IMPORTANT midterm 2 Flashcards
Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL)
Immature lymphocytes (lymphoblasts) predominate -sudden onset, children adolescents
Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)
Immature granulocytes (myeloblasts) predominate -platelets/erythrocytes are diminished
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)
Mature and immature granulocytes present In large numbers in bone marrow and blood
-slow progression (elderly)
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
Abnormal numbers of relatively mature lymphocytes predominate in marrow, spleen and nodes
-slow progression (elderly)
Oligodendrogliocyte
Produces myelin

Drill a hole in brain
Craniotomy
Remove a piece
Craniectomy
Order of meninges
Dura mater Subdural space Arachnoid membrane Subarachnoid space Pia mater
Porphyria cutanea tarda
Deficiency In enzymes of the porphyrin pathway leads to the insufficient production of heme
-porphyrins accumulate and have toxic effects
Priapism
The erect penis does not return to it’s normal flaccid state, greater then 6 hours
Basophils
Contain heparin (prevents clotting) and histamine (involved in allergic reactions)
Eosinophils
Phagocytic cells involved in allergic responses and parasitic infections
Neutrophils
Phagocytes cells that accumulate at sites of infection
Monocytes
Phagocytic cells that become macrophage and digest bacteria and tissue debris
