Question
Answer
Anemia   too few RBC's  
🗑
Polycythemia   too many RBC's  
🗑
Leukopenia   too few WBC's  
🗑
Leukocytosis   too many WBC's  
🗑
Thrombocytopenia   too few platelets  
🗑
Thrombocythemia   too many platelets  
🗑
carry oxygen & nutrients, transport hormones, remove wastes, deliver cells to prevent infection, stop bleeding, promote healing   hematopoetic functions  
🗑
Lymphadenopathy   enlargement of lymph nodes  
🗑
Splenomegaly   enlargement of spleen  
🗑
increased platelet formation, increased clotting activity   hypercoagulability  
🗑
immature WBC's taking over   "shift to the left"  
🗑
see these cells in "shift to the left"   polymorphonuclear leukocyte (segmented neutrophils)  
🗑
composed of fibrin and blood cells   blood clot  
🗑
blocks flow to distal tissues   blood clot  
🗑
a blood clot that breaks away from vessel wall   embolus  
🗑
autoimmune disease in which blood does not clot as it should (platelets are destroyed in spleen)   Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITTP)  
🗑
promote coagulation & stops bleeding from damaged blood vessels   clotting factors  
🗑
vitamin K deficiency, reduction in clotting factors due to liver disease   impaired clotting  
🗑
syndrome of uncontrolled bleeding resulting from systemic multiple clots (due to depletion of clotting factors)   Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)  
🗑
organ that filters blood and removes unwanted material   spleen  
🗑
X-linked recessive disorder where no factor VIII is generated, leading to excessive bleeding   Hemophilia A  
🗑
disorder that decreases platelet stickiness   Von Willebrand Disease  
🗑
manifestations of DIC   hemorrhage from every opening, abdominal distention, hematuria (blood in urine)  
🗑
diagnosis and treatment of DIC   accelarated clotting, decreased platelet count, removal of primary event, heparin if organ failure from hypoxemia, plasma with factor VIII  
🗑
clinical manifestations of anemia   increased HR and RR, dizziness, fatigue, skin pallor, nausea, decreased hair and skin quality  
🗑
anemia due to loss of blood   hemorrhagic anemia  
🗑
whole blood is used for this type of anemia   hemorrhagic anemia  
🗑
type of anemia caused by excessive destruction of RBC's (bone marrow unable to compensate)   hemolytic anemia  
🗑
type of anemia caused by hemoglobin "S"   sickle cell anemia  
🗑
sickling happens in respone to...   hypoxia (lack of oxygen)  
🗑
type of anemia caused by dysfunction of bone marrow to replace dying cells; consequently all blood cell types are affected   aplastic anemia  
🗑
type of anemia caused by lack of intrinsic factor, a substance needed to absorb vit B-12 from stomach (vit B-12 is need for RBC production)   pernicious anemia  
🗑

🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
