Module 17 Exam 3 Flashcards
where do early signs of systemic conditions manifest themselves
in the oral soft tissues
What are findings that may suggest a blood disorder
- gingival bleeding
- history of difficulty of controlling bleeding
- history of bruising
- numerous petichiae
- pallor of mucous membrane
- atrophy of papillae of tongue
- sore painful tongue
- infections, dont respond to normal tx
- server ulcerations
- exaggerated gingival response to local irritants
what is normal blood comprised of
55% plasma and 45% formed elements
what do the formed elements consist of?
44% erythrocytes
1% leukocytes
what does hematocrit show
- percentage packed volume of blood cells
- normal values are males 39-39% females 33-43%
Where do blood cells originate
bone marrow
what is a hemocytoblast
stem cell of origin
what cells leave the bone marrow and go to lymphoid tissue for maturing
agranulocytes (lymphocytes, monocytes)
What are the plasma proteins
albumin, gamma globulins, beta globulins, fibrinogen, prothrombin
what is albumin
maintains tissue fluid balance within the vascular system
what are gamma globulins
circulating antibodies essential to the immune system
what are beta globulins
aid in transport of hormones, metallic ions and lipids
what is fibrinogen and prothrombin essential for
blood clotting
if plasma is allowed to clot what is it called
serum
what is plasma composed of
90% water
10% plasma proteins, inorganic salts, gases substances being transported
What are erythrocytes
- RBC/corpuscles
- biconcave discs
- CO2 transported from cells
what are the functions of RBC
transport hemoglobin, carry 02 to the body, C02 transported from the cells
what is hemoglobin measured in
g/ml
normal values 12 to 17.2
what are the two kinds of WBC (leukocytes)
granulocytes, agranulocytes
what are the granulocytes
neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils
what are the agranulocytes
lymphocytes, monocytes
what cells arrive first of the WBC
neutrophils
what functions as a transport medium for WBC
blood
what are lymphocytes
-round cells with round nucleus
capable of reverting to blast-like cells of origin and then multiplying as the immunologic need arises
what are monocytes
- bean shaped
- phagocytic
- in conn tissue differentiate into macrophages
what are neutrophils
PMN
- most numerous of WBC
- ameoboid in the tissues and function in phagocytosis, first line of defense
what are eosinophils
-increase during allergic reactions
what are basophis
-increases vascular permeability during inflammation so that the phagocytic cells can pass into the area
