Septic

158
Q

Hemarthrosis

A

Blood within a joint space

159
Q

Describe the fluid in non-inflammatory edema

A

“Protein Poor”

Low protein content ( <30g/L)

Low specific gravity ( < 1.025)

Low cellularity ( < 1.5x109L)

Less than 1500 cells per uL

160
Q

Congestion

A

Passive venous engorgement - blood is not oxygenated

161
Q

Tissue Factor - Factor III-Thromboplastin

A

Membrane bound procoagulant glycoprotein synthesized by endothelium. Acts in conjunction with Factor VII as the major in vivo pathway to activate the coagulation cascade, eventually culminating in thrombin

162
Q

Paint Brush Hemorrhage

A

Looks like if red paint was hastily applied with a paint brush - most common on mucosal and serosal surfaces

163
Q

Condition

A

Colonic Torsion

164
Q

Pathological hyperemia is usually caused by

A

Inflammation

165
Q

Subactue to chronic hepatic congestion is usually the result of

A

Right Sided Heart Failure

166
Q

Hemorrhage by Diapedesis

A

Hemorrhage due to a small defect in the vessel wall or RBCs passing through the vessel wall in cases of inflammation or congestion

167
Q

Hemothorax

A

Blood in the thoracic cavity

168
Q

Gingivitis and blood shot eyes are an example of what circulatory disturbance

A

Hyperemia

169
Q

Iron (Perl’s) Stain

A

Highlights hemosiderin - laden macrophages within alveoli

Q

Example of what circulatory disturbance

A

Congestion and Edema

171
Q

Components necessary for normal hemostasis or thrombosis

A

Vascular wall

Platelets

Coagulation cascade

172
Q

Substances released from vascular endothelium that modulate perfusion

A

NO

Endothelin

173
Q

Nitric Oxide

A

Causes vasodilation, inhibits platelet adhesion and aggregation

174
Q

Example of what circulatory disturbance?

A

Thrombosis

175
Q

Example of what circulatory disturbance

A

Infarction

176
Q

Structural molecules of the ECM include

A

Collagen, Reticulin and Elastic Fibers

177
Q

Inflammatory Edema

A

Increased vascular permeability - refers to as an exudate

178
Q

Condition

A

Dissecting aneurysm

179
Q

Coagulation Cascade

A

Amplifying series of enzymatic conversions; each step proteolytically cleaves an inactive proenzyme into an activated enzyme, culminating in thrombin formation
