Pharmacology
Various pharmaceutical agents are available to treat blood, lymphatic, and immune system disorders. These drugs act directly on individual components of each system. For example, anticoagulants help____ clot formation but are ineffective in____ formed clots. Instead,____ help dissolve clots that obstruct coronary, cerebral, or pulmonary arteries.
prevent destroying thrombolytics
Conversely, hemo____help prevent or control hemorrhage. In addition,____ and____ are common treatments for diseases of the blood and immune system. For example, antineo____-chemo drug prevent cellular replication to halt the spread of cancer in the body; antiretrovirals prevent viral____ within cells and have been effective in slowing the progression of HIV and AIDS. (See Table 9-4.)
