Test #1
| Heparin | prevents coagulation |
|---|---|
| Emboulus | floating clots |
| Thrombolysis or Thrombolytic | break up or destruction of clots |
| Thrombocytopenia | deficiency of platelets |
| Thrombocytosis | an abnormal condition of excessive platelets |
| A bleeding time | test to determine a persons ability to coagulate |
| INR | test to determine a persons ability to coagulate |
| Coagulation panel (profile) consists of.. | -INR - prothrombin (pt) - platelet count -bleeding time |
| DIC | disseminated intravascular coagulopathy |
| DIC causes the coagulation process to | collapse, followed by hypovolemic shock (exsanguination) & death |
| Plasma is made up of.. | water, plasma proteins, salts, gases, nutrients, nitgrogenous waste, hormone, minerals / vitamins |
| Albumin | A plasma protein neccessary for fluid blanance |
| 2 plasma proteins thay play a vital role in coagulation are.. | Fibrinogen & Prothrombin ( pt ) |
| Plasmapheresis | separation of the plasma from blood cell |
| FFP | Fresh Frozen Plasma |
| Cryoprecipitates refers to.. | FFP w/ clotting factors |
| Bone Marrow biopsy (Bx) | test commonly used to determine cancers of the blood |
| Myelogenic | pertaining to created by the bone marrow |
| Dycrasia | any bllod abnormality |
| Morphology | the study of shapes |
| Hemostasis | stoppage or controlling of bleeding |
| ESR " sed rate" | erythrocyte sedimentation rate |
| Elevated ESR indicates.. | inflammation |
| A differential "diff" is an.. | individual count of the different types of leukocytes |
| Type & Crossmatch (screen) (T&CM) | determining blood type & compatibility w/ other blood types |
| PRBC's | packed red blood cells |
| Lipid panel | 1) Total Cholesterol 2)HDL (high density lipoproteins)"good cholesterol" 3) Triglycerides 4)LDL (low density lipoproteins) |
| Total Cholesterol should be.. Triglycerides should be.. | < 200 |
| HDL ( high density lipoproteins) should be.. | >60 |
| LDL ( low density lipoproteins) should be.. | <100 |
| Transport enzymes to body cells in order to.. | regulate chemical processes & reactions |
| Dissipates excess body heat through | dialated blood vessels in the skin |
| Transports leukocytes & antibodies to defend against | pathogens |
| Erythrocytes live approximately | 120 days |
| Anticoagulant | against coagulations |
| Plasma is | liquid portion of the blood |
| Blood is neccessary to: | transport nutiruents & H2O from digestive tract to all cells of body |
| Nutrients included from digestive tract | vitamins & minerals are used for chemical processes & reactions |
| Carbohydrates | used for energy |
| Proteins used for | growth & repair |
| Fats are used for | vitamin absorption & cell wall creation |
| Transport waste products from teh body's cells to. | the lungs, sweat glands, & kidneys for excretion |
| Transport hormones from endocrine glands to.. | target cells & organs in the body |
| transport enzymes to body cells in order to | regulate chemical processes and reactions |
| Dissipates excess body heat through | dilated blood vessels |
| transport leukocytes & antibodies to defend the body against.. | pathogens |
| helps regulate body pH by | transporting buffers & amino acids |
| Normal blood pH | 7.35-7.45 |
| Blood pH below 7.35 is concidered.. | acidotic ( acidosis ) |
| Blood pH above 7.45 is concidered.. | Alkalitic ( alkaline, alkalosis or "basic: ) |
| Whole blood (WB) is made up of.. | 1. Erythrocytes (RBC) 2. Leukocytes (WBC) 3. Thrombocytes ( clot cells or platelets) |
| Erythrocytes (RBC) are responsible for.. | Respiration ( biconcave discs hold H2O) |
| Erythrocytes do not have.. | a nucleus or ability to duplicate |
| Erythropoieses | Formation of Erythrocytes occurs in Red bone marrow AKA myeloid tissue |
| Hemolysis | Break up or destruction of RBCs |
| Bilirubin | dead, broken up Erythrocytes |
| Hyperbilirubinemia can be caused by.. | liver, gallbladder, or pancreatic dysfunction |
| Hemoglobin | protien inside RBCs neccessary for RBC to carry O2 & CO2 |
| Normal Hemoglobin range is | 12 - 17 g/dl |
| Element neccessary for healthy hemoglobin | Iron ( FE ) |
| Hematocrit "crit" | measure of the packed cell volume (PCV) |
| Hyperbilirubinemia | blood consition of excessive bilirubin -causes jaundice or icterus |
| PCV (packed cell volume) | % of blood attributed to erythrocytes |
| H & H | Hemoglobin (HgB) & Hematocrit (Hct or "crit) |
| Anemia | Erythrocytopenia &/or defiiency of hemoglobin |
| Leukocytes are part of your | immune response against foreign proteins |
| Erythropoietin | hormone produced by the kidneys |
| A normal leukocyte count is.. | 5,000 - 11,000 |
| Leukocytosis | elevated leukoctye count |
