AP 2-Exam 1 Flashcards
hepatic macrophages
Kupffer cells
SaO2
arterial oxygen saturation
T cells
the type of lymphocyte that attacks foreign cells and cells infected by viruses
memory B
remain in the lymphoid tissues and initiate a secondary response so that pathogens are destroyed before signs and symptoms of the disease appear
normal range of albumin in blood
3.2 - 5 g/dl
HDL
high density lipoprotein-good cholesterol
the normal HCO3 in blood
22-26 mEq/L
monophyletic
the theory proposes that one stem cells serves as the precursor cell for all the formed elements
erythema
a red flushing of the skin that is caused by the dilation of skin capillaries containing oxygenated hemoglobin
has purple-blue granules
basophil
type 3 pneumocytes
histiocytes
inconspicuous granules
neutrophils contain these granules in the cytoplasm
cells that attack foreign cells and virus infected cells and act as a natural defense against cancer, responsbile for immunological surveillance
Natural killer cells
neutrophils diameter
10-14 microns
a chemical mediator in basophils that decreases platelet counts
heparin
these cells are found to be decreased in number in patients suffering from lupus
supressor T
these cells are the largest white blood cells
monocytes
antibody mediated immunity is provided by
memory B cells
cell mediated immunity is provided by
killer T cells
Hbs
sickle cell hemoglobin
induced erythrocythemia
blood doping
characterized by an increased number of granulocytes
myelogenous leukemia
normal level of glycosylated hemoglobin
4-6%
characterized by abnormally small cells that contain low levels of hemoglobin
microcytic anemia
Warfarin
coumadin
LMWH
low molecular weight heparins/Lovenox
this class of drugs is effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels and interrupt the formation of cholesterol from the circulating blood
statins
TPA
tissue plasmiogen activator
agglutination
platelet clumping
1st stage of the blood clotting process
Aspririn inhibits clumping
a normal platelet count
125k-250k
agranulocytes
lymphocytes
monocytes
leukocytes that provide a very small source of serotonin
basophil
found in lung
alveolar macrophaes
leukocytes that have a horseshoe shaped nucelus
monocytes
amount of basophil to granulocytes
.5%
immature erythrocytes that are anucleate but restore volume
reticulocytes
venous blood color
dark purple-red
erythrocyte thickness
7.5 microns
normal range of triglycerides
45-155 mg/dl
immunoglobulins found in plasma
IgG
IgE
IgA
IgM
PTT
partial thromboplastin times
% plasma in blood
55%
globulin % to plasma protein
36%
malignant hyperthermia can be induced by
halothane
low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
bad cholesterol
normal level of alkaline phosphates in adults between the ages of 25-60
33-131 IU/L
a mast cell when intravascular
basophil
carbon monoxide combines with hemoglobin
250x faster than oxygen
this leukocyte has red staining granules
esosinophil
