| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Blood consists of formed elements. The chief function is to? | 1. deliver substances needed for cellular metabolism in the tissues. 2. defend against injury and invading micro-organisms 3. acid base balance |
| 3 categories of plasma proteins | albumins, globulins and clotting factors |
| albumins | regulate passage of water and solutes through capillaries and venules |
| immune globulins | antibodies |
| clotting factors | promote coagulation - fibrogen is most plentiful of clotting factors |
| RBC's | erythrocytes - responsible for tissue oxygenation cannot undergo mitotic division so dies in 120 days |
| shape of RBC's | flattened, bioconcavity and reverse deformability |
| WBC's | leukocytes - body's defense either granulocytes or agranulocytes |
| granulocytes | phagocytes neutrophils baseophils eosinophils |
| agranulocytes | phagocytes or immunocytes phagocytes - monocytes and macrophages immunocytes - lymphocytes |
| platelets | disk-shaped cytoplasmic fragments (not cells) made from megakaryocytes essential for blood coagulation |
| thrombocytopenia | low platelet count less than 100,000 |
| thrombocytosis | increased platelet count more than 600,000 |
| Hct | 38-46% in females 40-54% in males % of blood occupied by RBC's |
| Hgb | 14-16 g/dl oxygen carrier to body |
| RBC count | 4.00-6.00 (million) |
| MCV | 80-96 fl volume (size) of average RBC |
| MCH | 27-32 pg amount of Hgb in average RBC |
| MCHC | 32-36 concentration of Hgb in average RBC |
| neutrophils | pinkish cytoplasm, segmented nucleus, fight bacterial infections, phagocytes |
| eosinophils | large red granules, target antigen-antibody complexes, increased in allergies and parasites |
| basophils | large dark blue, participate in inflammatory response, release histamine and heparin |
| monocytes/macrophages | very powerful phagocytes, macrophages have different names depending on their location |
| lymphocytes | contained mostly in the lymph, T & B cells, fight viral infections and cancers, major role in adaptive immune response |
| primary lymphatic organs | thymus and bone marrow |
| secondary lymphatic organs | spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, peyer patches of small intestines |
| hematopoiesis | formation of blood -cells are formed in bone marrow from pluripotent stem cells -mature in bone marrow or lymphatic tissue -mitotic division into common myeloid cells or common lymphoid cells -become eosinophils, monoblasts, plasma cell, NK cell, et |
| colony stimulating factors | cytokines that act as hormones to stimulate proliferation of progenitor (early) cells -necessary for growth of myeloid, erythroid, lymphoid and megakaryotic cells |
| CSF produces which cells | T-lymphocytes B-lymphocytes eosinophil granulocytes neutrophilic granulocytes monocyte and macrophage megakaryote and platelets erythrocytes |
| sequence of events in hemostasis | 1. vascular spasm 2. platelet plug formation 3. activation of coagulation cascade |
| intrinsic pathway | (collagen and other substances) activated by thromboplastin |
| extrinsic pathway | (injury) activated by contact with the injured vessel |
| stages of coagulation | 1. extrinsic and intrinsic activation 2. common pathway beings with formation of prothrombinase 3. prothrombin activates prothrombin to thrombin 4. thrombin induces formation of fibrin from fibrinogen |
| fibrinolysis | after 30-60 minutes platelets contract and clot has to be removed TPA "clot buster" removes clots |
| bone marrow biopsy diagnosis | anemia, leukemias, platelet disorders, immunoglobin disorders |
| WBC's diagnosis | bacterial appendicitis, mono, CLL |
| PT/INR diagnosis | measures extrinsic pathway |
| APTT diagnosis | measures intrinsic pathway |
| bleeding time diagnosis | measures platelet function |
| reticulocyte count | measures rate of erythropoiesis |
| anemia | reduction in total number of erythrythrocytes in circulating blood or a decrease in the quality or quantity of Hgb |
| anemia is classified by | impaired erythrocyte function blood loss (acute or chronic) increased erythrocyte destruction or a combination of one or more |
| microcytic-normochromic | pale small cells iron deficiency |
| macrocytic-normochromic | large cells folic acid deficiency vitamin b12 deficency (pernicious) |
| normocytic-normochromic | RBC's are normal size but caused by hemorrhage or hemolysis anemia of chronic disease aplastic anemia hemolytic hemorrhagic |
| iron-deficiency | pale earlobes, palms and conjunctivae, spoon shaped nails, sore tongue |
| pernicious | digestive symptoms, neurological symptoms, peripheral neuropathy |
| folic acid | digestive symptoms, peripheral neuropathy |
| sideroblastic | dysfunctional uptake of iron heptosplenomegly hemochromatosis |
| aplastic | petechia, bleeding, infection, pancytopenia |
| hemorrhagic | shock, acidosis |
| hemolytic | enlarged spleen, jaundice |
| polycythemia | excessively large RBC's |
| polycythemia s/s | red face, hands, feet, ears, and mucous membranes, high bp, engorgement of veins, heptasplenomegaly |
| neutrophilia | cause: infection, inflammation and band neutrophils are released into blood |
| neutropenia | cause: prolonged severe infection, reduced survival |
| eosinophilia | cause:allergic reaction or parasitic invasion |
| monocytosis | cause: blood has poor correlation with disease |
| lymphocytosis | acute viral infections, malignancies |
| lymphocytopenia | immune deficiencies |
| mononucleosis | acute infection cause by EBV. Test for presence of heterophilic antibodies |
| ALL | children immature cells/"blasts" acute sudden onset of symptoms B and T cells lymphoblasts |
| AML | adults immature cells/"blasts" myeloblasts poor survival rate |
| CML | adults well differentiated cells don't form properly gradual onset Philadelphia chromosome (T9:22) |
| CLL | adults well differentiated cells don't form properly elderly B cells |
| myleoma | involvement of bone marrow/cancer of bone marrow destruction of bones- osteoclastic activity abnormal immunoglobin protein - M protein Bence jones protein skeletal pain renal failure recurrent bacterial infections weakness fatigue weight loss |
| Hodgkins Lymphoma | Reed Sternberg cells in lymph nodes targets b cells 25-35 and under 50 night sweats, itching usually localized |
| Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma | No Reed Sternberg cells multiple organ/node involvement proliferation or lymph nodes onset usually after 50 |
| fibrinolysis | after 30-60 minutes platelets contract and clot has to be removed TPA "clot buster" removes clots |

| 2 major causes of hemolytic diseases in newborn | ABO incompatibility RH incompatibility |
