Module 8: Coagulation/ Hematopoietic/ Adaptive Immunity/ Tansplants/ Vaccines Flashcards
Erythrocyte (RBC)
transports gas to and from tissues and cells
Leukocyte (WBC)
defend body against organisms that cause infection and also remove debris
Platelet
coagulation and control of bleeding through adhesion, activation, and aggregation
Neutrophil
phagocytosis, particularly during early phase of inflammation
Eosinophil
control of inflammation, phagocytosis, defense against parasites, allergic reactions
Basophil
cell-like functions, associated with allergic reactions
Monocyte and Macrophage
phagocytosis (engulf); mononuclear phagocyte system
Lymphocyte
humoral and cell-mediated immunity
Natural Killer Cell
defense against some tumors and viruses
Clot Formation
injured cells release prothrombin activator, prothrombin activator changes prothrombin to thrombin, thrombin changes fibrinogen to fibrin, fibrin forms insoluble web over injured area to stop bleeding
Clot Degradation
initiated by release of tissue plasminogen activator (TPA), TPA converts plasminogen to plasmin, plasmin digests fiber strands which restores circulation, fibrin degradation products are produced
Pernicious Anemia
- lack of vitamin B12; abnormal DNA and RNA synthesis is erythroblast; premature cell death
- macrocytic anemia
- caused by congenital or acquired deficiency of intrinsic factor (IF); genetic disorder of DNA synthesis
Folate Deficiency Anemia
- lack of folate; premature cell death
- macrocytic anemia
- caused by dietary folate deficiency
Iron Deficiency Anemia
- lack of iron for hemoglobin; insufficient hemoglobin
- microcytic hypochromic anemia
- caused by chronic blood loss, dietary iron deficiency, disruption of iron metabolism or iron cycle
Posthemorrhagic Anemia
- blood loss
- normocytic-normochromic anemia
- caused by increased erythropoiesis; iron depletion
Sickle Cell Anemia
- abnormal hemoglobin synthesis, abnormal cell shape with susceptibility to damage, lysis, and phagocytosis
- normocytic-normochromic anemia
- caused by congenital dysfunction of hemoglobin synthesis
Hemophilia
a group of inherited bleeding disorders resulting from mutations in coagulation factors
Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP)
destruction of platelets or antibody-mediated inflammatory reactions to allergens damage blood vessels and cause seepage into tissues
