Circulatory Disorders
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| congestion, a condition which refers to excess blood in a body part | hyperemia |
| excess blood in a body part which was actively taken there by the arterial system in the body | active hyperemia |
| if active hyperemia results from a normal, everyday, healthy bodily function it is known as | active physiological hyperemia |
| if the active hyperemia is the result of some disease process it is known as | active pathological hyperemia |
| occurs when venous drainage from an area is decreased. this is always pathological and may be expressed as localized or general | passive hyperemia |
| hyperemia often caused by: formation of a blood clot in a vein, thickening of vessel walls, or pressure from an outside lesion | localized passive hyperemia |
| hyperemia which is normally the result of a heart disorder which affects the efficiency of the heart's pumping action-hypostatic congestion | generalized passive hyperemia |
| generalized passive hyperemia occurring in the systemic system, resulting in diminished flow of blood through the pulmonary system-blue discoloration "blue babies" | cyanosis |
| refers to the formation of a solid mass (blood clot) within the heart or vessels of the body | thrombosis |
| the solid blood clot mass itself | thrombus |
| refers to the condition of an object having floated through the bloodstream and causing an obstruction of a vessel | embolism |
| refers to decreased blood flow to a body part, and thus decreased oxygen and nutrients | ischemia |
| a result of ischemia, the area of tissue that was deprived of its blood supply dies | infarction |
| a thrombus which is partially blocking the artery, leads to ischemia | parietal thrombus |
| a thrombus which completely blocks the blood flow at the clot itself | obstructive thrombus |
| the escape of blood from the vascular system system, sometimes due to a break in the walls of the vessel | hemorrhage |
| another name for ischemic necrosis | dry gangrene |
| pin-point hemorrhages | petechiae |
| larger irregular patches of hemorrhage in the tissues | ecchymosis |
| widespread areas of hemorrhage into the skin or mucous membranes | purpura |
| tumor-like swelling filled with blood, common blood blister, for example | hematoma |
| very dark, tarry feces or vomit | melena |
| bleeding into the pleural cavity | hemothorax |
| bleeding into the pericardial cavity | hemapericardium |
| bleeding into the peritoneal cavity | hemoperitoneum |
| blood in the sputum (or from the lungs) | hemoptysis |
| blood in the vomit (or from the stomach) | hematemesis |
| bleeding from the nose | epistaxis |
| the process of blood changing from a liquid, free-flowing form into a semisolid state | coagulation |
| a term used to describe the condition which results from a serious reduction of blood flow in the body, resulting in reduced oxygen supply to the tissues | circulatory shock |
| a mild form of shock due to temporary decrease of blood flow to the brain, fainting | syncope |
| shock originating in the nervous system | neurogenic shock |
| shock originating in the cardiovascular system, the heart isn't pumping enouch | cardiogenic shock |
| shock caused by major blood loss in a short amount of time | hypovolemic shock |
| shock caused by bacterial infection of the red blood cells | septic shock |
| refers to an excess accumulation of fluid in the tissues of the body, an extravascular condition | edema |
| when edema retains the impression of a fingerprint impressed upon it, it is referred to as | pitting edema |
| the name given to generalized/widespread edema | anasarca |
| edema which collects around an inflammation site | exudate |
| edema of the pleural cavity | hydrothorax |
| edema of the pericardial sac that surrounds the heart | hydropericardium |
| edema of the peritoneal cavity (abdominal cavity) | ascites |
| also known as desiccation, defined as a decrease in total body fluids | dehydration |
| edema of the scrotum | hydrocele |
| a potentially life threatening accumulation of fluid in the lungs, the fluid may inhibit the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide | pulmonary edema |
| presence of blood in the urine | hematuria |
| massive bleeding from anywhere in the body | exsanguination |
