Hematology Flashcards
4 parts of blood
plasma
RBCs- erythrocytes
WBCs- leukocytes
platelets- thrombocytes
blood is formed in bone marrow and controlled by what hormone?
erythropoietin
basophils
eosinophils
neutrophils
granulocytes
lyse foreign materials
sign of organ damage, esp neutrophils
granulocytes
largest blood cells, immature until they reach destination tissue –> macrophages
helps inflammatory process/mediators
monocytes
secrete antibodies for phagocytosis
B cells
T cells
lymphocytes
cell mediated immunity
recognize and destroy cells affected by viruses
T cells
blood travels through _______ _______ where it is filtered for bacteria and viruses
lymph nodes
helps with proliferation, differentiation or function of lymphocytes and mononuclear phagocytes
lymph organs
reduction of O2 carrying capacity secondary to quantity or quality of RBCs
anemia
cbc lab values for anemia- male and female
less than 14 g/dL for males
less than 12 g/dL for females
arrest of bleeding after blood vv injury that involves the blood vv wall
platelets and plasma coagulation proteins
hemostasis
“plug” at site of injury (collagen, van Willebrand factor)
primary hemostasis
tissue factor exposure
secondary hemostasis
decreased # of platelets
thrombocytopenia
most common inherited bleeding disorder
decreased vWF
van Willebrand disease
hemophilia lacks what?
factor VIII which makes thrombin
all synovial joints affected
femoral, medial, ulnar most susceptible
intercranial hemorrhage
hemophilia
autosomal recessive disorder
hemoglobin S
sickle cell disease aka hemoglobinopathy
malignant neoplasm of blood forming cells
leukemia
replaces normal bone marrow with malignant bone marrow
Crowds marrow
3 main symptoms of leukemia
anemia
infection
bleeding
4 types of leukemia
acute lymphocytic
acute myeloid
chronic lymphocytic
chronic myeloid
