Question
Answer
show Blood  
🗑
show The blood vessels  
🗑
What are the components of the blood?   show
🗑
show Carries antibodies and nutrients to tissues and carries waste away.  
🗑
This blood component has RBCs that carry oxygen to the tissues and removes carbon dioxide from them.   show
🗑
This blood component has WBCs that participate in the inflammatory and immune response.   show
🗑
show Thrombocytes  
🗑
show Plasma  
🗑
show Osmotic pressure, viscosity, suspension qualities. These all depend on protein content.  
🗑
Osmotic pressure   show
🗑
Viscosity   show
🗑
show Regulate acid-base balance, regulate immune response, carry nutrients to tissues, and help to mediate coagulation.  
🗑
Glucose, lipids, amino acids, electrolytes, pigments, hormones, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.   show
🗑
show Urea, uric acid, creatinine, lactic acid. They circulate in the plasma.  
🗑
Where are RBCs usually produced?   show
🗑
show Oxygen to body tissues and carbon dioxide away from them.  
🗑
show An oxygen-carrying substance that gives RBCs the ability to transport oxygen.  
🗑
show Tissue's demand for oxygen and the blood cells' ability to deliver it.  
🗑
show A lack of oxygen to the tissues.  
🗑
show The formation and release of erythropoietin (hormone that activate bone marrow to produce RBCS).  
🗑
show 80-90%  
🗑
show The liver  
🗑
show Androgens (any steroid hormone that increases male characteristics).  
🗑
What is the life span for a typical RBC?   show
🗑
show Erythrocyte.  
🗑
What does the development of RBCs require?   show
🗑
show A component of hemoglobin and vital to the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity.  
🗑
show In food and, once consumed, is absorbed in the duodenum and upper jejunum.  
🗑
show Poultry, eggs (egg yolk), dried beans, dried fruit, and salmon.  
🗑
show It may be transported to the bone marrow for hemoglobin synthesis or to tissues (muscle) for myoglobin synthesis.  
🗑
What is unused iron temporarily stored as?   show
🗑
Where is ferritin most commonly located?   show
🗑
show Platelets  
🗑
show Help constrict damaged blood vessels, form hemostatic plugs in injured blood vessels, and provide substances that accelerate blood clotting.  
🗑
How do platelets form hemostatic plugs?   show
🗑
show Factors III and XIII and platelet factor 3.  
🗑
show Platelets, plasma, and coagulation factors interact to control bleeding.  
🗑
show They constrict at the injury site and platelets mesh or clump to help prevent hemorrhage.  
🗑
show Dyscrasia.  
🗑
What is primary blood dyscrasia?   show
🗑
show It results from a cause other than a defect in the blood (side effect of medication).  
🗑
Name 2 RBC disorders.   show
🗑
What is anemia?   show
🗑
What is polycythemia?   show
🗑
show Neutropenia and Lymphocytopenia.  
🗑
What is neutropenia?   show
🗑
show Decreased number of lymphocytes in the blood.  
🗑
show Thrombocytopenia, Thrombocytosis, and Thromboctopathy.  
🗑
What is thrombocytopenia?   show
🗑
show Too many platelets.  
🗑
What is thromboctopathy?   show
🗑
show Iron-deficiency anemia.  
🗑
How much iron can the body store before iron-deficiency anemia may be diagnosed?   show
🗑
A common disease that affects 10-30% of the adult population, but particularly premenopausal women, infants (esp. premature and low birth rate infants), children, and adolescents.   show
🗑
show Inadequate iron in the diet to keep up with the increased growth.  
🗑
What are risk factors associated with iron-deficiency anemia?   show
🗑
When does iron-deficiency anemia occur?   show
🗑
What happens to the cells when iron-deficiency anemia occurs?   show
🗑
Name the signs and symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia.   show
🗑
What occurs if the iron-deficiency anemia is prolonged?   show
🗑
show Bone marrow aspiration.  
🗑
What happens after the iron stores are depleted?   show
🗑
show Small erythrocytes to be produced by the bone marrow, thus as anemia progresses, the MCV, which measures this size of the erythrocytes, also decreases.  
🗑
show Iron-deficiency anemia.  
🗑
show The transport protein supplying the marrow with iron. Also known as transferrin.  
🗑
What are the most reliable methods in evaluating iron-deficiency anemia?   show
🗑
show TIBC increased, serum iron levels decreased, low hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, small (microcytic) RBCs, hypochromic (less color than normal).  
🗑
Folic acid anemia.   show
🗑
show 20%  
🗑
show Less than 50mcg/day. Usually induces folic acid deficiency within 4 months, as the liver supplies are depleted.  
🗑
Where is folate found?   show
🗑
show People who rarely eat uncooked vegetables and alcoholics.  
🗑
show Because it is water-soluble and heat-liable, thus being destroyed in the cooking process.  
🗑
show Cell growth, particularly RBCs, leading to production of few, deformed RBCs. Megaloblastic cells (enlarged red cells) havea shortened life span; weeks.  
🗑
show Alcohol abuse, poor diet, pregnancy and breast feeding, and malignant or intestinal disease.  
🗑
Signs and symptoms of folic acid anemia.   show
🗑
show Decreased production of HCL in the stomach acid. Also recognized as a deficiency of intinstic factor.  
🗑
Intrinsic factor.   show
🗑
show Pernicious anemia.  
🗑
show Yes, because the disease involving the pancreas or ileum impairs absorption.  
🗑
show Prenicious anemia.  
🗑
What does vitamin B12 deficiency inhibit?   show
🗑
show Strict vegetarians who do not consume any meat or dairy products.  
🗑
Neurologic signs and symptoms of pernicious anemia.   show
🗑
show Nausea, vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, gingival bleeding and tongue inflammation.  
🗑
Cardiovascular signs and symptoms of pernicious anemia.   show
🗑
show Dyspnea, orthopnea.  
🗑
Sickle cell anemia/disease   show
🗑
What happens when cells are exposed to low oxygen levels?   show
🗑
show It takes time, so if the sickled cell is again exposed to adequate amounts of oxygen, before the membrane becomes too rigid, it can revert to a normal shape. Sickling crisis are intermittent.  
🗑
In what race is sickle cell anemia most prevelant?   show
🗑
show The carrier state of sickle cell.  
🗑
show 50%  
🗑
How many genes will a child birthed from 2 people with the trait have?   show
🗑
show Range from chronic hemolysis to thrombosis, erythrocytes have a shortened life span, anemia is always present and Hgb is 7-10g/dL, jaundice, bone marrow expansion, and chronic anemia (tachycardia, cardiac murmurs, and enlarged heart).  
🗑
show Any organ can be affected but primarily the sites with lower circulation: spleen, lungs, CNS  
🗑
show Infection, stroke, renal failure, impotence, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension.  
🗑
show Sickle cell crisis; very painful.  
🗑
show Aplastic crisis; hemoglobin falls rapidly and marrow can't compensate; absence of RBCs.  
🗑
show Sequestration crisis; most children by 10 years have a nonfunctioning spleen. The liver and lungs are affected in adults.  
🗑
