Q

. What are the three stages of coagulation?

A

Step 1 – Prothrombinase is formed.
Step 2 – Prothrombinase converts prothrombin (a plasma protein formed in the liver with the help of vitamin K) into the enzyme thrombin.
Step 3 – Thrombin converts soluble fibrinogen (another plasma protein made by the liver) into insoluble fibrin.

Q

What is fibrinolysis?

A

Blood and body tissues contain substances that activate plasminogen into plasmin. Once plasmin activates it begins digesting and dissolving fibrin threads thus removing the clot.

32
Q

What are the two major blood groups discussed?

A

ABO and Rh

33
Q

In the ABO blood group what 2 antigens are there?

A

A and B

34
Q

In the Rh what antigen is dealt with?

A

Rh antigen or D antigen

35
Q

Which blood group has naturally occurring antibodies?

A

ABO

36
Q

What are the five blood products?

A

Fresh Whole Blood, Plasma, Packed RBC, Platelets; Frozen

37
Q

When would you use fresh whole blood?

A

Massive hemorrhage when more than 10 units are expected to be required and Cardiac surgery.

38
Q

What does fresh whole blood give that other blood products does not?

A

1:1:1 ratio

39
Q

What is a hemolytic transfusion reaction?

A

Most severe are acute, involving incompatible mismatches in the ABO system. Most due to clerical errors and mislabeled specimens.

40
Q

How would you treat a patient with a hemolytic transfusion reaction?

A

Stop transfusion immediately. Vigorously hydrate patient to prevent acute tubular necrosis. Forced diuresis with mannitol may help prevent or minimize acute kidney injury.

41
Q

What is the normal HCT level?

A

Males is 42%-52%. Females is 37%-47%.

42
Q

What kind of tissue is lymphatic tissue?

A

Reticular connective tissue

43
Q

What is the difference between lymph and blood plasma?

A

Main difference is that interstitial fluid and lymph contain less protein than blood plasma

44
Q

How much fluid from blood is filtered each day?

A

About 20 liters

45
Q

How much fluid is being re-uptaked into the cardiovascular system?

A

17 liters

46
Q

How much goes into lymph system?

A

3 liters

47
Q

What are the three primary functions of the lymphatic system?

A

Drains excess interstitial fluid; Transports Dietary Lipids; Carries out Immune Responses.

48
Q

Where do lymphatic capillaries start?

A

Lymphatic capillaries begin in the tissues and carry the lymph that forms there toward a larger lymphatic vessel. Closed at one end and located in the spaces between cells.

49
Q

What happens when interstitial fluid pressure is greater than in the lymph?

A

the cells separate slightly, like a one-way swinging door, and interstitial fluid enters the lymphatic capillary

50
Q

What happens when pressure is greater inside the lymphatic capillary than the interstitial fluid?

A

the cells adhere more closely and lymph cannot escape back into interstitial fluid.

51
Q

What are the two main lymphatic channels?

A

Thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct

52
Q

Thoracic duct receives and drains where?

A

Receives lymph from the left side of the head, neck, and chest; the left upper limb; and the entire body below the ribs.

53
Q

Right lymphatic duct drains where?

A

Drains lymph from the upper right side of the body

54
Q

What are the two pumps that help move lymph?

A

Skeletal muscle pump and respiratory pump

55
Q

What are the primary lymphatic organs?

A

Red bone marrow and thymus

56
Q

What are the secondary lymphatic organs?

A

Lymph node, spleen, lymphatic nodules

57
Q

The spleen is what and contains what?

A

Largest single mass of lymphatic tissue in the body. Contains two types of tissue, white pulp (lymphatic tissue where B and T cells carry out immune responses) and red pulp (blood-filled sinuses where worn-out blood cells and platelets are removed).

58
Q

Where are lymphatic nodules found?

A

In the connective tissue of mucous membranes lining the gastrointestinal, urinary, and reproductive tracts and the respiratory airways.

59
Q

Innate immunity is what?

A

Includes barriers provided by the skin and mucous membranes (First Line of Defense) and also includes various internal defenses (Second Line of Defense), such as antimicrobial substances, natural killer cells, phagocytes, inflammation, and fever.

60
Q

What is phagocytosis?

A

The ingestion of microbes or other particles. (cells eating cells)

61
Q

What do natural killer cells do?

A

Kill a wide variety of microbes and tumor cells. Present in spleen, nodes and red bone marrow. They cause cellular destruction by releasing proteins that destroy the target cells membrane. (poke it to kill it)

62
Q

What does inflammation do?

A

Prevents spread to other tissues and prepares site for repair.

63
Q

What does fever do?

A

Intensifies effects of interferons, inhibits microbial growth and speeds up reactions that aid in repair.

64
Q

What are signs of inflammation?

A

Swelling, heat, redness, pain

65
Q

What are the four antimicrobial substances, what do the interferons do

A

Diffuse to uninfected neighboring cells, where they stimulate synthesis of proteins that interfere with viral replication.

66
Q

What does complement do

A

Enhance certain immune, allergic, and inflammatory reactions. Create holes in the plasma membrane of the microbe.

67
Q

What is the purpose of iron-binding proteins?

A

Inhibit the growth of certain bacteria by reducing the amount of available iron.

68
Q

What do antimicrobial proteins (AMPs) do?

A

Attract dendritic cells and mast cells, which participate in immune responses.

69
Q

What does MHC protein do?

A

Identifies and keeps body from attacking itself

70
Q

T Cells exit Thymus as what two major cells?

A

Helper T Cells and Cytotoxic T Cells

71
Q

What do Cytotoxic T Cells do?

A

Kill

72
Q

What do helper T Cells do?

A

Coordinate and activate both T Cells and B Cells

73
Q

What happens during clonal selection?

A

Lymphocyte proliferates (divides) and differentiates (forms more highly specialized cells) in response to a specific antigen. Creates memory cells and effector cells

74
Q

What is the lifespan of effector cells?

A

Short lived

75
Q

What is the lifespan of memory cells?

A

Long lived

76
Q

What are the five classes of immunoglobulins?

A

IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, and IgE.

77
Q

Which on recognizes a recent infection?

A

IgM

78
Q

Which one is in breast milk?

A

IgA
