PRACTICAL 1 Flashcards
plasma
55%
erythrocytes
45%
leukocytes
3x larger than RBC, around body tissues and in blood
granulocytes
neutrophils eosinophils basophils
agranulocytes
lymphocytes monocytes
neutrophil
abundant multilobed nuclei
eosinophil
red or pink, bilobed nuclei
basophil
black granules, bilobed nucleus
lymphocytes
large/round nuclei
monocytes
kidney shaped nuclei
sickle cell anemia
crescent shaped RBC inherited hemoglobin B chain mutation less O2 carrying capacity, lack production of RBC
sickle cell anemia hematocrit
less than normal because of decreased RBC production
polycythemia
RBC more packed together, overactivity of EPO or testosterone/ decrease in plasma high bp or clots from viscosity
infectious mononucleosis
atypical lymphocytes with abnormal nuclei, unusual shapes of cells, cytoplasmic skirting
polycythemia hematocrit
higher than normal due to overproduction of RBC
leukemia
unregulated overproduction of immature leukocytes
myelogenous leukemia
bone marrow
lymphocytic leukemia
lymphocytes
leukemia hematocrit
lower than normal
compensated blood loss hematocrit
lower, plasma increases because of water retention
dehydration hematocrit
higher, less plasma
doping hematocrit
higher, more RBC
codominance
A + B antigens can be present
hemagglutination
antibodies bind to 2 RBC which creates clumping can cause hemolysis and mass immune response
igG antibody
Rh blood; antigen-antibody, crosses placenta only AFTER exposure
IgM antibody
doesn’t cross placenta
hemolytic disease
mother does not have Rh antibody in 1st pregnancy; develops Rh antibody during delivery from hemorrhage; second child blood gets agglutinated from Rh-AB crossing placenta leads to anemia, jaundice
hemoglobin levels
men: 13-18 women: 11-16
hematocrit levels
men: 47 Women: 42
low hematocrit and low hemoglobin
anemia
normal hematocrit and low hemoglobin
anemia
tunica intima
endothelium
tunica media
smooth muscle for vasoconstriction
tunica externa
areolar connective tissue
lumen of arteries
narrow
lumen of veins
wide
cross section of arteries
circular if cut
cross section of veins
collapses when cut
wall thickness of arteries
thicker
wall thickness of veins
thinner
elasticity of arteries
very elastic
elasticity of veins
not elastic
valves in arteries?
no valve
valves in veins?
yes:)
normal cardiac tissue
branching, striations, centrally located nuclei, intercalated discs
myocardial infarction
heart attack from one of the arteries being blocked loss of striation, dead myocytes lose nuclei, blood supply disrupted, lots of leukocytes
atherosclerosis
large deposition of lipids and debris, impairs blood flow and oxygen to myocardium leading to coronary artery disease and heart attack
atherosclerosis path
lipids –> fatty streaks + fibrous tissue and muscle –> fibrous plaques + calcium + cholesterol –> restricted flow
human electrocardiogram
measures electrical activities of the heart from the electrodes attached to the outer surface of the skin
sinoatrial node
pacemaker cells that propagate AP through muscle fibers of atria
AV node
connection between atria and ventricular muscle, serves as backup pacemaker, slow
lead
pair of electrodes; each lead detects the projection of the actual wave from a different angle
ECG
electrical activities recorded from a lead
positive vector
+ from - to + - from + to -
negative vector
+ from + to - - from - to +
Einthoven’s triangle set up
negative: right arm
ground: right leg
positive: left
mean electrical axis
can indicate myocardial damage + ventricular activation changes
why does the t wave have a positive deflection?
repolarization process are assigned a negative charge, and the direction of repolarization is negative
what is the relationship b/w ECG and start of pulse wave and maximum height of pulse?
start occurs during ventricular repolarization and max occurs during atrial depolarization
relationship between ECG and pulse rate
time is the same, starts and ends at atrial depolarization
blood flow in heart
blood into the vena cava, right atria, right ventricle, pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins to left atria, left ventricle to aorta
blood flow from ascending aorta
aortic arch brachiocephalic trunk left common carotid left subclavian artery
descending thoracic aorta
celiac trunk superior mesenteric artery inferior mesenteric artery right and left renal arteries common iliac arteries
>100 bpm
tachycardia
<60bpm
bradycardia
ST interval above isoelectric
myocardial infarction
ST interval below isoelectric

No p wave, wide irregular QRS
aberrant AF ventricular
No P wave, wide regular QRS

atrial flutter
normal p wave, QRS never related
3* AV block ventricular standstill
normal p wave, sometimes QRS related
2* AV block
normal p wave, related to QRS, long PR interval
1* AV block

subclavian artery
supplies blood to arms
axillary artery
supplies blood to pectoral muscles
