As blood volume goes up, so does _______________. | arteriole pressure |
Where is ADH produced? | posterior pituitary |
What does vasoconstriction do? | Narrows blood vessels. |
DTC (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation) | widespread clotting occurs in intact bld. vssls & residual bld becomes unable to clot. Blockage of bld flow followed by severe bleeding. Commonly seen as pregnancy complication, as result of septicimia, or incompatible bld transfusion. |
HDN (Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn) | Occurs when a mom who needed RhoGAM treatment didn't get it & later became pregnant with an Rh+ baby. Moms antibodies cross thru placenta & destroy babies RBC. Baby can become anemic, hypoxic, brain damage, or death unless transfusions are done b4 birth. |
RhoGAM injection | Injection of anti-Rh antibodies given soon after every delivery, miscarriage, & abortion. Binds & inactivates fetal Rh antigens so moms immune system doesnt respond. |
Another name for Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn is____________ _______ | Erythroblastocis Fetalis |
Hemochromatosis | Inherited disorder of iron overload b/c intestines absorb too much iron from diet. Iron builds up in tissues where it oxidizes to form compounds that poison those organs (espc. joints, liver, & pancreas). |
Thrombocytopenia | # of circulating platelets is deficient. Causes spontaneous bleeding from sml bld vssls all over body. Even normal mvmnts lead to widespread hemorrhage.See sml purplish spots on skin called Petechiae. |
Causes of Thrombocytopenia | Can arise from any condition that supresses or destroys red bone marrow. Platelet count of under 50,000 /ul of bld is usually diagnostic. Transfusions of concentrated platelets give temp relief from bleeding. |
Varicose Veins | Veins that have become tortuous & dialated b/c of incompetent (leaky) valves. Usually in lower limbs |
Contributing factors for Varicose Veins | Heredity, conditions that hinder venous return such as prolonged standing in 1 position, obesity, pregnancy, elevated venous pressure (straining to deliver baby or bowl movement) |
What are varicosities that result from raised intra-abdominal pressure that prevented bld from draining from the veins of the anal canal called? | Hemorrhoids |
Aneurysm | Balloon like out-pocketing of an artery wall; puts artery at risk for rupture; often reflects gradual weakening of the artery by chronic hypertension or arteriosclerosis. Common sites are abdominal aorta & arteries feeding brain & kidneys. |
Thrombophlebitis | Condition of undesirable intravascular clotting initiated by a roughening of a venous lining. Often follows severe episode of phlebitis. Dangerous b/c clot may detach & form an embolus. |
Hypertension | High BP; may be transient or persistant. Transient occurs as normal adaptations during fever, physical exertion, & emotional upset. Persistent is common in obese ppl for a variety of reasons that arent completely understood. |
Cor Pulmonale | Right sided heart failure resulting from elevated BP in the pulmonary circuit (pulmonary hypertension). Acute cases may dev suddenly due to a pulmonary embolism. Chronic ones usually assoc. w/chronic lung disorders such as emphysema. |
Pericarditis | Inflamm. of pericardium, roughens serous mmbrns surfaces.Deep pain to sternum. Beating <3 rubs agnst peric sac & makes a creaking sound what u can hear w/stethoscope. May lead to adhesions (visceral & parietal pericardia stick 2gether & impede <3 activity |
Myocardial Infarction | <3 attack; Can be caused by prolonged coronary blockage. B/C adult cardiac mscl is basically amiotic, most areas of cell death r repaired w/noncontractile scar tissue. Survival depends on extent & location of dmage. LV(systemic pump) dmage is most serious |
