymphatic system, characterized by Giant Reed-Sternberg cells present in lymphatic tissue |
| Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma | cancer of the lymphatic system involving multiple nodes with the presence of large lymphocytes but not Reed-Sternberg cells |
| Burkitt's Lymphoma | type of non-Hodgkins's lymphoma characterized by lesions in jaw and face, usually found in Africa and New Guinea |
| Multiple Myeloma | B-Cell's destroy bone tissue - increased plasma cells replace bone marrow |
| Another name for multiple myeloma: | plasma cell myeloma |
| Lymph node located on the neck: | jugular |
| Disease characterized by an increase of plasma cells replacing bone marrow: | multiple myeloma |
| A vitamin B injection may be used to treat this type of anemia: | pernicious |
