2.5 Phys 2 Blood Flashcards
heart attack is called?
infarction
*symptoms: chest pain, nausea, vomiting, sweating, weakness, short breath
infarction detection?
- changes in EKG (larger Q than normal, mean axis goes away bc dead area is electrically silent)
- creatine phosphokinase in blood (and other proteins)
atherosclerosis caused by?
damage or insult to vascular endothelium,
hemoretic stroke if capillaries break
*caused by: chronic stress, hyptension, diabetes, fat, smoking
*treat: reduce risk factors
Use of excerise as treatment for atherosclerosis
1) decrese resting HR and BP
2) increase vasodilation of heart vessels
3) minimize severity of hypertension and diabetes
4) decrease total plasma cholesterol
5) increase plasma HDL levels
6) decrease clot formation
7) increase ability to dissolve clots
What is fibrinogen? binds to? inactive form of?
important clottingprotein!
inactive form of fibrin
Binds to platelets
anemia
iron defecency (hemoglobin loses ability to carry RBCs)
sickle cell anemia
irregular shape makes them get caught in vessels, needs both copies to get disease, don’t carry iron
polycythemia
increase in the number of RBCs
5 WBCs and what they do
1) Eosinophils- reduce inflammation
2) Basophiles- release histamine and increase inflammatory response
3) Neutrophils- small phagocytic cells
4) Monocytes- macrophages
5) Lymphocytes- immunity
serum = ____ - _____
plasma - fibrinogen
highest protein and highest ion
protein= albumin ion= Na
three mechanisms to prevent blood loss?
1) vasoconstriction
2) platelet plug formation
3) clot formation
what is thromboxane A2? released by?
local control -vasoconstrictor
sticky
released by platelets
damaged vessels expose? What sticks to them?
collagen in the basement membrane
**platlelets stick to collagen and become activated
activated platelets release? What do they do?
- APD and thromboxane= sticky
- serotonin= vasoconstirct
- vWF= form bridges between collagen and platelets
