disorders of blood
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Occurs if there are too many red blood cells in the bloodstream | erythrocytosis or polycythemia |
| Type of polycythemia in which the hematocytoblasts make too many blood cells causing a very high hematocrit | primary or polycythemia vera |
| Type of polycythemia in which there is an increase in erythropoietin production | secondary |
| Causes of secondary polycythemia | blocked blood vessels (especially in liver and kidneys) lung disease, high altitudes |
| Occurs in there are too few red blood cells | anemia |
| Type of anemia in which too many red blood cells are destroyed | Hemolytic |
| Type of anemia in which the bone marrow doesn’t make enough red blood cells | Aplastic |
| Type of anemia caused by too little hemoglobin in the red blood cells | iron deficiency |
| Type of anemia caused by irregular shaped hemoglobin | sickle cell |
| When do the symptoms of sickle cell anemia appear | when the cell is low on O2 (during excersise) |
| When do sickle cell anemia cells look normal | when cells contain abundant oxygen |
| What shape do sickle cell anemia cells turn to when low on O2 | rod |
| What does the shape of sickle cell anemia cells cause to happen | blockage of capillaries |
| What is life span of a sickle cell anemia cell | 10-20 days |
| What is the life span of a healthy red blood cell | 120 days |
| What is the life span a platelet | 10 days |
| What is the life span of granulocytes | 12 hours |
| What disease does having 1 gene of sickle cell anemia help prevent | malaria |
| What is removing blood then separating and storing the red blood to be used to pump back into the body before an athletic event called | blood doping |
| Side effect of blood doping | increase in blood viscosity |
| Low number of white blood cells | leucopenia |
| High number of white blood cells | leukocytosis |
| Usually a sign of infection | leukocytosis |
| Condition in which too many white blood cells are produced and are released into the bloodstream before they are mature (cant perform their action) thus opening the body up for infection | leukemia |
| Type of white blood cell that would increase due to a parasitic infection | eosinophil |
| Type of white blood cell that causes inflammation | basophil |
| What does a basophil release to cause an inflammation | histamine |
| Undesirable blood clot in a healthy blood vessel | thrombus |
| Blood clot that is traveling in bloodsteam | embolus |
| Common place for an embolism | lungs |
| Too few platelets in the bloodstream | thrombocytopenia |
| Genetic condition resulting in lack of or low production of clotting factors | hemophila |
| Too many platelets in the bloodsteam | thrombocytosis |
| Most common type of hemophilia | A |
| Bleeding disorder which causes platelets not to clump together | Von Willebrand disease |
| Bleeding disorder which slows down the production of fibrin | hemophila |
| Another name for red blood cell | erythrocyte |
| Another name for white blood cell | leukocyte |
| Another name for platelets | thrombocyte |
| Normal red blood cell count | 4 - 6 million per mm3 |
| Normal white blood cell count | 4000 - 11000 per mm3 |
| Normal platelet count | 150000-500,000 per mm3 |
| Condition someone has if their platelet count is 1 million | thrombocytosis |
| Condition someone has if their platelet count is 25,000 | thrombocytopenia |
| Condition someone has if their red blood cell count is 8 million | erthrocytosis |
| Condition someone has if their red blood cell count is 2.5 million | anemia |
| Condition someone has if their white blood cell count is 2000 | leukopenia |
