Q

Vascular Spasm

A

blood vessel constricts to limit blood escape

36
Q

Platelet Plug Formation

A

Platelets arrive at site of injury and stick to exposed collagen fibers

37
Q

Coagulation Phase

A

Coagulation converts inactive proteins to active forms which ultimately forms fibrin strands of a blood clot

38
Q

Hemophilia

A

Bleeding disorder caused by genetic mutations; X-linked recessive inheritance; more likely seen in males

39
Q

Surface Antigens

A

Project from erythrocyte membrane (A antigens on type A blood)

40
Q

Rh Factor

A

determines if blood type is positive or negative; only appear after negative person is exposed to positive blood

41
Q

Innate Immunity

A

Provided by multiple components that protect against a wide array of substances (skin and mucosal membrane and non specific internal defenses (immune cells, chemicals, physiologic responses of inflammation and fever)

42
Q

Adaptive Immunity

A

provided by lymphocytes that are activated to replicate and respond when stimulated by a specific antigen

43
Q

Leukemia

A

malignancy in leukocyte-forming cells; abnormal development and proliferation of leukocytes; results in anemia and bleeding
