Q

Exposure of ** of subendothelial cells of blood vessels starts the process of platelet activation

A

Pinpoint hemorrhages seen in scurvy rashes and decreased vitamin C in kids

A

Petechiae

22
Q

<2 cm hemorrhages seen in SLE, hemorrhagic vasculitis

A

Purpura

23
Q

> 2cm bruises “hicky”
Raccoon and Battle Sign
Cushing syndrome- overproduction is corticosteroids

A

Ecchymoses

24
Q

Hematoma

A

Leak blood into cavities

25
Q

What are the 4 bleeding disorders?

A

Petechiae
Purpura
Ecchymoses
Hematoma

26
Q

What are the 4 hemorrhagic disorders?

A

Thrombocytopenia
Vin Willebrand’s Disease
Hemophilia
Hemodynamics Disorders

27
Q

What is the blood count to be considered thrombocytopenia?

A

<100,000/mm^3

Normal platelet count: 250-300k

28
Q

Genetic autosomal hemorrhagic disease that may lead to hemorrhagic gastroduodenitis/Black stools?

A

Von Willebrand’s Disease

29
Q

Increased amount of blood loss during menstruation

A

Menorrhagia

30
Q

Manifestation from uterus cancer (not related to Von Willebrand’s Disease) that leads to a serious disorder resulting in blood loss between menstruation

A

Metorrhagia

31
Q

Hemorrhagic Disease where only the children may have disease and not the parents.
Von Willebrand Disease?
Hemophilia?

A

Hemophilia

32
Q

Gentle disorder with non-production of certain protein factors clotting factors.

A

Hemophilia, X chromosome linked

33
Q

Hemophilia A vs. Hemophilia B

A

A- non production of clotting factor VIII

B- Christmas Disease/ non production of clotting factor IX

34
Q

Hemoarthrosis is a common problem in what hemorrhagic disorder?

A

BOTH Hemophilia A & Hemophilia B

35
Q

Thrombosis arises from which hemorrhagic disorder that interrupts normal blood flow?

A

Hemodynamics Disorders

36
Q

Platelet activation and platelet aggregation without threat of blood loss or vascular damage; platelet plug without a blood clot

A

Thrombosis

37
Q

Blood clot vs. thrombus

A

Blood clot- formed inside and/or outside of a vessel

Thrombus- INSIDE blood vessel through Von Willebrand factor (platelet activation & platelet aggregation)

38
Q

Thrombus in the (arterial? OR venous?) system is dense, strong, firm, small (fast)

A

Thrombus in arterial system is dense strong, firm and small (fast)

39
Q

Thrombus in (arterial? Or venous?) system is loose weak, loose large (slow)

A

Thrombus in venous system is loose weak, large (slow)

40
Q

Lines of Zahn

A

Place layers composed of platelets mixed fibrin and dark layers of RBCs

41
Q

2 areas where thrombus with lines of Zahn can be formed

A

Heart, aorta

42
Q

2 factors predisposing to thrombosis

A
  1. Endothelial damage (hemodynamics stress- normal wear and tear)
  2. Hypertension (increase resistance of vascular wall… promotes endothelial damage)… arterial and venous
43
Q

Hypertension that promotes arterial endothelial damage

A
  1. Hemodynamics stress- normal wear and tear results in ARTERIOSCLEROSIS
  2. Atherosclerosis- plaque in arterial walls
44
Q

Venous endothelial damage may cause what kind of thrombosis?

A

Iatrogenic thrombosis- cause day medical care (IV lines, injections)

45
Q

Name 2 flow abnormalities

A
  1. Reduction rate of blood flow “complete stoppage” - STASIS

2. Turbulence

46
Q

Stasis May cause what?

A

Reduction rate of blood flow or complete stoppage… reduce rate of flow an disrupts axial blood flow

47
Q

What may cause a reduction in blood flow in the arterial system?

A
  1. CARDIAC DAMAGE- necrosis in heart muscle, myocardial infarction, rheumatic heart disease
  2. INCREASED BLOOD VISCOSITY- psoriatic arthritis, polycythemia
48
Q

What may cause a reduction of blood flow in the venous system?

A
  1. PHYSICAL INACTIVITY

2. VARICOSE VEINS
