Question
Answer
the average human has __ of blood   5 quarts  
🗑
iron, B12, folic acid, & protein are all raw materials required for   blood synthesis within the marrow  
🗑
erythropoiesis is regulated by   erythropoietin  
🗑
etiologic classification of anemia might be   blood-loss related  
🗑
anemia caused by folic acid deficiency can be secondary to   a poor diet  
🗑
anemia caused by bone marrow damage is initially managed with   blood transfusion  
🗑
can be acquired through mechanical trauma secondary to an enlarged spleen or by insertion of an artificial heart valve   hemolytic anemia  
🗑
hemochromatosis can eventually lead to   organ damage  
🗑
patient's medical history & physical exam, complete blood count, reticulocyte count, & bone marrow study are used to   evaluate & diagnosis anemia  
🗑
is a complication of polycythemia   increased blood viscosity  
🗑
nodes of the lymph system serve as   filters  
🗑
enlarged, tender, and inflamed lymph nodes secondary to the spread of an infection into the lymphatic channels   lymphadenitis  
🗑
localized infection, systemic infection, lymphoma, & metastatic tumor can all be indicated by   swollen lymph nodes  
🗑
Individuals who have had a ___ develop problems with the immune system   splenectomy  
🗑
decrease in hemoglobin or red cells or both   anemia  
🗑
lymphocyte that differentiates into plasma cells and is associated with humoral immunity   B lymphocyte  
🗑
cell that contains numerous variable-sized granules that stain intensely purple with basic dyes. See also eosinophil   basophil  
🗑
cell whose cytoplasm is filled with large, uniform granules that stain intensely red with acid dyes   eosinophil  
🗑
virus that causes infectious mononucleosis   Epstein-Barr virus  
🗑
precursor cell in the bone marrow that gives rise to red blood cells   erythroblast  
🗑
humoral substance made by the kidneys that regulates hematopoiesis   erythropoietin  
🗑
type of hemoglobin containing two alpha and two gamma chains, which is able to take up and release oxygen at much lower PO2 than in adult hemoglobin   fetal hemoglobin  
🗑
oxygen partial pressures   PO2  
🗑
genetic disease characterized by excessive iron absorption, leading to accumulation of excessive amounts of iron in the body, causing organ damage   hemochromatosis  
🗑
oxygen transport protein within red cells composed of an iron-porphyrin complex combined with a protein chain   hemoglobin  
🗑
anticoagulant obtained from the liver   heparin  
🗑
Hodgkin disease is one type of   lymphoma  
🗑
abnormally small number of leukocytes in the peripheral blood   leukopenia  
🗑
mononuclear blood cell produced in lymphoid tissue that takes part in cell-mediated and humoral immunity   lymphocyte  
🗑
lymphoma is a neoplasm of   lymphoid cells  
🗑
abnormal red cell precursor resulting from vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency   megaloblast  
🗑
leukocyte having a kidney-shaped nucleus and light blue cytoplasm; a phagocytic cell that forms part of the reticuloendothelial system   monocyte  
🗑
leukocyte having a multilobed nucleus whose cytoplasm is filled with fine granules   neutrophil  
🗑
macrocytic anemia caused by inability to absorb vitamin B12 as a result of inadequate secretion of intrinsic factor by gastric mucosa   pernicious anemia  
🗑
small pinpoint hemorrhage caused by decreased platelets, abnormal platelet function, or capillary defect   petechia  
🗑
component of the blood; a roughly circular or oval disk concerned with blood coagulation   platelet  
🗑
increased number of red cells   polycythemia  
🗑
may be caused by some types of chronic heart or lung disease   secondary polycythemia  
🗑
may be due to marrow erythroid hyperplasia of unknown causes   primary polycythemia  
🗑
young red cell that can be identified by special staining procedures   reticulocyte  
🗑
type of lymphocyte associated with cellmediated immunity   T lymphocyte  
🗑
deficiency of platelets   thrombocytopenia  
🗑
