73
Q

blood

A

part of the circulatory or cardiovascular system; carries life sustaining oxygen and nutrients to tissues

74
Q

lymph

A

part of the lymphatic system; clear yellow fluid plays an important role in immune system/ fighting pathogens
aka interstitial fluid; does not contain platelets or RBC’s to fight infection; not contained in circulatory system

75
Q

what are Erythrocytes?

A

red blood cells (RBC’s)
made in red bone (epiphysis to long bones); hematopoiesis
delivers oxygen to cells and takes in carbon dioxide to lung to be exhaled
requires hemoglobin to bind with oxygen

76
Q

how long do RBC’s live and what do they do after that time frame?

A

they only live 3 months then are broken down and recycled to make new ones with dietary ingredients (iron)
they are in constant production; always working and delivering

77
Q

what are Leukocytes?

A

white blood cells (WBC’s) that fight infections; several different types
few in numbers unless you are fighting a infection
also made in marrow
white blood vessels look different b/c of different kinds of nuclei

78
Q

what are Thrombocytes?

A

Platelets; clotting/coagulation

79
Q

what is Plasma?

A

liquid portion of the blood (nonliving)
mostly water, salt, sugar, proteins (antibodies- they want these the most when donating), waste, hormones

80
Q

what are the functions of the Lymphatic System?

A

sewer system of the body- eventually dumps into circulatory system; removes waste, germs, toxins, and other substances from the body
no heart to pump fluid so it relies on skeletal muscles
controls fluid balance
fights pathogens outside of circulatory system
manufactures and transports lymph

81
Q

lymphatic vessels

A

carries lymph

82
Q

lymph nodes

A

filters of lymph

83
Q

tonsils

A

trap pathogens

84
Q

thymus

A

located in the mediastinum (center of chest); atrophies after puberty, pumps out antibodies (crap tons)

85
Q

Tonsils/Adenoids

A

“fly trap”; piece of tissue to trap pathogens

86
Q

spleen

A

filters out worn out RBCs called hemolysis; also serves as a blood reservoir

87
Q

liver

A

help with hemolysis; stores RBCs (helps the spleen)

88
Q

peyers patches

A

tonsils in the small intestine

89
Q

hemolysis

A

breaks down extra RBCs

90
Q

Anemia

A

decrease in RBC #’s

91
Q

iron deficiency anemia

A

the body can’t make new RBCs due to dietary deficient iron intake

92
Q

aplastic anemia

A

bone marrow is not able to produce RBCs usually due to chemo; iatrogenic condition

93
Q

hemolytic anemia

A

destruction of RBCs

94
Q

sickle-cell anemia

A

genetic disorder where bone marrow produces misshaped RBCs

95
Q

Hemophilia

A

genetic disorder where you cannot clot properly (thrombocytes)

96
Q

Leukemia

A

cancer of the bone marrow where there is high WBC count but do they do not function; blood cancer

97
Q

Multiple Myeloma

A

malignant cancer in bone marrow which produces abnormal plasma cells; cousin to leukemia; blood cancer

98
Q

Polycythemia

A

excessive production of RBCs; also bone marrow disorder; not cancerous; opposite of Anemias; overtime it could become an issue; treatable

99
Q

what does AIDS stand for?

A

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome; not enough WBCs

100
Q

what is AIDS?

A

caused by HIV which destroys T-cells (WBCs); you can be infected with HIV and see immediate results or be dormant for up to 10 years; just b/c someone is HIV positive doesn’t mean they have AIDs; dormant = HIV
active = AIDS
causes weird cancers and other disorders like kaposi sarcoma for ex
meds are designed to keep HIV in its dormant state

101
Q

what is HIV stand for?

A

Human Immunodeficiency Virus

102
Q

Autoimmune Disease

A

immunes system attack a chosen tissue/organ in your body; attacks itself basically

103
Q

Immunodeficiency Disorder

A

immune system is compromised; broad definition that lessen your body to perform well

104
Q

who would get a vaccine first like covid?

A

people with weakened immune systems like Diabetes, AIDS, Heart Diseases, Asthma, Emphysema
Diabetes take x2 as long to heal

105
Q

Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

A

Malignant cancer of spleen, liver, bone marrow, lymph nodes; organs/tissues

106
Q

Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

A

malignant cancer of lymphocytes

107
Q

Mononucleosis; Mono; Kissing Disease

A

caused by Epstein Barr virus and results in an increase in atypical monocytes (WBCs) and lymphocytes; 3-6 months contagious; lives up to 18 months but may not have symptoms

108
Q

Apheresis

A

separation of blood components using a special machine in an effort to remove autoantibodies; the spiny thing; takes out plasma puts back in cells; called a plasma donation

109
Q

Laboratory (lab) Test does what?

A

draws blood

110
Q

Blood Chemistry Profile

A

gives info about heart disease, kidney fuc, liver fuc, sugars; very commonly performed; picks up enzymes too; 1 vial

111
Q

Coagulation Test

A

clotting function test; 1 vial

112
Q

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

A

tells how many cells are in the blood

113
Q

Cross-matching

A

blood typing; expensive and not done usually; not done unless you need blood

114
Q

Red Blood Cell Morphology

A

microscopic examination of RBCs to determine morphology

115
Q

Serology Test

A

blood test to screen for antigen-antibody reactions; signals presence of infection

116
Q

Antibody Therapy

A

use of synthetic (lab made) antibodies to treat disease that affect the immune system; or patients who are immunosuppressed; super expensive; you can get human ones too (better option)

117
Q

Antineoplastic

A

drug that blocks the growth of new tumors

118
Q

Blood Transfusion

A

blood donation; giving blood to someone else or getting those pints of blood; a lot of people have mild rejection and tend to feel sick; worse case scenario is death- if you reject it they give you anti-inflammatory and anti-rejection meds

119
Q

A

used to kill virus and cancer cells; only after the cancer is killed; used in chemo; kills good and bad cells that why you get sick
