Q

Inferior vena cava

A

Bring oxygen poor blood to heart from lower trunk and legs

16
Q

Intrinsic

A

Coagulation process that involves clotting factors

17
Q

Median cubital vein

A

Vein in ante cubital area ( bend of arm). Most common for ventipuncture

18
Q

Thrombocytes

A

Platelets.
Component of blood that aids in clotting.
Lifespan in 9-12 days.
Low count- thrombocytopenia

19
Q

Erythrocytes

A

RBC

Transport oxygen and carbon dioxide in blood

20
Q

Serum

A

Similar to plasma. Without clotting elements that are in plasma

21
Q

Systemic circuit

A

Part of cardiovascular system that carries oxygenated blood to tissues

22
Q

Vasoconstriction

A

Rapid constriction of blood vessels to decrease blood flow to area

23
Q

Veins

A

Blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart after oxygen had been delivered to the tissues.
Carry deoxygenated blood

24
Venules
Minute veins that flow into larger ones
25
Cardiovascular system
Heart, circulating blood, blood vessels Function: pump blood Disorders: tumors, heart disease, hemophilia... Test: enzymes, hemoglobin and hematocrit, CBC, playlet function, coagulation, bone marrow, cytogenetic analysis.
26
Lymphatic system
Lymph, lymphocytes, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, bone marrow, thymus Function: stimulate immune response, protect body, and transport fluid and proteins Disorder: lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, immune disorders, infections Test: bone marrow analysis, immune function
27
Pulmonary circuit
Carries deoxygenated blood.
28
Leukocytes
Defense/immunity. Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, lymphocytes. Formed in bone marrow and lymphatic tissues.
29
Pulmonary circuit
Carries deoxygenated blood.
