Q

thrombocytes

A

platelets

  • formed in bone marrow
  • responsible for hemostasis
  • controls coagulation
    • vascular spasm
    • platelet plug
  • normal count: 150,000- 450,000
17
Q

hematopoiesis

utero and adult

A
  • blood formation

in utero

 - initially in rbcs only
- remainder of blood components

adulthood

 - primarily controlled by bone marrow 
 - spleen aids in production 
 - maturation
18
Q

maturation

A

cell maturing

  • thymus
  • bone marrow
  • peripheral blood
  • tissue
19
Q

hemostasis

A
  • process in which bleeding stops

- multi-stage process

20
Q

hemostasis multi-stage process stages

A

vasoconstriction

  • vessels narrow, decreasing flow to the site of injury
  • results in increased bp

platelet plug formation

  • activation: chemicals released
  • aggregation: plaletes sticking together
  • adherence: adhere to the wall- temporarily platlet plug

coagulation

  • referred to as clotting cascade
  • fibrinogen –> fibrin—> blood clot
21
Q

fibrinogen

A

mesh network, stable clot

22
Q

changes with age: decrease volume

A

less blood volume so there is less of a reservoir in the event of blood loss

23
Q

changes with age: decrease bone marrow activity

A

becomes infiltrated with things like fat and fibrotic tissues

24
Q

changes with age: antibody response

A

lead to things like a slower response to foreign antigens

25
Q

changes with age: rate of cell production

A

leads to anemia

26
Q

changes with age: increase platelet aggregation

A

blood is more prone to coagulate

27
Q

lymphatic system

A
  • main connection to spleen
  • located in RUQ
  • filters blood, removed pathogens and old blood cells and helps in the producing of lymphocytes
  • serves as a reservoir for extra blood
  • if removed body accommodates and the spleen and liver take over the function
28
Q

during hemorrhage the spleen:

A

spleen contracts forced some of the stored blood out of the spleen and into the cardiovascular system

29
Q

physical assessment signs: vital signs

A
  • increase hr

- increase RR

30
Q

physical assessment signs: LOC

A

irritability

confusion

31
Q

physical assessment signs: skin color

A

pallor
cyanosis
jaundice

32
Q

physical assessment signs: signs of bleeding

A

ecchymosis

petechiae

33
Q

physical assessment signs: fingernails

A

striations
spoon-shaped
clubbing

34
Q

physical assessment signs: abdomen

A
  • increase girth
  • changes in BS
  • black/tarry stools and coffee ground emesis
35
Q

physical assessment signs: activity intolerance

A
  • increase oxygen demand
36
Q

vasoconstriction

A
  • vessels narrow, decreasing flow to the site of injury

- results in increased bp

37
Q

platelet plug

A
  • activation: chemicals released
  • aggregation: plates sticking together
  • adherence: adhere to the wall- temporarily platelet plug
38
Q

coagulation

A
  • referred to as clotting cascade

- fibrinogen –> fibrin—> blood clot
