GLOSSARY SECTION I PART B Flashcards
impaired outflow of venous blood-venous stasis (passive process)
caused by microscopic hemorrhaging-produces blue red color in effected area
congestion
labile cells divide continuously, proliferate throughout life, continuous replacement
continuously
control entry and progression thought the cell cycle
complex with and activate cyclin dependent kinases
function in DNA replication, depolymerization of nuclear lamina, formation of mitotic spindles
cyclins
important for cell signaling (IL-1, TNF)
can change cytoskeleton, be acted on to recruit WBC, cause chemotaxis
cytokines
due to albumin loss like renal disease
decreased albumin synthesis like liver disease
decreased plasma oncotic pressure
Coombs test
detects presence of immunoglobulin and or complement cascade components coating the surface of RBCs
direct antiglobin test
fluid accumulates under the skin usually in areas below the heart
dependent edema
CHF, constrictive pericarditis, cirrhosis
generalized edema
venous obstruction, thrombosis, external compression, inactivity
pulmonary edema
systemic thromboembolism
80% from heart and 20% from aortic aneurysm, plaques, valve vegetation
end up in brain 10% and lower extremity 75%
arterial emboli
pulmonary embolism
95% originiate in deep leg veins
saddle emboli or small multiple emboli
venous emboli
air that enters circulation, can coalesce and cause obstruction in flow like ischemia
occurs from obstetric procedure, chest wall injury, iatrogenic, decompression sickness
air embolus
uncommon complication
mortality 80%
amniotic fluid embolus
microscopic fat globules in circulation
occurs after the fracture of long bones
fat embolism syndrome 1-3 days after injury
fat embolus
comes from lipofuscin, melanin, and hemosiderin
endogenous glucose accumulation
